My Political Views: Personal Relationships

The Libertarian platform is first, my viewpoint is in red.

1.3    Personal Relationships
Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the
government's treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption,
immigration or military service laws. Government does not have the authority to define, license or
restrict personal relationships. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices
and personal relationships.

I agree 100%.  All individuals have the right to get married.  Getting married is not a religious right.  If it were, then all marriages between atheists, all marriages performed by judges or other public officials, and all weddings performed outside of religious buildings would be null and void.  Marriage is a commitment that two people who vow to love each other under any circumstances enter into a contractual relationship.  Therefore, gay couples have the right to be married. Gay couples and individuals have the right to adopt and openly serve in the military, and so on.
