Today, the Supreme Court case to decide whether taxpayer-subsidized institutions will discriminate against sexual and religious minorities began. Other small-l (not Libertarian Party) libertarian organizations have taken the wrong position on this issue, going so far as to file amicus briefs on behalf of the Christian group seeking to discriminate. We disagree. Using the force of government to tax people, and then using those tax dollars to discriminate against the same people who paid those taxes, is NOT a Libertarian value. |

What in the world is the Task Force thinking? "Queering the Census?" What if there had been a proposal to put "Are you a homosexual?" on the 1960, 1970, 1980, or even 1990 Censuses? Does anyone doubt that it would be the biggest protest in the history of LGBT activism?
[Jaime Grant] said officials have told her they are taking note of the campaign.
Yeah, that's precisely the problem. |

"This report presents evidence that in the November 2008 election the tabulation of the vote for California's Proposition 8, the ballot initiative repealing marriage equality, was probably corrupted."

Could it be that Federal Judges have started reading the Libertarian Party Platform? It seems that at least one has:
On Monday, District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker peppered lawyers with questions before they had made their cases. He stopped lawyer Ted Olson, arguing in favor of same-sex marriage, a couple of sentences into his presentation to ask if the state could simply get out of the marriage business altogether to avoid the question of discrimination.
"Yes, I believe it could," said Olson, who won President George Bush his presidency in 2000 in a case against Al Gore argued by David Boies -- now working with Olson on this case."

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case on college bias:
"The Christian Science Monitor reported the Christian Legal Society at the Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco was stripped of its registered student organization status at the college because it refused to allow gay and lesbian students to become voting members or officers."
Libertarians are clear about our opposition to government regulation of private business:
"The right to trade includes the right not to trade — for any reasons whatsoever."
But U.C. Hastings is not a private business. It is a taxpayer-funded state school, which means that it cannot engage in any discriminatory behavior against any taxpayer. By refusing to use taxpayer funds to support the discriminatory student group, the University made the correct decision, which the Supreme Court will hopefully uphold. |
