But if said libertarian is truly true, he or she would have to accept incest - intimate relations between a brother and his sister, for example, or a father and his adult daughter - as well as polygamous and polyandrous (multi-husband) arrangements, and bestiality (which has its advocates, like Princeton Professor Peter Singer) no less than homosexual relations.

Haa!

So far I have seen no "civil libertarian" who would admit to this.

Constitutional liberatrians have no need to 'accept' such bad logic.
I can personally deplore all these disgusting sexual 'sins'.. And still realise that our constitution does not allow the criminalization of such consensual private behavior, by any level of government.
We are not to be deprived of a private life, liberty under the rule of law, or the possession of private proprerty, without due process of law.
Such moral prohibitions are not due process, they are 'sin decrees' made by majority will.
This is still a free republic, not a democratic tyranny.
