What a stupid question to ask a libertarian. And what a stupid need they have to need to be validated by government.
I am also Libertarian and I also believe government has no business in the marriage business.
But they are and gays should have the same rights as heterosexuals.
Every Libertarian I know believes that.
Right, you're a government loving libertarian. If your friends are really telling you they think that the way to reduce government power is to expand government power, they aren't any more libertarian then you are.
What SHOULD BE is not in play here, WHAT IT IS is what we work with.
Not your business what you believe their need should be.
OMG! You must have been shocked and horrified to find an ... opinion ... on a message board!
I'll give your request to keep my opinions to myself all due consideration.
Flush.
OK, done.
