The New Democratic Party (NDP) has a long history of supporting LGBTQ+ rights, including same-sex marriage. In 2005, the NDP played a crucial role in passing the Civil Marriage Act, which legalized same-sex marriage in Canada. The party has consistently advocated for equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation.

Agree

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

While the NDP supports same-sex marriage, they also respect religious freedom. They would likely agree with allowing churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies if it goes against their beliefs. However, this answer may not fully represent the NDP's strong commitment to marriage equality, so the score is not as high as for Answer 1.

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

Strongly disagree

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

The NDP has consistently supported full marriage equality, not just civil unions. While they may not be completely opposed to civil unions as an interim step, their ultimate goal has always been to achieve full marriage rights for same-sex couples. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this answer.
