***It’s an interesting mix. Part Libertarian, part party activist.***

A true libertarian position would be to take marriage out of the hands of the state. If marriage is a religious institution, which I believe it is, then let it be decided by religion. Personally I don’t believe the law should treat married people any differently than two people who live together, meaning no special incentives or penalties either way. A citizen is a citizen.

Besides, there’s nothing preventing two gays or two non religious people from making a commitment to one another.

So you believe that the right to representation should be used for what??? Do the People have a right to representation on issues like sexuality or not?

Yes, I agree. The libertarian position on this is probably the best one. No one should be forced to recognize a marriage. Boston values are not not Peducah values. Of course, all of this wouldn’t be such a big deal if the federal courts still respected the “rights” of the states
