“Rand would have championed homosexual “marriage.”

I doubt that. Instead, I would wager that she would have championed removing the state endorsement of marriage in general.

"I doubt that. Instead, I would wager that she would have championed removing the state endorsement of marriage in general."

The quote to which you responded is typical of the sort of ignorance one encounters from Rand-bashers, most of whom have read little to nothing of her work and just pass along third-hand stuff various people have spewed at them.

Here's a pretty good summary of her views on homosexualtiy from Wikipedia. Note the bolded bit at the end. Does she sound like a Friend of Faggotry?

"In response to questions from the audience at the two Ford Hall Forum lectures she gave at Northeastern University, Rand explained her views in more detail. In her 1968 lecture, she said, 'I do not approve of such practices or regard them as necessarily moral, but it is improper for the law to interfere with a relationship between consenting adults.' In 1971, Rand reiterated this position, then added that homosexuality 'involves psychological flaws, corruptions, errors, or unfortunate premises', concluding that homosexuality 'is immoral, and more than that; if you want my really sincere opinion, it's disgusting.'"
