computer parts posted:Ron Paul wasn't/isn't and he was the face of that movement for quite a while. You originally referred to marriage only and Ron Paul largely fell in line with the LP position on marriage being a private contract. If you'd specified other stuff like bakers not being allowed to discriminate against gays, that'd be something else.

computer parts posted:Ron Paul has demonstrated that he has many conservative Christian policies (such as trying to define life as beginning at conception). It's not a leap to conclude that he feels similarly about other topics, such as gays. That... has nothing to do with whether replacing everyone's marriage licenses with civil union licenses and banning the government from using the word "marriage" is anti-gay though? You're focusing in on his reasons and you're probably correct in that. But there are other reasons people have fielded for getting government out of marriage, are they secretly anti-gay as well?

So do I secretly find gays icky because I think using the word "marriage" instead of "civil union" violates separation of church and state?

rebel1608 posted:I never denied this could happen. Yeah I'm kinda lost too. He mentioned Ron Paul as a transformative sort of figure, but I don't recall Paul making marriages/civil unions one of his big causes.
