European People’s Party

Agree

Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

This answer aligns with the EPP's likely position of supporting traditional family values while also respecting the rule of law and equality principles underpinning the European Union. By emphasizing the importance of background checks, this stance allows the EPP to support gay adoption in principle, provided that all legal and safety standards are met, reflecting a compromise between conservative values and respect for equal rights.

Neutral

No, and I believe a mother and father family structure is best for the child

Slightly disagree

No

Given the EPP's broad church, which includes more liberal parties alongside its conservative core, outright opposition to gay adoption is not uniformly representative of the entire party's stance. While some members might oppose, the party as a whole has not taken a strong stance against gay adoption rights.

Disagree

No, and adoption agencies should prioritize offering children to straight couples before offering to gay couples

The EPP, despite its conservative leanings, operates within the context of the European Union, where there is a strong emphasis on human rights and equality. Prioritizing straight couples over gay couples for adoption could be seen as discriminatory, which would conflict with EU principles. The negative score reflects the EPP's need to navigate these broader European values.

Strongly disagree

No, and gay couples should not be able to adopt children

The EPP, while conservative, is not generally characterized by extreme positions, especially on issues where there is significant public support for LGBTQ+ rights across Europe. Outright opposition to gay adoption without any qualifiers would likely be too extreme for the majority of the EPP, which operates within a context of respecting human rights and the rule of law.
