>Well, being as wealthy as Thiel is basically frees you from the day to day realities of being discriminated against.
I would remind you that the chief claim in US v. Windsor was about the tax implications of a lesbian wedding not recognized at the federal level, which incurred a higher estate tax penalty (to the tune of ~$380,000) which is unconstitutional under the 14th.
That seems exactly like something that Peter Thiel probably cares about if he ever chooses to marry.
