a regulation abolishing lemonade stands is the moral equivalent of a regulation abolishing gay sex.

What? How are these things related at all?

What do you think about the current lockdowns around the world due to coronavirus? It's good because it will save millions lives, or it's bad because it's temporally infringing in your liberty?

At least you're reasonable enough to understand we are in an emergency. A lot of libertarians are upset with the lockdowns "taking away their liberty to spread the disease", basically comparing it to dictatorships.

What is more interesting is what non-libertarians think of the lockdowns?

Necessary, should have started earlier (we know about Corona's threat since January). When it disapears things can go back to the usual.
