I’ve quite clearly defined my “libertarianism”. As I recall it elicited a derisive laugh followed by a non-sequitur.
How does this suit you? Every argument that you’ve made against homosexuals serving in the military, could equally be used by the left as an argument to exclude Catholics.
I deplore homosexuality as a sin against God and a crime against nature. However, I did serve honorably (and alongside some homos). Their homosexuality affected my service not one whit. They carried their weapons the same way I carried mine. Does this mean that two men can ever make a marriage? Hell no. The government has nothing to do with what marriage is. My issue with your brand of conservatism is that it grants government authority over matters that government can’t be trusted to handle.
So you did come out for homosexualizing the military, a left position, a libertarian position.
You are wrong about government and marriage, the people who founded this nation didn’t see it that way, and they did not want the Muslims, and later Mormons, dictating marriage law.
Of course, if you don’t care about legal marriage you didn’t have to marry legally, in fact, you still don’t, legal marriage is only for those who care about the government accepting their marriage, people like Jefferson and Washington.
Congress of course has been making laws regarding marriage since 1780, constitutionally I imagine, at least by the standards of 1780 and 1784, 1798, etc.
