PayPal Founder Peter Thiel Gets Standing Ovation by Affirming His Pride On Homosexuality Among Republicans
By Julio
Severo
Billionaire
capitalist bully and PayPal founder Peter Thiel fulfilled his word. Days before his speech endorsing
Donald Trump for president on Thursday, he let all the press know that he was
going to declare: “I’m a proud gay man.”

He
broke a new barrier for the homosexual activism within the Republican Party by
becoming the first openly homosexual speaker to address his homosexuality at a
GOP convention— at a time conservatives want the Republican Party to fight the
gay agenda.
When
he said that he was proud to be a homosexual and a Republican, he got a
standing ovation, after adding: “Who cares what bathrooms people use?”
Families
care.
Christians
care.
Conservatives
care.
Liberal-minded
Republicans could be saying to themselves: “Who cares about billionaire
homosexual Thiel affirming his pride on homosexuality among us while he uses
his fortune for our political cause?”
Conservative-minded
Republicans asked other questions. Peter LaBarbera, founder and director of Americans
For Truth About Homosexuality (www.AFTAH.org), asked
in his Twitter account,
“How many open adulterers have addressed a GOP convention? Homosexualism is
just a different sexual sin.”
As a
conservative evangelical, I also ask questions. Can Thiel, the PayPal founder,
restore my account? Can he apologize and declare that he yielded to homosexual
activists who were harassing and persecuting me?
In
2011, PayPal closed my account definitively, after a campaign orchestrated by
U.S. homosexualist group AllOut. To me, PayPal explained that I am ineligible
to receive donations from my friends and readers because “you are not a
registered non-profit organization.” To AllOut, PayPal explained that it closed my account because
“We take very seriously any cases where a user has incited hatred, violence or
intolerance because of a person’s sexual orientation.”
Thiel
believes in Libertarianism, whose followers traditionally believe in freedom of
speech and freedom of the press.
A
true libertarian would never have terminated my PayPal account when I was a
victim of bullying from AllOut. But Thiel’s anti-Christian act against me and
my family (my account was used to receive donation from my friends to support
us) is explained by what he wrote in a 2009 essay for the Cato Institute. He
said: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
The
hard way, I understood that he practices what he believes and says.
Conservative
writer Don Hank remarked about Thiel’s speech in RNC:
When I heard
Thiel say last night that he welcomed a dialogue, I thought he might actually
be serious. But considering that he was at the helm of PayPal when they denied
Julio service simply because Julio believes in the traditional definition of
marriage (NOT a crime!), it is hard to take Thiel seriously. It would appear he
is just another bully who wants to force everyone else to support the homo
agenda and silence those who won’t.
Of course, if
Trump is elected, it will be up to him to decide whether we dialogue openly or
just allow people of faith and other sane individuals to be enslaved to this
agenda.
I think Trump is
trying to navigate between people of tradition and the revolutionaries who want
tradition abolished. But does he have the wisdom to succeed?
I suggest that
anyone with ties to the Trump campaign send this link “PayPal closed my
account definitively” to
the leadership and ask them to see if Thiel is serious about dialogue and is
willing to reopen Julio’s account. After all, Julio is on the front lines of
the faith side of the dialogue and Thiel’s organization, which claims it wants
dialogue, is on the other side. If Thiel refuses to re-establish Julio’s
account, he is a liar and Trump should distance himself from him and issue a
statement to that effect.
After all, Trump
could have chosen any influential gay person to speak at the convention, but he
chose a bully who stifles dialogue while hypocritically claiming to welcome it.
Now he must answer for this choice or walk it back. This cannot stand.
Apparently,
the problem for Thiel, 48, and his PayPal is not only my conservative Christian
stance against the gay agenda. In RNC, he voiced criticism of the Republican
Party, where there are many socially conservative opponents of the homosexual
movement.
“When
Donald Trump asks us to Make America Great Again, he’s not suggesting a return
to the past. He’s running to lead us back to that bright future,” said he.
Apparently,
he was referring to the fact that in the past the United States was dominated
by conservative evangelicals who rejected homosexuality. In its foundation,
America was 98% Protestant, not 98% homosexual. George Washington, the first
U.S. president, rejected homosexual behavior.
Thiel,
who supports homosexual “marriage,” was one of the original backers of Facebook
(a move that made him a billionaire) and is still one of its board members.
He is
also a co-founder of Palantir, a company long associated with doing data
analysis for U.S. intelligence and surveillance agencies.
He
supports the legalization of marijuana, something which Republicans have long
opposed.
Thiel’s
decision to endorse Trump, even though liberal Democrat John F. Kennedy is his
favorite President, shows that he seems as an unpredictable Republican as
Trump.
Clearly
there is far more to Thiel’s motives. Because he is a capitalist worth nearly
$3 billion, he could simply believe that Trump will manage the economy better
than Hillary Clinton. His capitalist ambitions seem to be a little above his
homosexual militancy.
Yet,
definitely his capitalist power has been at the service of his homosexual
militancy. PayPal vowed to discontinue the expansion of its services in North
Carolina after its governor passed a law to protect women and children against
homosexual predators by not allowing biological men to use women’s restrooms and
locker rooms.
In
answer to the PayPal boycott, on Facebook Franklin Graham, son of the
legendary evangelist Billy Graham, said, “PayPal gets the hypocrite of the year
award!… PayPal operates in countries including Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Yemen
for Pete’s sake. Just last month PayPal announced they would be expanding in
Cuba, a country in which homosexuals and transgender people have been
imprisoned, tortured, and executed.”
In
RNC, Peter Thiel explicitly urged people to vote for Trump, in a stark contrast
to senator Ted Cruz, who dodged an endorsement and has hammered Trump for his
stance on transgender people’s use of women’s restrooms and locker rooms.
During his campaign, Trump said transgender people should get to choose
whatever bathroom they want.
While
Thiel threw a bone to Trump, to Republicans and to gay militants, Trump seems to
be throwing a bone to evangelicals and to gay militants. After Thiel’s speech
in RNC, Trump’s speech promised to get rid of a law that hamstrings clergy from
speaking about politics while promoting forcefully “our LGBT community” label.
Conservative
Presbyterian Robert A. J. Gagnon, who is a professor of theology and author of
the book “The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics,” said,
Trump said:
“This time, the terrorist targeted our LGBT community. As your President, I
will do everything in my power to protect our LGBT citizens from the violence
and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. Believe me. And I have to say as
a Republican it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said. Thank
you.” One can only wonder how far this positive defining of “our LGBT community”
and the promise of protection against hate will extend to promoting
discriminatory “sexual orientation” laws in the workplace against people of
faith. He has already intimated support for such laws and has directly
expressed opposition to laws prohibiting males by birth from entering female
rest rooms.
Obviously a
Clinton presidency would promote this agenda more rigorously than a Trump
presidency. But a Trump presidency would implode Republican values from within,
ending perhaps forever our connection with the Grand Old Party that once
supported our values on sexual ethics. This is why many of us continue to have
reservations about endorsing Trump for President even in the face of the horror
of a Clinton presidency.
The
presence of billionaire homosexual bully Peter Thiel as a speaker in the GOP
convention seems to have been calculated to implode conservative values within
the Republican Party.
If
Trump keeps treating Christian values and the gay agenda as a mere business
game, he will be cooperating with such implosion.
