Conservative libertarian is a contradiction in terms, a propaganda choice of words to create an illusion.
Famed libertarian Penn Jillette has come out against the law.
Reason magazine, the flagship libertarian publication has also come out against it.
Mostly because Penn HATES religion of all kind. He gets foam-at-the-mouth insane about it.
I believe people should be free to be what they are, as their conscience leads them. But don't give power to the government to compel me to believe what I know is not true.

...Addressing the balance over passing laws that protect religious freedom verses taking into account fears that these measures will allow businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians, Jillette said that hes personally conflicted.
I dont want to misrepresent myself as an expert, but there is more to gay sex than cake and flowers. These people are not being asked to engage in gay sex or even endorse gay sex, he said. Theyre being asked to sell flowers and cake to people.
He continued, Now, Im a libertarian and an atheist, so Im kind of fighting myself on this. I dont like the government involved in telling people what to do, and I certainly want people to have religious freedom.
That said, the magician noted his opposition to businesses refusing services to gays and lesbians.
We have to make sure we dont get too crazy in the hypotheticals. We are not talking about forcing people to engage in gay sex, he said. Its okay I suppose, although goofy to be against gays, but its not okay to be against people that simply want to use your services as a business.
