This is old, but...

do know that some schools are treating homosexuality as a lifestyle no different than heterosexuals, and that they should have the same considerations. Where do "many libertarians" stand on that?

That government-run schools will always have this kind of problem, so long as the nation is made up of people with extremely diverse views on the subject.

Problem?

I was under the impression that libertarians believed the homosexual lifestyle should be treated no differently than a heterosexual lifestyle. Certainly the Libertarian Party believes that:

"We believe that adults have the right to private choice in consensual sexual activity.

We oppose any government attempt to dictate, prohibit, control, or encourage any private lifestyle, living arrangement or contractual relationship.

We support repeal of existing laws and policies which are intended to condemn, affirm, encourage, or deny sexual lifestyles or any set of attitudes about such lifestyles."

So, that brings us back to the original point in post #8. Libertarians may be opposed to the "active promotion" of the homosexual lifestyle by the government, but they don't object to it being promoted as an acceptable alternative lifestyle. Correct?
