I think both are prefecly fine, and also none of my business.

I don't think they are perfectly fine, but I agree that its none of my business.

Interesting!  But I guess the last part of your statement is what's really important from a libertarian point of view.

Yes. The fact that I don't approve of something doesn't mean that I should have the right to prevent someone else from doing it, when it does me no harm. But gays need to understand that other people have a right to disapprove. They should not expect that the rest of society will welcome them with open arms.

David, I don't think they do want to be welcomed with open arms. They just want the same rights as everyone else. I don't see an issue personally.
As for polygamy, I don't see it as the same thing, although I think both should be legal.

I think we are basically in agreement, in that the law should not prohibit gay marriage. My point was that gays seem to me to be seeking approval by the rest of society. Perhaps thats just my perception. In any event the rest of society may regard gay marriage as a perversion, and its their right to feel that way.
