Very strongly agree

Yes

Sinn Féin has consistently supported the legalization of same-sex marriage. In 2015, they campaigned for a 'Yes' vote in the Irish marriage equality referendum, which led to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the Republic of Ireland. They have also advocated for marriage equality in Northern Ireland, which was legalized in 2020.

Agree

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

While Sinn Féin has not explicitly stated this position, they have shown respect for religious institutions and their beliefs. They might agree with allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies, as long as same-sex couples have the legal right to marry and can find other venues to hold their ceremonies.

Disagree

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

Sinn Féin has not specifically advocated for taking the government out of marriage decisions. However, they have focused on achieving marriage equality through legal means, which implies that they believe the government has a role to play in ensuring equal rights for all citizens, including same-sex couples.
