Personal life
Dreher married Julie Harris Dreher in 1997. Dreher announced publicly through his blog the couple had begun the divorce process in
April 2022. The couple had three children together. Dreher lived in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. Raised a
Methodist, he left organized religion before converting to Roman Catholicism in 1993 at the age of 26, and subsequently
wrote widely in the Catholic press.[citation needed] Covering the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal, starting in 2001, led him to
question his Catholicism, and on October 12, 2006, he announced his conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy. At the time, Dreher had
argued that the scandal was not so much a "pedophile problem," but that the "sexual abuse of minors is facilitated by a secret,
powerful network of gay priests," known as the "Lavender Mafia."
In 2022, following his separation from his wife, Dreher moved to Budapest, Hungary, where he lives in what he has described as a
self-imposed "exile". He returned to the United States in 2026, after Viktor Orban was voted out of office.
Dreher wrote that FBI documents uncovered in 2022 named his father Ray Dreher as a leader (Exalted Cyclops) of the Ku Klux Klan,
a revelation which Dreher described as "proof of a terrible story that I had long suspected was true, but hoped against hope was
not." Ray Dreher Sr. and his brother, Murphy Dreher Jr., were close to local U.S. Representative and noted Klansman John Rarick
(D); all three men belonged to the same Masonic lodge.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p2hcyqrzxxow32qrexm6pglc/bafkreie3gq4d4lujcjjmn76aq6d6wfluvb2hd5uu7nvirbcqbdgh6x6dhe)

Curtis Yarvin is a blogger and computer scientist. He is best know for his far-right, racist political writings originally published under the pseudonym "Mencius Moldbug."
Yarvin played on the College Bowl-only team for Brown from 1989 to 1992. In 2021 he published a poem stating that "No one can fucking touch me / In College Bowl." Brown failed to advance out of the Region 1 tournament for all four years of Yarvin's participation, making his lifetime record at intercollegiate tournaments 0-4 and demonstrating that, at a minimum, the Brandeis, MIT, and Williams teams were capable of "touching" his
performance. He was known for "jerk[ing] spasmodically" when buzzing, which his teammates at Brown dubbed "yarvinating".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p2hcyqrzxxow32qrexm6pglc/bafkreiflvvzmhr6uzidt6m7xovgwaot3zhwkoistvdatjz33a7cc56vy4e)
