Peter Thiel ‘not a gay man’ for supporting Donald Trump: LGBT magazine
The Washington Times ^ | October 19, 2016 | Bradford Richardson

Peter Thiel may be attracted to men, but a prominent LGBT magazine says he’s “not a gay man” because he supports Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

In a rambling article for The Advocate, Connecticut College history professor Jim Downs posits that there is more to being gay “than just having sex with someone of the same gender.”

Mr. Downs argues the Silicon Valley billionaire reaffirmed his personal “sexual choices” by supporting Mr. Trump, but separated himself from the broader “gay identity” rooted in class struggle against oppression.

“By the logic of gay liberation, Thiel is an example of a man who has sex with other men, but not a gay man,” Mr. Downs wrote. “Because he does not embrace the struggle of people to embrace their distinctive identity.”

Mr. Downs also accuses Mr. Thiel of supporting a platform that is “actually dangerous to LGBT people,” pointing to Republican-backed laws allowing religious bakers to refuse to make wedding cakes for same-sex couples....

The left is all about the “class struggle”. If you don’t subscribe to the groupthink you’re not a real member of one of the various “oppressed classes” that they purport to be fighting for. That’s why anyone who dares think for themselves is immediately attacked and ostracized. The last thing the “tolerant” set wants to hear is true diversity of thought.

“What argument could one pose against that?”

My arguments with these faggots is this: if you are normal, then how come 2 faggots cant conceive a child? I thought nature will find a way for this to happen. The only thing they conceive together is AIDS.

It’s funny how even the fags and fag-supporting posters at the original article are excoriating the article’s insane points.

At some point, even leftists come to the realization of the intellectual poverty of their own position.

I hope Trump is able to cut off all government money to the churches. The Catholic Church was deliberately made dependent on government money by the homosexual Satanist Cardinal Bernardin. Starting in the sixties, as General Secretary and the President of the bishops’ conference, he got the Church involved in supporting Alinsky, contraception, pro-abortion politicians, No Borders—every evil you can think of with the POSSIBLE exception of actually paying for abortions DIRECTLY. At least, they haven’t been caught actually writing checks to abortionists.

Yes, to count as black, gay, latino, or a woman, to a liberal, you must be liberal. Conservatives don’t count (See, Justice Thomas).

Sorry, Advocate, but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, has a d**k and has one in its mouth (or elsewhere); it’s a gay man - no matter what your opinion may be.

As The Diceman said, "You either s... d..., or you do not s... d..., there is no in between."

States Rights would be an improvement and if he would start appointing judges who understood the plain language of the first amendment it would be a welcome relief that would reverberate for decades.

Since he thinks that the Johnson act should be repealed I think he would be open to it.

Thus proving that liberalism is a religion.

And Thiel is a heretic.

Uh, Jim? No, there isn't. The great philosopher Andrew Dice Clay once said, "You either..." But ah, I feel the warm breath of a Mod on the back of my neck and so I shall type no more...

I am amused when some wet-behind-the-ears liberal arts faculty member drones "class struggle against oppression" as if it were newly minted. Might just as well be "23-skiddoo!"

But he is a smart and happy man for supporting Trump.

What's the gay equivalent of an "oreo"?

A woman acquaintance went to a concert with a gay male friend, Joe, where they encountered another gay male who knew Joe. Seeing that Joe was accompanied by a woman, the second gay male said, "Ew, Joe, I didn't know you were a lesbian."
