and it's pretty hypocritical of thiel to be mad at gawker for outing him as gay due to his fear of repercussions since he now supports a candidate who would gladly keep the status quo in making homosexuality something you have to worry about being "leaked" to the public.
this is why there is outrage over thiel giving/supporting a candidate like trump. and further outrage against zuck and sam altman for advocating "diversity" while allowing thiel to support someone who is completely against that idea.
so no, it really shouldn't be that remarkable that people who support "diversity" would not support people who are against those ideals.
