The Cato Institute authored a viral Facebook post which received 2,502 likes and 1,041 shares: "Most of the country now supports gay marriage. Libertarians were there first...That’s no surprise, of course. Libertarians believe in individual rights for all people and equality before the law...Many Libertarians argue for the complete privatization of marriage...thus removing any need for state recognition of marriages. As long as marriage is licensed by government, however, same-sex couples are entitled to equal legal rights....Libertarians would like to get government out of most areas, but as long as government is involved, it must treat citizens equally."
