    Generally okay with, but are they generally OK with legislation protecting those individuals/recognizing them as protected under the same laws that protect for factors of sex and race?

      Well, we think bigots should be allowed to come out as bigoted so we can cancel them. If they generally hide and still do it sneaky-like, a law wouldn’t stop them

      Yes, with the caveat that libertarianism is opposed to some of those laws for any group.

      For example, libertarianism strongly condemns murder, but does not support hate crime laws whereby the murderer’s motive becomes a separate crime provided it interacts with a protected class, such as murdering someone based on sex or race.

      Probably yes and no: yes insofar that they are for identical rights for everyone, no insofar that they are for identical rights for everyone.
