Yes, good point, all laws violate "individual liberties." The question is more which laws are necessary. As a libertarian, my belief is that equality before the law for all is the cornerstone on which individual liberty rests.

Unfortunately, since criminal laws do exist by the Social Contract and common consent, the extent to which they apply to certain criminals that you have sympathy for creates a dilemma, doesn't it.

There are means to remedy that. Selective enforcement or special group dispensation aren't it.

Well said. There is no inequality, no discrimination in the law at all. They are free to marry and have morally-licit relations if they want to. There are only two sexes, not four or six or eight.
