Peter Thiel, Silicon Valley billionaire, said at the Trump convention "I'm proud to be gay. I'm proud to be a Reputlican. I'm proud to be an American". What is wrong with him?

Do you really really want to know the answer to this Rosie ???

Hello Rosie:

During the holocaust, there were Jews helping the Nazis MURDER other Jews..  I have no idea why people join forces with their enemy, but they do.. 

excon

He's just so proud...haha

I can't process that info my friend. I just can't.  I expect the same is true of my people. I expect there were some Armenians who collaborated with the Turks to murder my people too. But I don't understand how that can be. Thank you for your reply excon and Happy Friday to thee! :)

Why do you think I asked it Adam?

It just makes no sense to me Baba. Proud of what exactly? Being a shill for a party that is anti-him? Seriously? I don't get it! Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday! :)

Please watch the following video then..

Because Peter Thiel is rich enough and lives in a progressive enough period that anti-LGBT legislation is unlikely to seriously impact his life. And he is selfish enough (as most Five-Time Losers...er, Objectivists/Libertarians are) to not give a f**k what the GOP Hate Teh Gayz contingent does to anyone else, so long as they keep his personal taxes low.

@AAPAD -- So, you're saying Peter Thiel is an arrogant hateful bigoted a**hole like Milo Yiannopoulous?

OK, thanks for making that clear...;-D...

I think he is Michelle Bachmann's Husband's lover.  I bet.  Let's spread it around for fun.  They don't mind. It's the Republicans. They lie about everything. 

He probably isn't even gay.  He probably is lying.   He may not even BE gay.  But I KNOW Michelle's husband is.

Michael T is a rich elitist prostitute/sell-out. What else could he be called if this is his stance, PRO-TRUMP?    What can he care about anyone else?   He is not affected in the least. 

  

lol I love Milo <3

ex, it is called traitor/cowards. 

And speaking of arrogant hateful bigoted sphincters, Milo's cheering section showed up....;-D...

@Al - I don't deny he's entertaining to the arrogant hateful sphincter crowd.

As for making sense, well, that's just your Dunning-Kruger impedimenttalking....;-D...

I see. No OS I don't see. It still makes absolutely no sense to me. How anyone can be  proud of being part of a group that is anti-him and everyone like him just does not compute.  It never will no matter how hard I try to comprehend it. Obviously I lack something intellectually  that Peter Thiel and his ilk have. Mahalo for your reply and Happy Saturday!  :)

I just don't have the right stuff Sharonna. I am intellectually limited apparently. I will never understand how anyone can proudly assert his devotion to and pride in being part of a group that is Anti-him and those like him. Assuming he is telling the truth which I admit is a rather large assumption considering the source. Thank you for your reply and the graphic and Happy Saturday!  :)

As long as he is a billionaire, it dont much matter what else he is: gay/straight/corkscrew

I guess Trump have told him that he will listen to the Log Cabin Republicans

Corkscrew? I love it JakobA. That is very funny m'dear. Thank you for your reply and  Happy Saturday. The good part is what you said is very funny.  That bad part is  it's very true. Not your fault.  :(

Imagine that: a person who thinks differently than YOU believe he should. The audacity!

Al, what would you have helped the Nazis with, English grammar, or proofreading and editing?

Because Thiel will almost never be PERSONALLY affected by GOP bigotry. He lives in California, where discrimination against LGBT people is the lowest in the nation. He's rich, so he can buy his way out of any issue that's likely to come up. He's smart enough to know that while the GOP will wail and gnash teeth about Guns, God, Gays, and Abortion, they mostly don't do anything about it. Gun laws have changed minimally, separation of Church and State is the rule not the exception, gay marriage is legal and most state anti-gay laws will eventually get struck down, and Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land.

Hence, Thiel's rejection of the GOP because of its anti-gay contingent would be an almost entirely symbolic gesture. Meanwhile, Thiel is in favor of the low taxation/low regulation policies of the GOP.

What real motivation (other than solidarity with LGBT people who, unlike Thiel, are not rich, influential, and immune from most bigotry) does Thiel have to repudiate the GOP?

What he and Trump share is their disdain for the press. They don't like anyone minding their business. They sue anybody that does. Trump wants to change the First Amendment on the freedom of speech.
