Sorry boys! DL fave Peter Thiel got married over the weekend!

Publish date: 2024-05-17

Peter Thiel got married in Vienna this past weekend, Axios has learned. Guests came expecting to celebrate the billionaire venture capitalist's 50th birthday, but instead were surprised by a wedding to longtime boyfriend Matt Danzeisen.

Thiel, who was an early investor in Facebook and a co-founder of PayPal, endorsed Donald Trump during the campaign and has been a rare voice of support for the president in Silicon Valley. Thiel's spokesman declined to comment for this story.

Another couple of gay men who are protected from any kind of bias or anti-gay legislation by "virtue" of their great wealth. Must be nice in that 1% Bubble.

I'm assuming both Peter Thiel and Anne Coulter have spoken against gay marriage in the past? Regardless, you have to marvel at the ability of these people to rationalize their hypocrisy.

by Anonymousreply 9October 17, 2017 3:34 PM

First, it's ANN not Anne Coulter, and I assume most here know that's not her in R4's link.

Second, Thiel hasn't spoken out against marriage equality, but he did say in the past that it "wasn't important" to him (a lot of gay conservatives have said the same thing over the years). Clearly that has changed.

If I'd known I'd have gone to the venue to throw a few stinkbombs (and undoubtedly get arrested and/ or mauled by his goons, but it would have been worth it).

Almost forgot - Austria doesn't have gay marriage, so I don't know what exactly Thiel did this weekend -- maybe some sort of a commitment ceremony, or just a big party. But not a wedding with a certificate that would be valid for recognition in the US.

Oh, and I don't know whether r14 is really so stupid he doesn't realize that Thiel's the one shitting on other gays, or if he's just trolling -- either way, F&F and ignore.

Comedy "Silicon Valley" featured a Peter Thiel- like character in the episode about Blood Boy. Thiel had previously talked about how getting blood transfusions from young people could extend a person's life and health.

3 threads in one day, really, Peter -- I mean, OP?

And r26, maybe you want to read r13's post again: he's not displaying homophobia, just Thielophobia, which is totally justified. Thiel is a disgrace to gays. I never thought I'd say this, but why couldn't he stay in the closet?

R26, it wasn't the left that voted against gay marriage or gays in the military.

Thiel is the guy who funded the lawsuit against Gawker because he was upset that Gawker revealed that he was gay. Yeah, he's a real piece of work. When he was younger, he was in the habit of unearthing his hook-ups secrets as a means of keeping them from talking about him. This was back in grad school.

If there were a fire and I had to choose between Zuckerberg and Thiel, I'd save Zuckerberg.

The gays on the left have Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. who is as angelic as Peter is demonic.

Peter Thiel believes that women should not have the vote.

This vile man is now venturing into Josef Mengele territory. He's running clinical trials on vaccines and meds and devices and god knows what else outside of the country, because he wants to escape the scrutiny of IRBs (Institutional Review Boards). In other words, he won't even commit to following the Nuremberg Code that was written by the Nazi War Crimes Tribunal in 1947. Forget informed consent or basic medical protection, he's willing to infect or injure thousands of people just to find a magical formula for longevity for himself and the 1%.

R46, nothing juicy. I know people who knew him. Basically, it sounded one step away from blackmail as a means of keeping people from talking about him.

His soliciting Weinstein victims for lawsuits is basically his way of trying to destroy Weinstein the way he destroyed Gawker. Won't stop with Weinstein--it will be a way to try and control Hollywood or whomever through "Legalist". He truly is that pathological.

And, of course, his company is all about deep data and datamining.

What makes you think Thiel isn't rich? His company, Palantir, (the one that's stealthily taken over downtown Palo Alto) has a $20 billion valuation, though it's struggling to hold on to it.

I'd be delighted if it tanked, though.

R59, it was Keith Rabois, a law student. He yelled at a dorm, "Faggot! Faggot! Hope you die of AIDS!” and “Can’t wait until you die, faggot!” It was basically a provocation to protest Stanford's speech regulations, but no less nasty for that. Funny, I was at Stanford then and when I think back hard enough I can totally remember this incident—even Keith Rabois's name. To come back to the present and find these twerpy assholes now billionaires and basically running the country is incredibly disorienting.

by Anonymousreply 73October 20, 2017 1:34 AM

I had never heard of him until recently. He seems very accomplished.I Google his picture as well, compared to other billionaires I looked at aftewords his expression appears strained around the mouth with very little sparkle in his eyes. With all he has accomplished it seems unusual.

If you find it disorienting that the lucky few who went to Stanford and other similar institutions are the ones who end up "basically running the country," even while being one of them yourself, R73, you are not very self-aware.

Anyway, Thiel is a piece of shit and I hope he loses everything. Including his citizenship here in New Zealand, wherefrom he can push Trumpism in the United States with total insulation from its consequences.

He did not get married in Austria, dumbass r80. As pointed out above, Austria doesn't do gay marriage. So maybe he had a commitment ceremony or some such thing, but he did not get a marriage license.

And realistically, the Nazis the world needs to worry about are the ones at Breitbart, not in Austria (where, by the way, saying or doing anything that could be construed as "Nazi" will get you a longer prison term than murder. No joke.).
