Billionaire tech mogul Peter Thiel got a rousing ovation when he declared he is gay during his speech at the Republican convention Thursday night even as he dismissed the debate over transgender bathroom use.

“When I was a kid, the great debate was about how to defeat the Soviet Union, and we won,” said Thiel, the founder of PayPal. “Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares?”
