Milo Yiannopoulos has been disinvited from the he Conservative Political Action Committee conference because of his comments on gay relationships between boys and older men.
The conservative firebrand was told he will not be able to attend the event this weekend by Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union.
He released a statement on Monday saying his invite was ‘rescinded’ after the ‘offensive’ video surfaced.
‘We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient, he added.
‘It is up to him to answer the tough questions and we urge him to immediately further address these disturbing comments.’
Their move comes just hours after Yiannopoulos strongly denied that he was defending pedophilia with his comments.
On Monday, he wrote on Facebook: ‘I’m partly to blame. My own experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous.
‘But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, “advocacy.” I deeply regret that. People deal with things from their past in different ways.’
Milo Yiannopoulos claimed he was not defending pedophilia when he said some younger boys could benefit by coming involved in a consensual relationship with an older man. He has now been banned from speaking at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference

Beitbart’s News Editor was taking part in a debate between several American men, one of whom was wearing a superhero-style mask, when he defended ‘coming of age’ relationships.
A five-minute edited tape of the discussion was posted online forcing the controversial media star to clarify his comments.
Yiannopoulos was due to address the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington this weekend.
After the footage was released, conservatives called for him to be banned.

During the online discussion, Yiannopoulos said: ‘This is a controversial view, I accept. But we get caught up in this whole child abuse thing even to the extent we are policing consensual relationships between consenting adults, such as grad students and professors at universities.
‘The whole consent thing is not as black and white as people try and paint it.’
Yiannopoulos agreed that the age of consent was ‘roughly’ at the right age.
Yiannopoulos wrote a second apology on Facebook on Monday. He said that he was abused as a child and felt he could speak freely on the topic

He continued: ‘There are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I would certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who are sexually active younger.
‘I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way. In many cases… actually, those relationships… this is one of the reasons I hate the left. This one-size-fits-all policing of culture. This arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys, you know, the understanding that many of us have, of the complexities, subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships.
‘People are messy and complex, particularly in the homosexual world. Some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of “coming of age” relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can’t speak to their parents.’
Yiannopoulos said: ‘Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is an attraction to people who don’t have functioning sex organs yet, who have not gone through puberty, who are too young to understand about the bodies. That is not what we are talking about.
‘You don’t understand what pedophilia is if you thing I’m defending it, because I’m certainly not.’

For the record - as I’ve taking flak on FR - the above statements are NOT okay.
NO 13 year old is mature enough for sex - and certainly not with an adult.
That’s an illegal and immoral act.
Milo should admit that’s wrong.
The self-righteous pharisee criticizing the tax-collector.
The group name “Pharisee” starts with a phonetic “F” sound, because they are __ (starts with “F” sound).
I know, right? Madness!
You are not "technically" correct. According to Websters Medical Dictionary pedophilia is defined as "sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object; specifically : a psychological disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child"
Men who desire sex with children under the age of 11 or so are not the same as men who desire sex with boys age say, 16-18. It just aint the same sickness. Both can be wrong, sick, and illegal without being the same thing.
ok, I’ll say it one last time...he does NOT support pedophiles.
He has OUTED MULTIPLE pedo’s. He stated the “age of consent” is about right. So either you don’t listen or you’re a troll. His opinions, being able to destroy anyone in a debate, aren’t “fake”. Are you putting yourself out there accomplishing this? No, thought not.
If God told you, “go forth, talk like them (gay) but speak truth” - would you? Or would you be too scared to be called “disgusting”? I don’t know what is true or not about him. I do KNOW that he uses the “being gay” angle to reach audiences NOBODY else does. In these times of video editing, photoshop, fake news, lies, lies, lies and ALL OUT WAR from the left - are you really going to allow him to be destroyed when that is what the left wants? What he is doing isn’t easy. NEVER do what your enemy wants. Did you vote for Trump? If so, realize the media is trying to do the same to Milo as they did Trump - from both the left AND establishment GOP. I think the guy is courageous, he’s taking on all sides while speaking TRUTH.
The monster is trying to take him down for a reason. If you’re no troll and are really interested in truth, please see past the lies and his (apparent) flaws. In the internet age, we are the collective organism, everything is now at stake - it’s a battle for your mind. He is HATED by the left, do not fall for the lies (also known as “framing the narrative” and “power of omission”). I do not believe, for one second, that he is what you think....there’s more to it, a LOT more.
Oh, I thought you were talking about something coming out on twitter about Milo, but I see it’s McStain :O
Though I can’t imagine what it could be, because the dude has been a frickin’ back stabbing traitor his whole life.
I really, really, REALLY cannot stand that guy ;/
He used “young boys” and that was stupid.
I have referred to 18 years olds as young gals because i’m 48.
“that guy’s 60 and dating an 18 year old. She’s a young girl!” wouldn’t be a shocking thing to say.
I dont think he meant prepubescent. And if he DID, he’s DONE in my book.
But you are right. For now i’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.
The VERY WORST thing that happened during the entire Vietnam war, is McCain survived his shot-down jet.
The very worst thing. Nothing happened that was nearly as bad.
Me either. He’s a stone cold traitor.
“simple fact is that homosexuals are flawed individuals, and if you throw in with them, you will regret it.”
I agree. Homosexuals are poisonous creatures and our alliances with them need to be handled carefully. I will let Milo talk and I will agree with him when I think he is right, but I reserve the right to call him out when I think he is wrong. If we are going to live in the same tent, so to speak, there have to be some clearly understood rules. They don’t get to call the shots.
I fundamentally object to mentoring by homosexuals because it only leads to molestation. Kids are absolutely off limits. Older teens and young adults should be too. They are often fragile and uncertain of who they are and are easy prey. The predator perverts need to leave them alone.
I HAVE WATCHED. You’re not listening(!), re-read what I wrote - a lot ISN’T serious and there’s cultural differences in humor (a bit hard to filter, I get it more than most being from the UK). So I’ll just say “yes”, after putting aside his flaws, his public image, etc. - I’ll support his position on everything but the “I’m so gay” character, which for all I know, is a game to get out his message.
You can’t deny he has drawn a lot of attention. Universities riot over him. Why is that? I think you should listen to his messages more before judging him on being gay or jumping on the leftist bandwagon to destroy him via taking things out of context.
If you want to try and convince young people about “truth” by talking about “what the Bible says”...you lose. That is where we are culturally. We need different weapons. Milo is one. I don’t think you understand what is going on here. I’m not asking you to accept homosexuality as “good” - rather, if truth is only listened to because somebody is gay, so be it. It may be sad...but maybe true. I think you may want to weigh up; do I want progressives to win or hear truth from “cringe”? FYI, after watching a lot of what he says, I DO believe he’s a “good person with flaws”...just like all of us, including you. If you think otherwise, please re-read your Bible.
That’s where I’m at. He’s outed pedo’s and stated that he thinks the age of consent is about right. How often have I heard a college football coach say “these kids played their hearts out”? Yeah, they’re “boys” right? There are cultural (humor) differences going on here and context. I don’t believe, for one second, that he means “old guys on really young boys is OK”. The line of “what is an adult?” is defined culturally, even if most are just “around certain ages”. Islam is way off. UK vs USA is not as clear.
I’m with you. He’s clearly no fan of pedophilia, but I see his point of view that gay teens may end up in a relationship with an older man (wrong though it may be) because that man is the only one who accepts them for what they are. And that’s a sad state of affairs, no pun intended, but I get the feeling that this is what he’s trying to say, and it’s ALL he’s trying to say.
Yep.
To be perfectly frank, I am just fine with sending him back to the VC and telling them to finish damn job.
No use or need for that traitorous sack of crap.
