The reason Thiel had a grudge against Gawker is perfectly valid, they outed him without his consent. And they have outed plenty of other gays for years quite irresponsibly. Yeah, good riddance.
I think Peter Thiel's sexual orientation is very much a public matter when he supports the Republican Party, one of the most virulently anti-gay parties in the West.
Exposing the hypocrisy of the rich and powerful is what journalists have always done.
It's not hypocritical at all to understand that those issues mean less than nothing to anybody, so you shouldn't feel the need to continue speaking for him and his priorities. His self-sacrifice for the greater good is deeply admirable. These have always been a side issue that prevent America from being great and now one party has hijacked the issue to indoctrinate people into promoting the rest of its corrosive agenda. Thiel should be lauded for eternity for doing his small part to fight for the true good -- if the good in the end ever makes a triumphant comeback to win.
