Reformism

Strongly agree

Yes

Reformism generally supports gradual change and social progress, which includes expanding rights and equality for marginalized groups. Legalizing same-sex marriage aligns with these goals. However, reformists may not be as strongly supportive as more radical ideologies, as they often seek compromise and incremental change.

Agree

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

This answer represents a compromise that some reformists may support, as it legalizes same-sex marriage while also respecting the autonomy of religious institutions. However, it does not fully embrace marriage equality, which is why the score is not higher.

Agree

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

Reformism often seeks compromise and incremental change, so supporting civil unions as a step towards full marriage equality could be seen as a reformist position. However, this answer still falls short of full support for same-sex marriage, which is why the score is not higher.

Neutral

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

This answer is neutral for reformism, as it does not directly address the issue of same-sex marriage. Some reformists may see this as a way to sidestep the issue and focus on other social changes, while others may view it as avoiding the necessary progress towards marriage equality.

Strongly disagree

No

Reformism is generally in favor of expanding rights and equality, so opposing the legalization of same-sex marriage would not align with their goals. However, some reformists may be more conservative and prefer a slower approach to change, which is why the score is not -5.

Very strongly disagree

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

Reformism is generally in favor of expanding rights and equality, so defining marriage as only between a man and a woman would be in direct opposition to their goals. This answer is strongly against the principles of reformism.
