A real libertarian (e.g not what America defines it as) would be for gay marriage.

Paul isn't a libertarian even by the American definition. But this thread is not about Paul, can we please not have it devolve into a discussion of him like every other damn thread?

Although I agree with a less extreme version of your argument, attacking your opponent doesn't convince them to agree with you. If you want to make someone pro-gay, Calmly state it in a non-threatening manner
