What are your political views?

I'm one of the two people to pick right wing apparently. I'm a libertarian/conservative but definitely not of the Ayn Rand or Ron Paul variety, where they tend to be moderate on social issues I tend towards moderation on economic issues but am an absolutist when it comes to social issues. Why then pick right wing out of the choices (and not the slightly pedantic other.) Well libertarian on social issues does not mean left-wing on social issues at all. For example on the gay marriage issue, a socially left person wants the state to sanction both gay and straight marriage, where as a libertarian would not want the state to be involved at all. The left wing social sphere is where hate speech laws came from, very different from the libertarian social view. People who think that libertarians are socially left and economically right just don't understand the very different approach. I think it's far more acurate to say that libertarians are socially to the right wing, or at the least their own thing.
