It seems that message was lost on his supporters. I've seen scant evidence in interviews, polling, or personal interactions to indicate this pro-LGBTQ stance is shared.
I'll never forget the cheering and applause Thiel got from Republicans when he announced he was proud to be gay at the RNC. That was a pretty special moment.
He has a long record of being pro-LGBT and if he was going to backtrack on that to appease his supporters he would have done it before the election, not now after he already has their votes.
