1 - do you support the right for gay couples to legally marry?
Absolutely! I can't imagine that this is really still a question.
2 - do you support the death penalty?
Yes, but not in its current form. There are some people who cannot be 'reformed' and need to be edited out of the population.
3 - do you believe that freedom of speech should be absolute, or are their some limits on what people should be allowed to say?
Freedom with limits on injury to other parties. Notice I say injury, not offense.
4 - do you believe that part of the role of taxation is to redistribute resources more equally?
Not so simply, but yes. And the people who say no to this, I'll go ahead and call bullshit. They just don't like some definition of what is in the common interest of the country.
5 - do you believe that people should be forced to learn the official language of a nation if they want to emigrate to it?
Encouraged, assisted, yes. Enforced, not really. But nor should people of that nation be made to feel that the new arrivals can speak whatever language they please and it is all in the name of diversity and should be accepted.
6 - do you believe that prayer should be prohibited from schools?
Absolutely! Pray in your home or your church. Schools are for education. Religion is indoctrination and inimical to education. As the saying goes, 'Don't pray in my school, and I won't think in your church.'
