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.
Right. I think true libertarians should not vote. Like the anarcho-capitalist and vegan philosopher Michael Huemer said, in most elections it's impossible to be an informed voter, and being an uninformed voter is positively immoral. Uninformed voting is as if some tourist asked you where some restaurant is, and you, instead of admitting you don't know, make a guess and probably misdirect him.
