"I am a libertarian.
I don't care if queers get married"

You must like paying more in taxes and subsidizing health care for an unhealthy lifestyle?

Queer marriage will give you both of those, regardless of how you feel about it morally.

It's evident from your comments that you do not know much about Libertarianism. Start by understanding that they are are usually avowed Constitutionalists!

It's probably true that welfare and subsidized health care are behind the current liberal enthusiasm for gay marriage. What libertarians want to do, however, is change our legal system to get government totally out of the marriage business. If marriage had no effect on inheritance, tax rates, welfare eligibility, or child custody, there would be no incentive for any pressure group to finagle the system for its own advantage. Marriage would be "owned" by churches, not by governments.
