That said, it's obvious how I stand on gay issues: your life is yours to live your way. Period. I believe that we should all be treated equally under the law, meaning no special favors for any group, nor any special handicaps for any one group. I would oppose any law granting special protections or quotas for gays, women, minorities, businesses, or politicians, and I would oppose any law that denied anyone full enjoyment of all rights and privileges. All must be equal in the eyes of the law.

Nor is it any of the government's business whether a company should offer benefits to same-sex couples. This is an issue for each company to address on their own. As a Libertarian, I will not dictate to anyone how to run their business or their private lives, so long as they do not harm or defraud others. If a company wants to offer such benefits, fine. If not, then they don't. In my company, I offer no medical insurance at all. Instead, I pay people more than the average wage and allow them to buy insurance themselves, which turns out to be cheaper than I as a company could buy it.

Government should not interfere in any private affairs. It's none of the government's business what goes on between consenting adults. The best way to insure that private affairs remain private is to vote Libertarian.
