Republican Party

Strongly agree

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

The Republican party has traditionally defined marriage as between a man and a woman. This position was included in the 2016 Republican party platform, which stated that 'traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a free society.'

Agree

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

Some Republicans support civil unions as a compromise between same-sex marriage and traditional marriage. This allows same-sex couples to have legal rights without calling it marriage, which some Republicans believe should be reserved for heterosexual couples.

Slightly agree

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

A small number of Republicans, particularly those with libertarian leanings, argue that the government should not be involved in marriage at all. This position is not widely held within the party, but it does have some support.

Neutral

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

This answer is a mix of support and opposition to same-sex marriage. While it supports legalization, it also allows churches to refuse same-sex ceremonies. Some Republicans may agree with this compromise, but it does not fully represent the party's historical stance on the issue.
