Agree

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

While the Liberal Party strongly supports same-sex marriage, they also respect religious freedom. The Civil Marriage Act, which they supported, includes provisions that protect religious institutions from being forced to perform same-sex marriages if it goes against their beliefs. This answer aligns with their stance on balancing marriage equality and religious freedom.

Disagree

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

While the Liberal Party has not explicitly advocated for removing the government from marriage, their support for the Civil Marriage Act in 2005 suggests that they believe in a government role in defining and regulating marriage, including the legalization of same-sex marriage.
