That sounds libertarian, and I consider myself a libertarian. It is important to distinguish two very different issues, both important. The first issue is whether culture should clearly articulate its "way of life", including gender roles and sexual mores. The second issue is whether the coercive power of the State should be used to enforce such rules.

My views are conservative and my methods are libertarian. I want to be allowed to speak my views so that they are available to anyone who would hear and consider them. But I don't want my views, or the views of my opposition, to be enforced by government. IOW, I want "informed choice", where "informed" comes from a vigorous civic conversation in which all views are heard and considered.

Sort:  

Agreed, gov shouldn't enforce religion, culture, these things, as they do in the Middle East for example.

I wouldn't go quite that far. People should be empowered with choice. Those who want to live in a theocracy should be able to do so.

Interesting.
