”The irony of Denton’s legal troubl—that they are the rult of a tanic clash between two wildly succsful, high-profile gay men—are not lost on him. “Thiel and I are both gay, but we have very different views on gay inty, ” Denton said. “I’ve long thought important that gay people be visible all walks of life—not jt tradnal profsns such as hairdrsg.
And I don’t believe an dividual’s zone of privacy extends to gay social life. If you’re out public wh your date, I don’t see why the l for gay public figur should be any different than those for straight people.
But there is also the gay angle: a difference between the more radil and nservative approach to gay rights. The radils phed for more transparency, for gay people to stand up and be unted.
‘ULTIMATE FIGHTER’ CONTTANT SAYS ‘GAY FOR PAY’ PAST WAS MISTAKE
“The nservativ, such as Peter Thiel, for a long time subscribed to the ia that gay rights are ‘special’ rights.
” Denton, who is obvly on the “radil” si of the argument, add: “I thk ’s awome that gay people no longer have to live acrdg to a sgle template. You n be a Tmp-supportg, immortaly-seekg, neo-reactnary venture palist—and also be gay.
