Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

Churches have yet to be forced to marry anyone.
Even the Church of Sweden only began to marry same-sex couples after its own clergy allowed it.

So far, no one has proposed forcing any temple of any religion to marry same-sex couples, and since even the most radical left-wingers do appreciate religious liberty and the separation of Church and State, I doubt you'll ever actually see a movement to do such a thing.
