When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way.
Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.
I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that’s not fair!
I am still incredulous at the existence of Log Cabin (gay male) Republicans, or even Peter Thiel.
Why on earth would you give any support to an organization dedicated to the destruction of people like you?
Does your own hatred of minorities and the poor make you willing to risk joining forces with those who are likely to come after you next?
“Surely all those other people who tried to beat this carnival games were simple country rubes, whereas I have finally figured out the winning strategy that will surely allow me to beat this definitely not-rigged game!”
Exactly. It’s not exactly like the right-wing hide their distain for all people of the LGBT spectra.
It’s the classic “but I’m one of the good ones” trope. There’s no such thing, just tokens to be used and tossed away.
No matter how much you try to be a “good one”, you’ll never truly be accepted amongst those who hate your kin. Once you’ve outlived your usefulness, they’ll eat your face just like everyone else.
There were Jews in Germany who supported the Nazis.

Most of the members and their families were killed during the Holocaust.
Yes.
Exactly that.
Just yes, that is literally exactly how that works.
This is a very common theme in the production of leopard food.
Dumb idiot opportunistic greedy traitors, of one sort or another, who cannot comprehend that patriarchichal heteronormative white christian extremist men … are the primary base of their political power, and they demand subjegation of anyone who isn’t that.
Like, Ben Shapiro falls into this… he’s a Jew, he’s a Zionist, … Ramiswamy is Indian… everyone whose ever been called an Uncle Tom (or I guess the more modern version is Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks) … all the Trad Wives that within 5 years barely escape with their lives and sanity intact, or sometimes without those things…
Because Peter Thiel is a billionaire first and a gay man second. He knows that his wealth will insulate him from the consequences of his actions.
and he has money to prevent MSM from outing him completely, almost never hear him in the news, and he has paid to silence any criticism of him.
Republicans have no principles. Ask them in 2024 if they would support Biden going to war with Iran, and they would laugh in your face. But in a March 25 poll 79% of Republicans approved of Trump’s current actions.
Republicans just repeat the last thing they heard on Fox News.
Peter Thiel has confidence that his own personal power will keep him safe. Since he’s a sociopath, having homosexuality be illegal actually benefits him because if he gets tired of a relationship he can just out the other man and have them executed.
It’s not entirely clear to me whether history supports his confidence. But little no-name “activists” like the article author are always going to be destroyed.
thiel did defenestrated younger boytoy(not the husband) in florida in 2024, when the model was causing “problems” for thiel.
They may destroy you, yes. But they will also oppose those unlawful DEI mandates. At the end of the day, is that not what truly matters?
/s
Because class beats race or sexual preference every time. Peter Thiel is rich first, gay second. Kanye is rich first, black second.
Those billionaires will use any means they can to accumulate power, just ask Gawker about it.
Thiel plays it safe by staying out of the spotlight, and backing conservatives behind the scenes. Plus we never hear conservatives every attacking THIEL for being gay for any long periods of time, because he has the msm wrapped around his fingers. the “closest” was his young model SIDEPIECE being defenestrated in florida in 2024, which barely stayed on the news long.
trumper gays drank the whole koolaid of the right, they think they are special because they are wealthy or rich.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn
Wow, I did not know that Cohn was gay. Thanks!
Rat bastard hates to be called gay, but likes shoving his sausage onto men he gets turned on.

you have token or mirror?
This may have been explained earlier, apologies for any repetition on my end.
Internalized hatred is real and is a huge factor in this. Many people, when they feel they are on the ‘other’ side of oppression, easily take on the role of oppressors themselves. They believe they have ‘paid their dues’ and found success, and even feel as though they are even more qualified to judge and weigh the rights and qualifications of those in their previous position. It’s very similar to the mindset of older people who have paid off their student loans and staunchly believe that student loan forgiveness is wrong. They think that since they ‘put the work into it and upheld their end of the bargain’, it somehow diminishes their efforts if those that come after them have an easier path. Our confusion lies in the understanding that this is not the direction that progress exists.
Another point, which can be separate from the above or exist alongside: it is a simple fact that being a minority in any group does not mean that person is exempt from feeling prejudice or even discrimination towards minorities in other groups and anyone else for that matter. In a world ready to categorize, divide, and split the tiniest hairs to serve that aim, its a small wonder why we see so many hurt people hurting people.
peter thiel doesn’t care, it’s about the grift
nothing will impact him personally
Yes
