Around when gay marriage was a hot topic. The libertarian philosophy as I followed it at the time was that basically everything was okay so long as it's consensual and doesn't harm anyone or anything, so the gay lifestyle was acceptable but the idea of altering language, law and tradition was harmful to religious institutions and therefore unacceptable. My logic, which was, to me, libertarian logic; was that the gays shouldn't bother with radically changing a religious institution that they rejected and that rejects them. This was around when Obummer said *"marriage is between a man and a woman"* to get elected and then he did the opposite.
Idk, it was around that time that I saw politics as more nuanced and realized that my perspective is just one of many perspectives rather than a comprehensive worldview. Things presented as obvious began appearing false, and it made me reevaluate all my political positions. I wasn't based yet, and wasn't gonna be for a while, but breaking free from libertarianism so early in life helped kickstart that journey.
