Technology investor Peter Thiel implored Republicans from the convention stage on Thursday against waging "culture wars" on lesbian, gay and transgender communities, mere days after the GOP approved a national platform that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Thiel, who himself is gay, stressed that "every American has a unique identity." He said attempts to require transgender Americans to use particular bathrooms is a "distraction from our real problem." And in a first for a GOP convention, the Facebook board member and PayPal co-founder drew attention to his own sexuality: "I am proud to be gay, I am proud to be a Republican, but most of all, I am proud to be an American," he said.

The real problem is sickos like Peter Thiel.
Unelected judges gave me rights and privileges.
Don’t touch them now...
My issue is all the babies being killed. I made some enemies tonight on Facebook over that. It just makes my blood boil that people think somehow climate change and $15 minimum wage is more important than babies. grrrrrr.
Thiel doesn’t mind pushing is gay culture war.
But Republicans - Stop!
It’s not a “culture war,” dickwad, when you reject a sicko lifestyle!
It’s called a “moral code.” Maybe we could explain the concept to you sometime.
Sodomy is filthy and dangerous, regardless of whatever Mr. Thiel says to the contrary.
A country that embraces abortion and gay marriage will never be America.
All we can do is pray for revival.
Thiel really doesn’t understand that a nation CANNOT mock God.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
In other words, don’t fight back against the culture wars waged against the rest of us for decades. Screw you, Thiel.
I actually took Thiel’s words to mean that liberals’ ongoing diatribes about the need for gender neutral bathrooms was senseless.
Who’s waging a war on homosexuals? What they do is their business. We just don’t want a one-size-fits-all policy in which businesses and churches have to go along with it at the gunpoint of federal judges.
Yes, let GOD render the justice and vengeance.
Why was he even allowed to speak on stage? There are better tech business leaders who are actually conservative, and all Thiel did was whine about Christian values.
Thiel is a great example of an immigrant who has helped keep America at the cutting edge. People like him will help make America great again. Whether he is gay or straight makes no difference in what he has done. If he wants to wear it on his sleeve that is his choice. If he wants to push his philosophy politically then he will get pushback but at this point he says he is much more interested in more important causes.
How much farther could they back off, then they are now? They are pretty much ahead of the Dems on LGBT now.
So....what. He sticks his penis in anal cavities, and says he is proud to do it. Congratulations, you support sodomy.
Agreed
