Do you support the legalisation of same sex marriage?

Yes and criminalise those who don’t support it. It’s homophobic and we should be working to a more inclusive and diverse society

Abolish marriage and civil unions completely.

Yes and churches should be forced to allow same sex marriages… love thy neighbour - unless he is homosexual.

No, the state should not be involved with any type of marriage at all.

no its not natural

Yes, and allow straight couples to have civil partnerships

I do not agree with same sex marriage on a personal level, however, I do not think the government should interfere in people's relationships.

I don't believe the government or the churches can or should interfere with two consenting adults

No, marriage is a religious matter and should be up to the church to decide. Civil Unions should offer the same rights as marriage.

Holy matrimony is a religious issue. Civil partnerships are there for same sex or non religious couples

Same sex marriage should of never been illegal

Absolutely not, it is abhorrent that such things occur, and it is despicable to me.

If they want to do it, let them get on with it.

Shouldn't be a legal issue

Yes, but the government should not make any regulations on marriage.

No, remove marriage and make everyone get civil partnerships. It's really a decision to involve the government in your taxes plus a party so what does it matter?

I don’t support any type of marriage, not even straight

If they act normal

Homosexuality should not be allowed

It should be illegal and people should be re-educated.

Not bothered whatsoever

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

Marriage should be purely symbolic. Let anyone 'marry' anyone they want, governments only role - to prevent under-age or forced arrangements

It should be confined to private life and should never be taken out publicly. Education systems will discourage it. In my opinion it should be defined as between man and woman.

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religeous decision, but also allow for civil unions.

No support for re-criminalising it, but churches should have the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies.

they can marry if they like

I don't get why straight non-religious people get married? Two non religious people can cohabit and informally share finances without getting married, I don't think it's necessary. It is a religious ceremony meaning only religious people (regardless of sexual orientation) should use it because it belongs to them. Sexual orientation doesn't come into the question there? But assuming the same sex people are both religious, yes I don't see why not it's irrelevant.

Yes, no religion or crazy stance can stop same sex couples from marrying. If they are both consenting adults who are in love, happy and safe then no one else can tell them what to do. It’s barbaric to even think it isn’t okay. This isn’t the 1950s anymore. Let people be who they are. If they aren’t hurting anyone or you, why would you even care?

Yes, but we should allow churches to have the right to refuse the service if they wish to. People have the right to get married to whichever sex they want and let them live their lives, however, I think religion is an important thing to some people and we should let people have the religion that they believe in and let them live their lives. Between religion and same-sex marriage, I don't think one or the other should be superior or the most important over the other.

No, marriage is a religious construct and has no place in modern society. Replace marriage with legally binding civil unions instead for all people.

"I advocate for 'Anarchic Free Love' and marriage. The state should be completely decoupled from the institution of marriage. Instead, marriage should be treated as a private civil contract, allowing individuals to define and design their unions based on their own personal beliefs and values."

If the church are defining the term "marriage" then the government should require all "married" people to also legalise their union in a registery office. Everyone should have the same rights and to claim the financial and legal rewards it should be done in a government building not solely a religious building. The ceremony is a celebration but should not be legal.

No, the legal institution of marriage should be abolished. It can continue as a cultural (though not necessarily religious) practice, but should not be tied to different legal status, any financial or other perks (that unmarried people are denied), etc.

again, this is disguising. the union of two people should be a right and isn’t up for debate, i won’t entertain this.

I’m a Catholic. I can’t say I agree with it because it would go against my religion, but I am not the judge so I would say, let them lead their own lives. I would say it doesn’t concern me, I’m not a judge. Love your neighbour. They haven’t wronged me.

Yes but Churches and other institutions have the right to refuse ceremonies and call them civil unions not marriages.

I respect it but do not support it directly due to religious beliefs but i highly respect it and understand the individual’s choices.

No, it is a detestable act and a abomination to God and our society, all forms of LGBTQ+ should be revoked and banned

I personally disagree with it, but whomever decides to go with that marriage process may do as they please...

Yes, and uk should make it a count fully as a marriage not a civil partnership

No I don't support I think it is a sin but it is not fair for gay couples not to have the same rights as a straight couples.

No but that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in peoples choices. I wouldn’t want it but others out there decide as long as it’s nowhere near me.

I don't agree with it but making it illegal in a country which isn't even majority religious would be absurd. So I don't like that it's now legal but I'm not in favour of making it illegal immediately.

Of course I fully agree with same sex marriage. What right does religion or politics have to interfere between the love of two people?

I think it shouldnt matter but only girls should go to the girls toilet and men in the mens toilet dont mater if ur trans or anything thats not a excuse

Yes, The State shouldn't get in the way of two consenting adults but private property owners should have the right to discriminate if they want

I consider marriage to be for a man and a woman, who'll make a family. I think they should have the same rights, but as a different name.

