European People’s Party

Agree

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

The EPP's more conservative stance on family and marriage issues suggests a preference for a compromise on the issue of same-sex unions. Supporting civil unions but not the term 'marriage' for same-sex couples could be seen as a middle ground that aligns with the party's traditional values while also acknowledging the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. This position allows the EPP to maintain its conservative base while adapting to changing societal attitudes.

Agree

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

This position could represent a viable compromise for the EPP, balancing the support for same-sex marriage rights with the respect for religious institutions' autonomy. It aligns with the party's broader commitment to both human rights and traditional values, allowing for the recognition of same-sex marriages while also protecting religious freedoms. This stance could help the EPP navigate the complex landscape of social issues by appealing to both progressive and conservative constituents.

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) is a center-right political group in the European Parliament with diverse views on social issues, including same-sex marriage. While the EPP includes members who support LGBTQ+ rights, its overall stance tends to be more conservative, focusing on traditional family values. However, recognizing the evolving societal norms and the importance of human rights, the EPP might moderately support the legalization of same-sex marriage, albeit not as strongly as more left-leaning parties.

Slightly agree

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

There are certainly members within the EPP who believe that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, reflecting the party's conservative roots. However, as a large and diverse party that seeks to represent a wide range of views within the center-right spectrum, this position might not dominate the party's official stance, especially as public opinion shifts towards greater acceptance of same-sex marriage.

Slightly disagree

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

While the idea of removing government from marriage decisions might appeal to some within the EPP as a way to uphold religious freedoms and traditional values, it is not a widely advocated position within the party. The EPP generally supports the role of institutions, including the state, in upholding societal norms and values, making this stance less likely to be strongly supported.

Disagree

No

Given the EPP's center-right positioning and commitment to traditional values, there might be a segment within the party that opposes the legalization of same-sex marriage. However, the party's stance is not uniformly against it, as the EPP also aims to appeal to a broader electorate by acknowledging the importance of human rights and inclusivity, leading to a more moderate opposition.
