I believe in traditional marriage, but that isn’t an issue with this election. Also, obviously the president doesn’t legislate laws.

With that said, I was talking to a very conservative 21 year old the other day about politics and was surprised to hear he is voting Libertarian. Why? He stated it is because Trump is trying to end gay marriage and even though he isn’t gay, he believes it should be legal.

Coincidentally my son had a conversation with a twenty something year old girl yesterday that said the same thing. My guess is there is a misinformation campaign to push people that won’t vote for Biden to vote Libertarian.

Unfortunately, like democrats, Libertarians wear blinders and are so dogmatic in their beliefs that you can’t convince them otherwise. They will have an intelligent conversation, unlike democrats, but they feel voting their party makes them more intelligent than others, like democrats.

I’ve heard the same thing too. I was glad that people who are gay were able to get married. They’re consenting adults for god sake.

I don’t know anybody in real life today who really cares that two people can legally get married regardless of gender. I think we’re past that now.

ETA: based on the downvotes apparently not surprised a conservative board wants to get all up in peoples private lives like that.

Libertarian ideology sounds good until you get down in the weeds.

Trump supports gay marriage. I think he really does not care like most of us on the right.

Trump is more of a populist, so I don't think he would do that.. But that's also kind of a dumb. Voting libertarian is pretty much like throwing your vote in the trash.

BS

Trump was the FIRST POTUS in US history to be publicly pro gay marriage at the time of his election. Fact

Trump supported gay marriage 10 years before Hillary and Obama. This is BS.

Tell these assholes that POPTUS does no pass laws. Trump has absolutely NO history of attacking gays and their rights.

I used to be against gay marriage.. Now after growing up... love who you love ... I don’t care and I have no right to tell anyone how to live their life and who to love

Good for them to find someone else .

One of his justices added gay people to Title VII. These people are either stupid or ignoramouses. This isn’t a libertarian thing.

erroneous. his work to decriminalize homosexuality in other backwards countries was actually just modern day imperialism and made things worse for gays worldwide. because.

why? because a gay magazine told me so.
