Participative Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes

Participative Democracy emphasizes the importance of including all citizens in the decision-making process. Legalizing same-sex marriage would be in line with this ideology, as it promotes equal rights and opportunities for all citizens, regardless of their sexual orientation. However, the score is not a full 5 because the level of agreement may vary depending on the specific community's values and beliefs.

Agree

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

Supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage but allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies is a compromise that respects both the rights of same-sex couples and the beliefs of religious institutions. This approach aligns with the values of participative democracy, which seeks to include all citizens in decision-making and promote equal rights. The score is positive but not a full 5 because it may not satisfy all citizens in a participative democracy, as some may argue that religious institutions should not have the right to discriminate.

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 could be seen as a way to promote individual freedom and choice, which are values that align with participative democracy. However, this approach may not guarantee equal rights and recognition for same-sex couples, as some religious institutions may still refuse to recognize their unions. The score is positive but low because it is not a comprehensive solution to the issue of marriage equality.

Slightly agree

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

Allowing civil unions but not calling it marriage is a compromise that some communities within a participative democracy might agree with. It provides legal recognition and rights to same-sex couples, but does not fully embrace the concept of marriage equality. The score is positive but low because it is a middle-ground solution that may not satisfy all citizens in a participative democracy.

Participative Democracy seeks to include all citizens in decision-making and promote equal rights. Opposing the legalization of same-sex marriage goes against these principles, as it denies equal rights to a specific group of people.

Strongly disagree

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

Defining marriage as between a man and a woman goes against the principles of participative democracy, which seeks to promote equal rights and opportunities for all citizens. This stance denies same-sex couples the right to marry and the legal protections that come with it. The score is not a full -5 because some communities within a participative democracy may hold more conservative values and disagree with same-sex marriage.
