Peter Thiel may be attracted to men, but a prominent LGBT magazine says hes 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....

Or my local Republican County Chairman.
So this guy thinks that christian bakers are dangerous for not wanting to bake a cake but Muslim terrorist that want to actually kill gays aren’t?
I’ve heard that a lot of LGBT support Trump but will not publicly acknowledge it out of fear of retaliation.
I doubt that he cares what they think. Particularly since he did not come out of the closet on his own anyway.
Two black and one white guy in a ..., well that’s enough said.
Pardon the pun. But I believe that they have a rule HARD-ON for him. But it doesn’t RISE to the occasion. Let’s just say it’s a STIFF view on their part.
Gasp! A gay Republican! Oh no!
The church charities are the main refugee resettlement organizations, so I doubt they will be shut down. We’ve already seen the order on the totum pole after Orlando.
Everybody knows that.
But it all depends of your definition "gay." Pre mid '70s and Post mid '70s.
The former co-existed for centuries with society at large and were implicitly tolerated, because their behavior had negligible deleterious effect of society.
There were only two implicit groups, G & L.
Over time identity politics evolved as the norm, and the G&L subgroup exploded with the appearance of the AIDS panic, accompanied by an extreme aggression and resentment against society born of the fear of certain premature death.
Enter Militant, Violent, Organized, Angry in-your-face mobs of perverts.
The natural evolution resulted in what we have today, mobs of thugs wielding growing political power in every nook and cranny of society.
The result of the new GLBTQWQRTYWXYZ mobs? What is there more of than what was mentioned before?"
The disintegration of the family.
Increased incidence of Mental problems.
More suicides.
Increase in domestic violence.
Explosion of new exotic STDs.
Yes, there is a lot more to being gay than the traditional perversion.
The changes have been all for the worse,
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.
Oh, thank goodness.
This must be what going insane feels like ...
Excellent observation. Shove it into the faces of the homo-left every chance you get.
Why do liberals love speaking on behalf of others?
Well, there are a lot of fag lovers and supporters on FR. And they call this a conservative forum..
I would wonder how much of an insult it would be to be told you’re NOT gay ...
It’s just a fact that they are mentally ill. The male reproductive organ was designed for a purpose. Men are meant to be attracted to women. What argument could one pose against that? They are making their healthy bodies conform to their sick minds, when they should be doing the opposite.
