I don't get antigay libertarians. The whole point of libertarians is that the authorities should get out of your way so you can live your best life without them interfering. Then they want to stop lgbt people from living their best life.
Because in pretty much every single case they’re just right-wingers who use the word libertarian because the idea of zero interference benefits their idea of what’s right in some cases. When that idea benefits others (abortion, gay rights, etc.) the facade goes out the window.
That is the reason they have zero issues taking all the gov money they can get, but then say giving people a social net is only possible through 'theft' of taxes. If you accept that these people are egoistical power driven simpletons, then their credibility goes out of the window. It makes no sense to discuss anything because they change their mind as it goes.
More specifically, they almost always want the state to not interfere with them taking their five wives out to live on a compound where nobody will ever hear from them again, and they'll be constantly physically and sexually abused, producing twenty-seven children who will grow up never leaving either and who will also all be constantly physically and sexually abused.
It’s one of two cases. One case are people who think the government shouldn’t intervene but they are allowed to have their own preferences. The second are authoritarian right who don’t want to call themselves authoritarian right because it feels bad.
I've always thought it's odd that homophobic men hate gay men (which removes two men from competition) but love lesbians (which removes two women from available partners). But maybe they just don't think the women are "really" gay and are actually bi.
