You're one of the few big-name libertarians who vocally supports equality before the law at the federal level; Rand Paul supports "traditional marriage", and Ron Paul thought it was okay for Texas to outlaw sodomy. Would you agree that there's a schism between socially tolerant libertarians who really want the government out of the bedroom at all levels of government and states'-rights libertarians who think it's okay to regulate people's personal lives as long as the federal government's not doing it, and if so how can that gap be bridged to create a more inclusive liberty movement?
Also, is this a hint of things to come?
Finally, thank you for running last year. I'm a high school junior, and seeing you stand up for liberty and the inclusion of third parties is part of what inspired me to decide that I want to get into politics and make a difference.

I would assume he's talking about the Fourteenth Amendment and the idea that everyone is guaranteed equality under the law, and marriage, being a contract recognized under the law, should not be legally denied to anyone on the basis of sexual orientation since gays and lesbians are citizens just like everyone else.
