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

New Zealand First has shown a willingness to compromise on same-sex marriage by allowing religious institutions to opt out. This was evident in their support for the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Act 2013, which included provisions allowing churches to refuse to conduct same-sex marriages.

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

New Zealand First has shown support for civil unions in the past. In 2004, the majority of the party's MPs voted in favor of the Civil Union Act, which provided legal recognition for same-sex couples without calling it marriage.
