I thought libertarians liked going directly to the people for the decisions in the form of referendum votes. In the case of gay marriage it was handily defeated by the people of my state.

That's cool. Gay marriage is a state issue, not a federal one.

I don't think that libertarians are particularly believers in pure democracy, which is as likely as any other form of government to foster totalitarianism.

They like that because it relieves them of the actual responsibility and accountability of governing. They would much rather whine and cry on the sidelines about how everybody else does it wrong.
