As a Libertarian...


...I support gay marriage, trans rights and a woman's right to have an abortion.

There are also rights that I approve and support that many 'left-wingers' would have an issue with, but in the interests of consistency one cannot possibly be a true lover of freedom and liberty without supporting the things I listed above.

Individual liberty should be respected and cherished, as opposed to lifestyles and ideas that a community, state or nation impose on others (for instance, I am *against* statues in public places commemorating Confederates, because those public spaces belong to everyone however, I feel uneasy about forcing a privately-owned establishment to remove Confederate flags or racist memorabilia, like 'gollywogs', as much as those artifacts offend me, because, as I say, I support *individual* liberty, and individuals have a choice not to enter that establishment, just as a white person has a choice not to enter an establishment representing BLM).

Abortion is not a right. It's an infringement upon another life, and a taking of it.

What rights do transpeople not have?

It's only the Church that believes it's a life upon conception, and why should the fucking Church dictate how the rest of us, who aren't religious or don't subscribe to everything dictated by Christian dogma, hook-line-and-sinker, live?

They want to legislate morality with god's law as law of the land. Vice News has a piece on it.
