It surprises me that so few people mention this point, especially among "libertarians." Under our present laws, any pair (or group) of people can live together, own property together, and designate one another as heirs or attorneys-in-fact. They can have a wedding ceremony performed by a variety of celebrants, religious and non-, if they choose, or simply draw themselves a certificate.
There is no liberty interest in the homosexual "marriage" movement. It is an authoritarian position, dedicated to using the police power of the state to force others to act against their moral or pragmatic beliefs about certain kinds of behavior.

Exactly.
There is no liberty interest in the homosexual "marriage" movement.
I heartily agree with all of the above.
It is an authoritarian position, dedicated to using the police power of the state to force others to act against their moral or pragmatic beliefs about certain kinds of behavior.
Who exactly is forced to act how exactly?
Well said. Philosophically that should be the libertarian position but the Libertarian party rarely lets that get in their way of furthering "freedom" without consequence.
