LOL, you're as dumb as a post Dead Statist.

So advocacy of self government is now "statist"? Get a grip troll....

Any gay libertarian has to embrace the right of free association, which means private parties are entitled NOT to associate with them for any reason.

From a column by George F. Will:

The Boy Scouts' Unlikely Friends
By George F. Will

In this litigious republic, litigation often is politics carried on by other means, and like politics, litigation sometimes makes strange bedfellows, as in a case to be argued before the Supreme Court next month and decided by early summer. The question at issue is: Should New Jersey Boy Scout organizations be permitted to exclude gay men from being Scoutmasters?

New Jersey says this violates the state's anti-discrimination law. But the Scouts have acquired an unlikely ally, an organization of gays and lesbians which says the Scouts' policy is not right but the Scouts have a right to it.

Gays and Lesbians for Individual Liberty has filed a friend-of-the-court brief prepared by the Institute for Justice, a merry band of libertarian lawyers in Washington...
