"If you don’t conform, then you don’t count as diverse, no matter what your personal background."

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel has endured the wrath of liberals for breaking with other Silicon Valley-zombies and pledging his moral and financial support to Donald Trump. For this "crime" Thiel, who is gay, was disparaged in a leading LGBT publication, The Advocate, as "not genuinely gay."
Speaking out at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, Monday, Thiel doubled-down on his support for Trump in spite of the angry mob assailing him.
"What Donald Trump represents isn’t crazy, and it’s not going away," he boomed during his speech (featured in its entirety above).
Thiel donated $1.25 million Trump's campaign and said that while he finds some of the GOP candidate's comments offensive at times, he has the leadership skills to help the country.
"We’re voting for Trump because we judge the leadership of our country ... This judgment has certainly been hard to accept for Silicon Valley, where many people have learned to keep quiet if they dissent from the coastal bubble," Thiel said.
The PayPal co-founder voiced his disapproval of liberal intolerance, blasting the Advocate for its smear questioning, indeed trivializing his sexuality just because he supports Donald Trump.
"The lie behind the buzzword of diversity could not be made more clear," Thiel blasted. "If you don’t conform, then you don’t count as diverse, no matter what your personal background."
