When the answer is yes, we’re against such laws, such as gay marriage laws (I’m going to catch hell just for using that term on here as an example), it’s not that we support it, we just look at it from the individual freedom standpoint, it doesn’t infringe on our rights or freedoms and doesn’t place a burden on society other than having to ignore it, so it’s something that Social/Religious Conservatives and Libertarians aren’t going to agree on.

Here you're wrong. Gay 'marriage' does infringe on others' rights, and marriage has a lot of legal and financial implications that obligate other people. Health insurance, for instance.

I don't care what gays call it; I don't care what private arrangements they want to make among themselves as to hospital visitation, inheritance, etc. I am opposed to being forced to recognize it as a valid marriage, and I am opposed to gay adoption because it does harm others, namely the children

But they are perfectly free to spit in the face of God, if that is their choice. If He allows, who are we to forbid it? Just don't call it marriage.

Tell me the right that gay marriage infringes on?

As for the other stated issues you have with it, that’s strictly a financial in the sense that married couples get tax breaks.

So no, it doesn’t infringe on your rights, you may think so because y9ou’re against it, that’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion, just not your own facts.
