Odd way to learn altman is gay.

Kinda shocked I've never seen a "worlds richest gay man!" Headline. That feels like low hanging fru-

Thiel was outed by Gawker and made it a mission to secretly fund the Hulk Hogan lawsuit which resulted in Gawker going bankrupt: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdrange/2016/06/21/peter-thiels-war-on-gawker-a-timeline/

Oh that one's because he goes nuclear when they do. He funded the killing of Gawker because they outed him.

Honestly I don't think it's any of our business. Even rich assholes are allowed to have a private life. Although with some (Musk, Trump) that private life is so fucked up it's impossible to ignore, but generally I'm totally fine with not knowing who they fuck.
