Here's the text of Peter's speech at the national press club, explaining his reasons for supporting Trump.

(ps downvoted you for homophobic nonsense)

Is it homophobic? I assumed the personal trauma being referenced was the public outing by Gawker.

I am gay and the premise that criticizing Thiel for working out his issues by destroying a company is somehow homophobic is very problematic.

And anyway, I'm not confirming or denying. I want him to.

I apologize for misunderstanding you, but your words still look ugly to me.

If you really care so much about what Peter thinks, what exactly are you accusing him of with the first question? How are you so sure of his motivations? That seems offensive coming from anyone. Happy to discuss in email.
