In any other electn, the ia of an openly gay, avowed libertarian member of Silin Valley’s ele addrsg the Republin Natnal Conventn on the same night as the nomee would seem, well, unnventnal, to say the least. At this pot, however, ’s well unrstood that most thgs about this electn — and the speaker qutn, Peter Thiel — are jt, a -founr of PayPal, ma history Thursday night when he beme the first person to publicly announce to the GOP nventn that he is gay.
"I am proud to be gay. Thiel prumably had his own sre to settle; 2007 Gawker’s Valleywag blog published a piece tled, “Peter Thiel is totally gay, people” before he was publicly out. ”Gregory Angelo, print of the pro-LGBT Log Cab Republins, hoped Thiel would also acknowledge the historic nature of his prence as a gay man.

“Hot guys at a pool sounds like pretty idyllic gay activy to me, ” the stunt rpond, acrdg to screenshots of the nversatn obtaed by The Intercept. “Well, don’t stay idyllic too long, ” Thiel’s acunt said, “but always lots of fun, ” addg later, “Yeah, we know how to have some no holds barred gay fun. To paraphrase Jerry Sefeld, there’s nothg wrong wh no-holds-barred gay fun, and, ed, the abily of nsentg adults to engage whatever private, victimls behavr they choose is one measure of a jt society.

By now, you've likely heard how Peter Thiel parlayed a $500,000 vtment Facebook to a stake now worth $750 ln. There's been a csh of verage on his $220 ln Founrs Fund, which may well change the way entreprenrs get paid the Valley. We know about his mansn (he rents — clever!), his butler, his early-morng jogs.

PETER THIEL WIKI, BOYIEND, GAY, MARRIED, NET WORTH
Peter Thiel, the self proclaimed libertarian entreprenr, who found Paypal, is one of the wealthit and most powerful men the Silin Valley and the world. He also happens to be gay. His seemgly bottomls pacy for vdictive petty enmy and shamels assertn of power has shaped the way bs is nducted. "The blzslg strategy he and his employe pneered at PayPal created the growth playbook for an entire generatn of start-ups, om Airbnb to WeWork. His most legendary bet — loang $500,000 to a socially ept Harvard sophomore exchange for 10 percent of a webse lled — is signifint ls for the orrs-of-magnu enomic return he realized and more for the terms he embedd the al. Thiel ensured that Mark Zuckerberg would be the pany’s absolute dictator. No one, not even Facebook’s board of directors, uld ever overle him. Siar manvers were adopted at many of Thiel’s portfol pani, cludg Stripe and SpaceX, and today, across the dtry, ’s more the norm than the exceptn." * peter theil gay *

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.

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.
