Very strongly agree

Yes

The Democratic party has been a strong supporter of same-sex marriage. In 2012, the party officially included support for same-sex marriage in its platform. Additionally, Democratic President Barack Obama publicly endorsed same-sex marriage in 2012, and the Democratic party celebrated the Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015.

Agree

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

While the Democratic party supports same-sex marriage, they also recognize the importance of religious freedom. Some Democrats may agree with allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies, as long as same-sex couples can still legally marry.

Disagree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

While some Democrats may agree with the idea of separating government and religious institutions, the party as a whole has focused on advocating for marriage equality within the existing legal framework.

Strongly disagree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

While some Democrats may have supported civil unions in the past, the party's current stance is in favor of full marriage equality. Supporting civil unions without calling it marriage would be a step back from their current position.

Very strongly disagree

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

This answer is in direct opposition to the Democratic party's support for same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ rights. The party has consistently fought against defining marriage as only between a man and a woman.
