> Nobody is talking about excluding Thiel from investing in Saudi Arabia, or forfeiting his right to safety or privacy.

They were. They said he was worried that his investments would be discriminated against if it was found out that he was gay.

Deplorable really. Trying to make out like the bullying journalists from that two bit gossip rag were fine to oust him as gay because he is greedy or rich or something. Doesn't make it okay.

> I assure you Saudi Arabia is a much bigger "bully" to gay people than Gawker ever was, yet Thiel has no problem enabling it, and you apparently have no problem with him doing so either.

I have no problem with gay people investing in what they choose to and not being discriminated against due to their sexuality. Sounds like you do.

I’m not a fan of Thiel at all, but the “offensive” article in Gawker actually made me empathize with him. It’s the most flattering thing written about him, and it made me briefly consider him to be human. Those feelings were short-lived.
