PETER THIEL MAK HISTORY AT RNC: 'I'M PROUD TO BE GAY'

But is he gay? But the notn that this ma someone "homosexual" or "gay" was a relatively recent phenomenon human history.

PETER THIEL IS TOTALLY GAY, PEOPLE

Prr to that, sexual activi between people of the same genr were often nsired sful or crimal, but they rarely nstuted what some the medil muny began to fe at end of the 1800s as a "third sex" or "tersex" or even "homosexual. " The creatn of the tegory of sexual orientatn not only classified homosexual sex but also led to the ventn of the Uned Stat and many parts of Europe, the velopment of the tegori led to the broar cultural unrstandg that the sexual acts created unrstandg that sex had the power to fe inty led to the martn of homosexual and heterosexual people -- as well as the subsequent stigma that those who were marked as homosexual were aberrant, crimally viant, and socially the people who began to be intified as homosexual started to disagree wh the assertns and found promise this alternative inty.

While the neighborhoods thrived, many people who were attracted to people of the same sex ntued to fear the repercsns of beg marked as homosexual. Many LGBT people started refg to accept the fn of homosexualy as an inty that meant ferr, aberrant, crimal, and, most of all, unequal. When the people the rt stood up agast the police, they embraced a fn of homosexualy that regnized that people who had sex wh people of the same genr had a distct culture, inty, and history that nnected them to 1920s Berl and the 1970s to the prent, many people who me out of the closet as gay unrstood their inty as part of a subculture and a specific muny.

They may not have known the exact history of how this sexual classifitn emerged or even unrstood s cultural vernacular, but they had a very clear regnn that beg gay meant more than jt havg sex wh someone of the same genr.

They embraced the unrstandg that their sexual proclivi have fed their the 1970s, when this velopment emerged, gay people began the exhstive, tirels task of creatg a culture to substantiate their inty. LGBT people lnched their own newspapers, anized polil ralli, and created neighborhoods which to socialize and Toronto, gay people began The Body Polic, which was a newspaper that reached rears across North Ameri and throughout the word, solidifyg a global gay inty. The Body Polic reported on lol, natnal, and ternatnal news that affected gay people, and also featured a huge cultural ponent: There were reviews of recently published books by gay thors, articl about gay films and documentari, and a special sectn tled "In Our Image" voted to historil exploratns of gay artists, micians, and thkers.

The Body Polic and many other gay publitns found durg the 1970s illtrated how beg gay was not jt about sex but a cultural inty.

LGBT people had created var forms -- newspapers, plays, bookstor, church, tellectual societi -- that articulated the meang of a distct gay the ia of beg gay as a distct cultural inty is now unr new brgs to Peter Thiel. At the nventn Cleveland July, Thiel was the first person the history of the party to clare his homosexualy on stage to an dience of people who have historilly opposed same-sex marriage, among other LGBT Republins and media portrayed Thiel's statement as progrs: The party had embraced an out gay man, and the nventn had reflected the diverse iologil inti of LGBT Amerins.

But his statement also challenged that 1970s notn of a gay the logic of gay liberatn, Thiel is an example of a man who has sex wh other men, but not a gay man. " Thiel also endorsed a polil platform and party that clus the vice-printial nomee who has voted aganst hate-crime laws, opposed HIV fundg, and supported a law allowg bs to ny servic to people who intify as this way, Thiel reaffirmed his own sexual choic -- while separatg himself om gay inty.

Sce the end of the '70s, many gay people have not vted the creatn of a cultural inty to the extent that their forbears did. Part of the succs of gay liberatn meant that they no longer need to do this kd of cultural there are real human nsequenc to this retreat. In the recent aftermath of the Orlando massacre, the media began to claim Omar Mateen, the terrorist who killed 49 people and wound 53 others at the Pulse nightclub that cy, was also gay.

"Gay" do not simply mean sex wh another man or even tert another man physilly, as Mateen's se, but rather "gay, " as fed by the liberatn movement, meant an open claratn of acceptance wh a muny of people who unrstood that their sexual orientatn ma them a part of distct culture. Further, intifyg Mateen as gay plays to an early-20th-century fn of homosexualy as crimally viant.

The unspoken subtext this assertn is that gay people are aberrant and their sexual orientatn driv them to m such horrific power of the gay liberatn movement of the 1970s was to shatter prev negative nnotatns associated wh homosexualy and to imbue a new meang of the term "gay, " revealg how sexual inty translated to a specific muny of people who were part of a distct history of the 1970s was not jt about polil mpaigns for equaly but was also a subtle more profound movement to refashn the term gay.

This do not mean that LGBT culture is homogeno or that all LGBT people have the same iologil viewpots or valu, but do mean that they all unrstand, on some level, the notn of gay gay liberatn movement has left a powerful legacy, and protectg that legacy requir unrstandg the meang of the term "gay" and not g simply as a synonym for same-sex sire and DOWNS is the thor of Stand By Me: The Fotten History of Gay Liberatn (Basic, 2016).
