While the title of the post, ' Peter Thiel is totally gay, people' might suggest the piece was mean-spirited, it was actually full of praise for him, stating, 'Peter Thiel, the smartest VC in the world, is gay. Owen Thomas's 2007 reporting in ValleyWag - in which he outed Peter Thiel as being gay - was what fueled him to seek retribution almost a decade later. If there's a 'twist' in the narrative, it's that Hulk Hogan had a tag team partner for the lawsuit in the form of Peter Thiel - the eccentric venture capitalist who co-founded PayPal and who had been an early investor in Facebook - and whose endless stream of capital was intended to strike a death blow against Gawker. Rather, it was that he knew his earning potential would be ruined once the racist language was made public. The crux of the lawsuit was not that Hulk Hogan was embarrassed that he was caught having sex. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs.” I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language there is no excuse for it and I apologize for having done it. In response, Hogan commented, 'Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. “WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.” “WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan),” said a statement from WWE. When the WWE got wind of Hogan's tirade, they quickly scrubbed all mentions of his wrestling exploits from any company history and terminated his contract.
