"Libertarians may be opposed to the "active promotion" of the homosexual lifestyle by the government, but they don't object to it being promoted as an acceptable alternative lifestyle. Correct?"

Please clarify the difference between "'active promotion' of the homosexual lifestyle" and "promoted as an acceptable alternative lifestyle."

I'm not a member of the Libertarian party. My views could be characterized as libertarian, though such labels are always inadequate. My stance on homosexual lifestyle is indifference. I don't care about how other people live their lives, so long as they do not violate the rights of others. I don't care about homosexuality, polygamy, shacking up, traditional marriage, or whatever lifestyles I may have omitted, so long as those lifestyles are between consenting adults. Why do people care about how other people live their lives? I think that we should stop recognizing marriages altogether. The stance that I think our government should have on this issue is, "if you want to get married, go to your church/synagogue/mosque/etc. Don't go to city hall - it is not the government's business."

I tried to clarify my interpretation in post #14. "Active promotion" being a preferred lifestyle. "Promoted as an acceptable alternative" as being equal to a heterosexual lifestyle.

I thought the schools were doing the latter rather than the former.
