    I don’t have the context to process this, but I’m very much for civil rights as a minimum standard. Thiel should be banished to a small island off the shores of Antarctica, but not because he’s gay.

      The first time I heard about the guy it was because some online journalists for a tabloidish publication posted a story exposing him as being gay while he was in Saudi Arabia for some meetings.

        That’s pretty crappy, yeah. If it makes you feel better, he’s capitalist first and gay second. He’s funded various anti-LGBTQ politicians and supports things like Praxis that are working toward a new kind of plutocracy/feudalism.

        We’d probably be in a better timeline if Thiel hadn’t survived his trips to Saudi Arabia, then. The man’s a real scumbag.
