From Gay Money to 'God's Wrath': Praxis CEO Melts Down (Gil Duran, The Nerd Reich)

Dryden Brown, CEO of the Network State project called Praxis, published an unhinged rant against LGBTQ Pride celebrations in New York City on Sunday.

In now-deleted posts on X, he predicted that NYC will soon face “biblical punishment” due to its embrace of Pride festivities.

“Fuck gay pride,” he wrote.

But some of the most prominent funders associated with Praxis — including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Palantir/PayPal Mafia godfather Peter Thiel—are gay.

A lot of the RWNJ-tech bro fusion is so irrational and fragile.

1. Technically gay, yes...

...but if you get down to denotation vs. connotation, they seem more "homosexual," to me. Hear me out.

Jack Donovan is a guy who has written a number of pro-same-sex relationships books for that segment of the manosphere, and he has used the word "androphile" to differentiate the right-wing "gay" population from gay men in general. (Sometimes you will see "masculinist," too, which seems to me more specific to gender presentation.) Their thinking is that gay as usually understood connotes traits they see as negative -- the usual homophobic tropes.

Anyway - it's tangential to the main point of that very useful article -- but a less-seen example of how right wingers can twist themselves into self-sucking pretzels when they want to.
