Libertarians - socially liberal?

Conservatives will deride libertarians for what they call their "socially liberal" stances; sometimes they even go as far as saying that libertarians are libertines or that they support "liberal" behavior. I interpret "socially liberal" to describe a set of views that support state force in protecting certain behavior - an example might be the view that employers should not be allowed to discriminate in hiring practices against smokers. Libertarians might not approve of an employers decision to do this, but they more so oppose the state prohibiting employers from this action.

Libertarians merely don't believe that the state has legitimate authority to prevent people from engaging in non-coercive, voluntary behavior (such as labor contracts, in which both the employer and the employee have to agree). There is behavior that I find irrational and destructive to individuals, such as gambling or abusing drugs.

I think "socially tolerant" is a much better word. Tolerant, at least to the extent that we don't want the government interfering with non-coercive, non-fraudulent behavior. Some libertarians are tolerant, accepting, or embracing of different behavior; and other libertarians disdain different behavior - they might consider themselves "socially conservative on the individual level". But all libertarians oppose the use of state coercion to prohibit peaceful activity.
