"The State" did not create marriage the state merely enforced the terms of what the people themselves had already created. Men and women were forming permanent marital associations long before there was a "State."

Homosexuality was recognized as perverted before the "State" ever came into being: for example, the American Indian knew them as distorted and made them dress as women and live outside the village. The early Romans made it a crime and when their morals collapsed accepted it.

Libertarianism is a weird quasi religious cult which when followed to its logical conclusion embraces-inter alia- cosmopolitanism and is against love of country. It is a variant of Marxism in that it elevates ownership of the means of production as an explanation and as a goal. The only material difference of libertarianism from Marxism being who shall hold title to property.

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

The protection of property rights is the fundamental bedrock of all institutions. To dismiss it, even by implication, bespeaks profound ignorance of the basis for civilized life.
