    I feel like anyone would be pissed off if some hack ‘journalists’ spilled the beans that you were gay while you were physically inside a country which murders homosexuals.

    • 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.
