I must admit I do not understand your analogy. Libertarians are almost by definition pro-same-sex-marriage. Some libertarian politicians in the US, though, voted against the law that would legalize same-sex-marriage nation-wide on the grounds that they are against federalism (does not make a lot of sense to me, I think that this goes precisely the opposite of the idea of human rights: rights of the states are not human rights, they are rights of the governments, which, in my opinion, should not be protected), but that's not because they are against same-sex-marriage per se.
I read her post as a joke about how so many, maybe a majority, of self-proclaimed Libertarians in the US are actually closet Republicans who want to avoid revealing or defending the way they vote.
