> Where is all the concern involving the fact that Peter Thiel was investing in a regime where there is a death penalty for being gay in the first place, why does that get a pass and all the concern falls on his supposed personal safety.

I don't believe gay people should be excluded from economic opportunity based on their sexuality or concerns for their sexuality, nor do they forfeit their right to safety or privacy. I don't personally think western countries or people should invest in or have close ties with Saudi, but I don't think those who do are automatically bad or wrong.

> This argument isn't about the fact that Saudi Arabia is ridiculously oppressive to gay people, it is about scoring points to make Peter Thiel look better.

Taking down bullies who oust gay people makes him look fine to me.
