The law is now that a private company cannot choose to give to married couple insurance benfits without similarly giving the same benefits to sodomites.

You are correct. Rooty and all good libertarians believe that gay couples are the same thing as couples. You can't give benefits to one without giving benefits to the other. In their world, denying benefits to one is the same thing as denying benefits to black couples, or elderly couples who can't have kids.

It is not a libertarian position to force companies to not discriminate. That is a liberal position.

You are correct that a libertarian-owned company may have such a policy, but no libertarian government would force that policy onto private companies.
