Um, the question you posed was:

I would like to have some libertarian explain to me any aspect of social conservatism that is anti-liberty.

I'll quote Wikipedia:

Liberty is the concept of ideological and political philosophy that identifies the condition to which an individual has the right to behave according to one's own personal responsibility and free will.

"Anti-liberty," therefore, would be the antithesis of the above.

Many social conservatives would dance in the streets on the day when homosexuality was re-criminalized, thereby denying, by law, homosexuals the right to behave according to their own personal responsibility and free will. Ergo, you have your one aspect of social conservatism that is anti-liberty.

You tossed up the softball, Einstein. Don't blame me because you didn't quite think that brilliant line of argument through.

So now you are claiming to be the spokesperson for social conservatives? You obviously are not even a conservative. There has been no conservative movement to lock up homosexuals at all and it proves you to either be a moron or someone here wanting to smear conservatives to claim otherwise. Liberty does not give you the right to force others to accept your behavior. It is your position and the rest of the progressive gay activists that is anti-liberty. There is nothing at all anti-liberty about the conservative position.

It is also very telling that you equate liberty to homosexual behavior. Keep pushing your pro-homosexual agenda here though and you will not last long.
