So what goobermint entity owns your body ?
Stossel is taking a good libertarian principle to the extreme: government should not be allowed to discriminate.
Unfortunately, his suggestion violates another, which is that people should be free to associate with whomever they wish - and not associate with others.
If the poofters get to demand acceptance and approval, why not the bestiophiles, the necrophiles, the pedophiles and every other perversion ?
You won't find Him in ANY libertarian literature. Most people refer to Him as "God".

A good libertarian principle? I didn't know there were any. However, you forgot libertarian principle #1 in that phrase: "Unless harm is being done to another". Of course "harm" in a libertarian's mind must be seen, it can't involve the breakdown of the family and society through moral decay.

You're straying from the Libertarian Party line here; remember the "harm" rule.
Since the left has dealt the State of Arizona a temporary setback in today's immigration ruling, I think we should thank the Libertarian Party for their confused position on the topic. Per there annual Party Platform:
3.4 Free Trade and Migration We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders. However, we support control over the entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a credible threat to security, health or property.
Like anything a libertarian does, there always has to be some confusion involved.
No he isn't, that is the libertarian position. Libertarians like John Stossell and Noam Chomsky can agree on that basic libertarian principle.
Homosexuals: 1.3 Personal Relationships
"Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the rights of individuals by government, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships."
