The thing about a libertarian president is that the majority of so-called "libertarians" are really just fiscally conservative republicans who are more concerned with the economy than gay marriage. But they're still socially conservative republicans who could give a **** about the whole "personal liberty" thing that should be the backbone of any real libertarian's political beliefs.
They might not be actively opposed to gay marriage, but they certainly don't particularly support it either, or legalization of marijuana, or any kind of civil rights, or even America's military escapades. They'll vote in anyone who isn't a liberal just like any other republican, and won't shed a single tear when those politicians denounce same-sex marriage.
TL;DR - Most libertarians are ****ing hypocrites and the movement is a joke.
