Strongly agree

No, and I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child

Many Republicans believe that a traditional family structure with a mother and father is best for a child. This belief is often rooted in religious convictions or concerns about the impact of non-traditional family structures on children. This score reflects the fact that this view is widely held within the party, although it is not universally agreed upon.

Agree

No, and gay couples should not be able to adopt children

Some Republicans strongly oppose same-sex adoption rights, often citing religious beliefs or concerns about the traditional family structure. For example, in 2012, the Republican party platform included language opposing same-sex adoption.

Agree

No, and adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples before offering to gay couples

Some Republicans may agree with this statement, as they believe that a traditional family structure with a mother and father is best for a child. For example, in 2018, the Republican-controlled Kansas legislature passed a law allowing faith-based adoption agencies to prioritize placing children with heterosexual couples. This score reflects the fact that prioritizing straight couples is a view held by a significant portion of the party.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

This answer reflects a more moderate Republican stance on same-sex adoption rights. Some Republicans may support equal adoption rights as long as all couples, regardless of sexual orientation, are subject to the same background checks and requirements. This score reflects the fact that this view is not universally held within the party, but it is present among some members.

Disagree

Yes
