My Constitution says the states and the people decide anything not given to the federal government.
So why is Cato taking an anti-libertarian position?
Ya know, folks, I like Cato working with John Stossel and pushing the ideas of Milton Friedman...but when they team up with liberals to endorse judicial activism from judges, it just makes me sick.
I'll keep donating to the Heritage Foundation, and maybe the Acton Institute.
What is his stand on polygamists? Do they not have the same rights?
Not advocating for that, just trying to illustrate the ramifications of such reasoning.
Polyandy and Polyamorists, too, should be allowed to “marry” according to his logic. Also adult relatives.
What's wrong with a good old-fashioned marriage of one guy and 50 to 100 women?
The purpose of marriage is to encourage and promote safe home lives for kids. Nothing more. Since when to gay adults need that?
Ditto. Perhaps there is a reason that Washington insiders call it the Gayto Institute. I used to go to excellent lunchtime lectures, but it’s been at least fifteen years since I last went.
Looks like the gay mafia has taken over the CATO Institute.

Puke.
Unfortunately when they start using loaded lofty terms like “equality for everyone” they leave the realm of honest debate. Of course everyone is equal in this country and everyone has the same right to marry — period. What they don’t have is the right to make new rules for marriage.
I say they are discriminating against me in California for not allowing me to live in love and happiness with a 50 caliber BMG rifle of my choosing. How dare anyone define what love is for me? I have a right to drive like every other adult, so why won’t they let me drive the way I love, in reverse on sidewalks at 80 mph?
If they want to make an argument for gay marriage they have every right to do so, but please spare us the specious “equality” argument.
Speaking as an ex-Lib who moved right THROUGH libertarianism I must remind you that libertarians are NOT conservatives. The are generally as likely to support leftoids as they are us.
The fellows at the Libertarian Party stink tank, the Cato Institute, are following Party lines ver batim.
Homosexuality, abortion, pornography, prostitution, recreational drugs, open borders, and "Free Trade", they got it all.
Their platform says it all, starting with their preamble: "As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others." Look at the attached link and see if God is mentioned anywhere in it. You'll then realize that their preamble should say "As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others, including God's."

You're wise to stick with the CONSERVATIVE Heritage Foundation and Acton Institute.
