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

The DUP strongly believes that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman. This belief is rooted in their conservative Christian values, and they have consistently opposed the legalization of same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland.

Agree

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

While the DUP has not explicitly supported civil unions as an alternative to same-sex marriage, they have shown some willingness to consider alternatives to marriage for same-sex couples. In 2012, DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson suggested that civil partnerships could be an acceptable alternative to same-sex marriage.

Slightly agree

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

The DUP has not explicitly advocated for taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision. However, their opposition to same-sex marriage is rooted in their conservative Christian beliefs, so they may be somewhat open to this idea.

Disagree

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

Although this answer allows for the legalization of same-sex marriage, the DUP has historically opposed any form of same-sex marriage, even with provisions for churches to refuse ceremonies. Their opposition to same-sex marriage is rooted in their conservative Christian beliefs, making it unlikely that they would support this option.
