Honest question OWK...do I and people like me have a right to secede from a society that condones homosexual behavior and form our own society?

You have the right to join with others who believe as you do, buy common property, and prohibit homosexuals to access that property, or to engage in commerce with your like-minded compatriots.

What you do NOT have the right to do, is restrict their otherwise peaceful behavior in THEIR homes, businesses, and associations, by force.

I can't make it any clearer than that.

But what if I want to form my own society? What if I don't want to be affected by people who engage in anti-social behaviors whatsoever? You see, as hard as you try, I'm still going to have to pick up the costs for anti-social behaviors in some way. As long as I'm sharing a society with perverts, they're going to affect me in some way. We'll vote in the same elections, pay the same taxes, and so on. It's impossible not to be affected by people you share a society with.

Let's say I want to form my own society with other social conservatives. Let's call it Bluenoseprudeland. And then you libertarians and all your drug-addled, pervert friends can form your own society, Transvestitistan. That way, we can both be happy and live around people we like.

Don't I have a 'right' to live the way I wish, around the people I wish to live around? Isn't this the essence of libertarianism?
