The problem is that libertarians are the only people who value freedom of association.
I guess that that is correct. The freedom of association has been ruled out of the American zeitgeist since 1964 and the Civil Rights Act.

The amendment we really need would be something like "Voluntary acts between consenting adults shall not be infringed."

Yes, that would cover all the bases, but could you see any of these statists passing this one? I love it, but I am just a loony crank at a keyboard, with little to no clout. I think a lot of people would love it too, but even though they may not be loony cranks at keyboards, they still have no clout. It is a sorry situation!

Yes, but we cannot do these things without the normies helping out. I, for one, would not like to impose anything on anybody, just as I don’t like being imposed upon. They will, sooner-or-later come around to it, after they have been mugged by the statist, collectivist mob. But that might be too late.
