| Summary: | We ask to what extent opposition to same-sex marriage in South Korea is driven by Protestant identification and how this differs from Catholic and non-Christian views. Furthermore, is there a separate demographic, partisan or ideological influence beyond that captured by religious identity?

In addition, younger and female respondents were more supportive of legalization, while education did not have the same effect as in the broader LGBT literature.
