Fred, I'm unaware of this being a litmus test for being a libertarian.

Here's a libertarian idea for you... how about the government gets the
hell out of legislating anything with regards to human relationships
altogether? How about I'm against same sex marriage, opposite sex
marriage, marriage to toasters, marriages to animals, or any marriage
whatsoever. Wouldn't that be consistent with a libertarian approach?

Let people do what they want with whom they want, blessed by religion
or not. Let whoever wants to set up a business to celebrate people's
commitment to each other, and let the free market reign. Give people
freedom. Give insurance companies freedom to insure who they want how
they want. Insurance companies that want to extend benefits to
"family" members however people want to define that may find more
customers.

Oh, and get rid of all laws relating to this. If someone wants
somebody else covered under their insurance or whatever, let them work
that out with the insurance company. If people want to separate their
lives, let a judge decide if they have lived as a couple, or just as
room mates, and divide assets and children and whatnot independent of
laws defining marriage. I think it's silly that having a 5 minute
ceremony means the difference between people having rights on each
other's property or not. Ridiculous.

Are you now going to say that I'm not a libertarian because I don't
support same sex marriage? Really?
