I have seen articles that he supported pedophilia and arguments the tape is edited. Where is a non-biased analysis or the actual video of what he said?
There’s a fag Freeper booster section here. They should know..
The issue is context. Talking about how healthy a mentoring relationship between men and teen boys can be, followed by an explanation how sex between them wouldn't be pedophilia seems indicative of, well, justifying it and approving of it.
A transcript:
His follow up:
Milo on Facebook:
I am a gay man, and a child abuse victim.
I would like to restate my utter disgust at adults who sexually abuse minors. I am horrified by pedophilia and I have devoted large portions of my career as a journalist to exposing child abusers. I’ve outed three of them, in fact — three more than most of my critics. And I’ve repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophilia in my feature and opinion writing. My professional record is very clear.
But I do understand that these videos, even though some of them are edited deceptively, paint a different picture.
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.
As to some of the specific claims being made, sometimes things tumble out of your mouth on these long, late-night live-streams, when everyone is spit-balling, that are incompletely expressed or not what you intended. Nonetheless, I’ve reviewed the tapes that appeared last night in their proper full context and I don’t believe they say what is being reported.
I do not advocate for illegal behavior. I explicitly say on the tapes that I think the current age of consent is “about right.”
I do not believe sex with 13-year-olds is okay. When I mentioned the number 13, I was talking about the age I lost my own virginity.
I shouldn’t have used the word “boy” — which gay men often do to describe young men of consenting age — instead of “young man.” That was an error.
I am certainly guilty of imprecise language, which I regret.
Anyone who suggests I turn a blind eye to illegal activity or to the abuse of minors is unequivocally wrong. I am implacably opposed to the normalization of pedophilia and I will continue to report and speak accordingly.
And, 1 hour ago:
I’ve gone through worse. This will not defeat me.”

lol. He’s also said things like this.
“These people [liberals] are mental, hideous people, and the more that America sees of Lena Dunham, the fewer votes that the Democratic Party is going to get.”
I dont want to know his personal life but he does put it out there. What he said was the reality of young gay men turning to older gay men for attention and love. It’s sad and sick but I saw it a lot in Manhattan.
I think he is well spoken and helpful to the right when he is on point but he spouts too much sometimes and gets himself in trouble
He has shown MORE courage than MANY MANY MANY “conservatives”.
Would you rather have George Will on our side?
And “fag” is a little outdated, no? :)
He is drawing the distinction between pedophilia and ephebophilia. One is sex between an adult and a prepubescent child. The other is between an adult and a post pubescent teenager.

What is true and not just “technically” is if a gay man has sex with an underage boy, it’s pedophila whether the boy is 8 or 18.
A bunch of FReepers go absolutely apeshit reading the tea leaves when it comes to this pizzagate stuff, throwing around accusations right and left without any proof of anything yet they have trouble understanding the words Milo said very clearly and deliberately.
It was on O’reily tonight.
The guy’s a throw-away.
Wow...
That was sick...
homos “mentoring” boys—how is that different than homo boy scouts?
WHAT IS REALITY!?! - Firesign Theater
( That’s from the student crowd listening to “Poop’s Principles” )
But in this as in so many cases “everything is one hundred eighty degrees out of phase.” On the album, the hip students were running rhetorical rings around Principal Poop.
Now it is those very students, grown up into ossified caricatures of their former selves, who can’t box themselves out of the paper bag they have entrapped themselves in.
I saw the pics on James Alefantis Instagram. He was sexualizing babies and toddlers.
I’m not defending Milo, but what he said was much different than sexualizing children like the Pizzagate guy did.
Milo: “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 attraction to people who don’t have functioning sex organs yet. Who have not gone through puberty. Who are too young to be able (unclear and cut off by others)…That’s not what we are talking about. You don’t understand what pedophilia is if you are saying I’m defending it because I’m certainly not.”

‘seems indicative of justifying it and approving it’ - yes, it does, and it is. Milo needs to watch his mouth. I hear he is going into a Christian re-orientation program, tho. Good for him. Should go soon and get some healing.
I think his mistake was using the word “boys” in the context of “kids in college”. He had an older partner when he was 17, which was perfectly legal (England). He has stated that he was sexually aggressive at 13, when he lost his virginity. If you mix it all up it could be, mistakenly I believe, that he was saying it’s ok for older men to have sex with 13yo’s.
He has turned in multiple pedo’s and was a victim of child abuse. I don’t believe for a minute he believes in pedophilia. He does believe we don’t understand sexuality very well, even going as far as to state that transgenders and lesbians don’t exist, they’re just confused.
There’s elements on both the left and right that want to see him go down. He hasn’t done anything and he has clarified his position. I’ll pray for him and give him a pass for the misunderstanding.
That may have been Milo's big no-no - that diddling priests are actually just plain old, regular homosexuals - and he had the audacity to point it out.
For that he must be electronically executed.
I’ve only seen “OMG he’s in favor of pedophilia! All conservatives proven evil” to “it’s edited fake news!” and couldn’t find the interview/transcript without editing and commentary.
And he’s scheduled a press conference in NYC tomorrow.
