Not trying to start a political discussion but since Adam tweeted about the RNC and because the use of Queen music there has been an issue, I wanted to pass on some amazing and good news.
Peter Thiel, PayPal co-founder, Facebook boardmember, hedge fund/investment manager, and openly gay LGBT advocate is speaking in prime time, on the prime night, about how the Republic Party should support LGBT rights. He is only the second openly gay person to speak at a Republican convention, and the first person to address this issue. (The first openly gay personal to speak at the RNC was Rep. Jim Kolbe from Arizona who did not mention being gay.)
He said he was proud to be gay -- and he got a standing ovation and cheers.
Positive change is possible.
ETA: He also said, "fake culture wars distract us from us from our economic decline."

To get ready for Adam's appearance I watched the Greatest Hits show tonight and enjoyed it. I'm happy that Adam was asked to be on this show.
