What
is a "libertarian"?
The Libertarians,
with a capital "L", are a political party. But "libertarianism"
as a state of political mind has a long history in our country,
going back to the classical liberalism practiced by our Founding
Fathers.
While modern
leaders have divided society into a rhetorical "left"
and "right", most Americans (particularly the gay
community) continue to lead lifestyles of liberty.
Generally,
you are a libertarian if you favor personal freedoms over government
intervention, or to put it another way, if you favor the exercise
of free will over the use of force to obtain results. Check
out our "Issues" section
to find out specific ways this applies to the GLBTQ Community.

Contemporary
wisdom measures the polical spectrum on one dimension
from "Left" to "Right". But humans
are more complex, and our issues more nuanced.
The
Nolan
Chart attempts to measure our ideas about freedom
in two dimensions: "economic" and "social".
In
a hurry? Here is a condensed
version of the quiz.
