Libertarians (at least small-l libertarians) want a GOVERNMENT that stays out of private matters, and specifically PERMITS individuals and companies to MAKE MORAL JUDGMENTS.

For example, the libertarian position is to support the right of a motel owner to refuse to rent to sodomites.

People confuddle government and private actors.

Nope. That is a CONSERVATIVE position. A lib would argue there is no need for a law for or against enforcing a motel owner to rent to sodomites.

In fact - if a state passes laws that require renting to sodomites - the lib places greater value on that law over his own personal convictions.
