It is one thing to try to convince people that the government should allow gay marriage, it is quite another to convince people that homosexuality isn't immoral.
It is fairly easy to make a libertarian case for marijuana legalization or gay marriage (it's victimless, we shouldn't legislate morality), it is much harder to convince people that gay marriage or marijuana (for example) are morally acceptable.
But of course this is only a convincing argument to those that are already fairly "live-and-let-live". Many think the that the government enforcing morality is perfectly justified.