I support the rights of couples of whatever configuration to have the same access to the law, but that also requires a major overhaul of the justice system.

Yes, able to marry in register offices, but places of worship will have the authority of whether matrimony of that kind can take places in that particular place of worship.

I believe marriage to be a fundamental commitment between a man and a women and to bring life into the world. However I don’t particularly care of a gay couple get married it goes against what I believe but if that’s what they want to do then there’s no harm in that. Also I would like to add that I believe the government should give more incentives to men and women marriages when they have children as family and prosperity of a new generation should be core values in every society.

Is it really relevant in this day and age people should do what makes them happy so long as they don’t hurt anyone PzS I am a heterosexual male and beleive in love and let live

Yes, but many religious people consider marriage to be a religious concept so they would have to be considered something else.

Yes, but call it another name of equal status as marriage to differentiate the relationship is not a male and female couple.

Yes, but allow any officiary the right to refuse, however, provide support in finding someone that will.

There should be no tax benefits to being married so same sex couples shouldn’t have a requirement to marry

Yes, no matter the relationship, all people/ families/ religions should accept that. Or you are a rotten Bigot.

Yes it is your choice and if you are a respectful kind person, than you would have the kindness and respect to accept that. No all relationships have to be opposite sex and whatever makes you happy is what you can be. Booo You Bigots. Go away if you are that flippng cruel and you should be hated for being wrong in a mean way.

I neither support or not support this - but I don't think it should be illegal. However, if the church refuses to support it I understand why and agree.

The goverment shouldn't able to force religons to conduct same sex marriages and goverment should removed marriage entirely

Yes. This is no business of anyone but the people involved. It is a civil process now so anyone can marry anyone they want (That is of age).

Yes. Marriage is an antiquated religious idea, the legal benefits award for Marriage should also be given to civil unions to remove the religious aspect from it.

Yes, everyone should have the right to be able to marry whomever they want and to get married wherever they want!!

Marriage is, and always has been, based on religion and as such should be under the control of the religious houses. If you're not religious then enter into a civil partnership which by law needs to reflect the same rights and privilege as a marriage. This will allow the freedom of same sex marriages/partnerships and allow the churches the freedom to decide too.

I feel marriage is a form of slavery and gay people should not be oppressed the way heterosexuals are.

Based on social media may e higher .I had MySpace and beb could. What iv herd I'd b shocked as a 30 p!us woman ...need to rules

No, marriage is between a man and a woman and churches should have the right to refuse marrying same sex couples.

Yes, and remove religious loopholes to discriminate. If the loophole is to stay then remove their charitable status.

Remove marriage from the state. Marriage is a religious ceremony, make the legal element a civil union, let that be the only part of it that is governed by the state

No, between a man and a women. Use another word eg unioned if you must, just dont mess with language unnessesarily. Allow churches to refuse or else you dont have freedom of religion. If the state believe they are above God then the state are very blind and unfit to govorn.

No but any same sex couple in a civil partnership who pass all other conditions can adopt/foster children

This is only a matter of wording, the only difference between "marriage" and "civil-partnership" is "church" and "registrey office"

We are living in the 21st century, everyone should be allowed to married to any sexuality on the planet...BOTTOM LINE!!

Yes, marriage should be provided equally no matter the sexuality, provided the ones in question are consenting adults

No but it is a personal view, people should live their own lives as they wish but should not keep shoving their views at other people. Just live as you wish.

This is a very sensitive issue of legalisation of same sex marriage people should be allowed to do what they want it is there life.

YES! as a Lesbian all marriages should be allowed! how can you tell me who I should and shouldn't love and marry!

Yes, but I believe that if those people wish to get married that for the sake of respecting the views of those who are religious and those who wish to view their marriage as still being in some way sacred that there should be churches that do and churches that don't observe gay marriage. I think tolerance of the views of others is important even if we may disagree and see it as nothing but irrational bigotry. And equally I think they should be willing to accommodate the views of others.

Yes on the condition that laws are updated to support it. There are still loop holes and grey areas in the law when it comes to same sex relationships and if they aren't updated then its's allowed

Each to their own, I used to strongly oppose it but now I feel people should have the right to be with whoever they want Straight, Gay or Trans.

Yes and allow same sex couples to marry where they please without refusal based on their gender and/or sexual orientation.

A more nuanced answer again. My personal convictions would fall in one direction, but I don't think that 'morals' or 'ethics' can be regulated by any body or institution, religious, government or otherwise. Therefore, allow autonomy where this is concerned. In the past, certain parishes would decline to marry a divorcee. This wouldn't have been challenged in the same way. Allow the autonomy still, as there's always the option to move to a civil proceeding if desired.
