The libertarian argument is in favor of gay equality. Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws

Completely false.

Not completely false. From the Libertarian party platform pro-gay marriage:
1.3 Personal Relationships Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government's treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. http://www.lp.org/platform

I understand.

I suppose, however I wouldn’t be much of a Libertarian if I accepted some “Libertarian” platform.

Then what should be done with them? I mean the f*gs. I’m willing to pay to keep them out of the rest stops, parks, restrooms at Sears, and so forth, but I’m not really comfortable with the government having the power to prosecute people for their consensual sexual practices behind closed doors. It just seems like that kind of power could fall into the wrong hands at some point, or be otherwise abused.

Keep in mind that Libertarian Party speaks for libertarians like Republican Party speaks for conservatives. Citing party platform is meaningless.
