I have huge respect for people who think about computing such as Peter Thiel and Alan Turing.
That they are gay is not relevant.
I am not saying this to support people 'coming out', although that is all well and good. I'm saying it because it is a fact that way too many people focus excessively on their 'lifestyle' as defining them as a person. It doesn't matter if you are a swinger, a gay, a transvestite, or straight. Outside of the "heat of the moment" for a person, your sexuality is not that interesting and probably should not define you as a person because that is a great way to waste your time in pursuit of pointless objectives like validation by society.
Sexuality is transitory, it does not last. It is not an accomplishment. I am as liberal as it gets when it comes to sex, but too many people waste time here.
