We are the party of inclusion. It does not matter if you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, or Atheist. It does not matter if you are White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, or any other ethnic background. It does not matter if you are straight, gay, Male, Female, transgender, or even hermaphrodite. We are the party that honestly believes that we are all equal, and we should not be forced to submit to segregation of ideas. Since our founding, the Libertarian Party has championed the rights of ordinary people against unjust laws and law-enforcement methods. Our first presidential candidate, John Hospers, was an openly gay man when living a gay lifestyle was illegal in many parts of the country. We championed abolishing drug laws — which have been used to unjustly target the poor and minority groups — decades before states began to decriminalize marijuana. A free society is one where the laws are few, well-known, well-enforced, and limited to preventing the use of force or fraud by both the citizens and the government. This country has morphed into one where the laws are voluminous, impossible for anyone to fully know, and selectively enforced — often for political reasons. Democrats and Republicans are responsible for creating this system. Libertarians would like the opportunity to fix it.
