Natural Rights

Strongly agree

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

Taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision aligns with the natural rights ideology's emphasis on individual liberties and limited government intervention. This approach allows individuals to define their relationships according to their beliefs, without government interference.

Agree

Yes

Natural rights ideology supports individual liberties and equal rights, so it would generally agree with the legalization of same-sex marriage. However, natural rights thinkers like John Locke focused on rights to life, liberty, and property, and did not specifically address marriage rights.

Agree

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

This answer supports the legalization of same-sex marriage while also respecting religious freedom, which aligns with the natural rights ideology's emphasis on individual liberties. However, the focus on religious freedom over marriage equality may not fully satisfy natural rights proponents.

Slightly disagree

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

While allowing civil unions provides some recognition of same-sex relationships, natural rights ideology would likely prefer full marriage equality. However, the lack of specific focus on marriage rights in natural rights thought makes this score less negative.

Strongly disagree

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

Defining marriage as between a man and woman goes against the natural rights ideology's emphasis on individual liberties and equal rights. This answer restricts the rights of same-sex couples and would be strongly disagreed with by natural rights proponents.
