[b]Just about, yes. As long as those aforementioned were not doing harm to people
and/or their property. But obviously, the laws you refer to would have to be examined on a separate ba ...[text shortened]... t should not be involved with marriage at all. Marriage is a ceremony
determined by societal norms.

I felt I was getting a handle on this libertarian thing until this “societal norms”
If the government is not involved who is going to decide what these ‘societal norms’ are.
In order to establish a libertarian system how many consultations and referenda would be required to establish what the “societal norms” are.

My view here, Kev, is not necessarily the *official* view of the Libertarian party.

Marriage is a civil ceremony (or WAS) and it is most times purveyed by the clergy, not the federal government (US)

Societal norms are determined by how a society behaves of its own volition, not because of LAWS.
For example, there is no law saying that girls have long hair and boys have short, it is simply how people choose to do it.

Same here. If people wish to recognize gay marriage, they can - or not. It should never be government FORCING us to.

But these are draconian socialist times we enter.
