libertarians support gay marriage and open borders too
Are you talking about the Libertarian party, or libertarianism. Because they aren't necessarily the same thing. I consider myself a libertarian conservative, and I don't believe in either of those things (but I do know that many people who claim the mantle of libertarian do). I am probably more conservative than you on immigration, in that I believe in going to a system for immigration based on merit, and I am strongly in favor of enforcing immigration laws. On gay marriage, I am wholly against (although I think marriage is a religious institution, and the state shouldn't have any role at all). I consider both positions libertarian and conservative, and couldn't care less whether others agree with me.
One of the big problems is that the ongoing assault on religion and quasi-religious organizations has created a vacuum, and has destroyed any shared sense of ethics.

The goal of “gay marriage” is to destroy the institution of marriage. So your position is theirs on that issue
