    The @owenthomas post for @Gawker "outing" Peter Thiel; smart, well written, not sure why it would make Thiel mad:http://bit.ly/1Z1hV6o

        the only theory of ethics I've seen around justifying it is if someone uses the closet to hurt others

        ie benefiting from homophobia while closeted. This was Michael Rogers' justification.

        but there doesn't seem to be ANY justification here other than "I don't think this should be private"

        I believe Owen Thomas has stated he did not consider Thiel to be in the closet at the time.

        While it wasn't publicized, it wasn't a secret. Thiel seems to have disagreed re: closet status.

        You're probably right; we have that problem on @atlblog, people cherry pick what they hate.

        @sarahjeong @owenthomas @Gawker I think the part where they put his private life on blast was more to blame than writing quality 🙄

        I am serious, but concede I'm reading a 2007 article in 2016; maybe folks cared more back then.
