Strongly agree

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

The Labour Party has shown support for allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies. The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, which they supported, includes provisions that protect religious institutions from being forced to conduct same-sex marriages if it goes against their beliefs. This demonstrates their agreement with allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies while still supporting marriage equality.

Disagree

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

The Labour Party has not advocated for taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision. They have supported government involvement in marriage, as seen with their support for the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act in 2013. However, they have also supported religious institutions' rights to refuse same-sex ceremonies, so their disagreement with this answer may not be as strong as with other options.

Strongly disagree

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

The Labour Party has shown a preference for full marriage equality rather than civil unions. While they did support the introduction of civil partnerships in 2004, they later pushed for full marriage equality with the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act in 2013. This indicates that they would disagree with only allowing civil unions and not calling it marriage.
