In listening carefully to some of Milo’s earlier debates, he refutes any notion that he was “born that way.”
He himself has admitted that his homosexuality is a choice; he has acknowledged that it is sin, and that he struggles with it daily.
But in continuing to watch him as he has become a controversial superstar, something strange seemed to happen to Milo.
It seems to me, that as conservatives began to celebrate him as one of our own due to some of his views, we managed to convey the notion that we were celebrating—or at least condoning— his homosexuality as well.
After which, Milo seemed to “come out” even more, dispensing altogether with any talk of struggling against his urges, culminating with his appearance in front of the aforementioned photos of naked children.
Was he really trolling conservatives, not liberals, from the get-go?
Was all this according to some scripted plan?
Was he a trickster, a double agent all along?
I can’t help but wonder.
Perhaps a better way for conservatives to deal with him, and others like him, is not to isolate and reject, but to pray for him and with him. We can continue to agree on matters economic and political, but we must not FORGET to encourage him in his struggle against this sin, and help him—no, insist—that he must try to turn away from it.
That’s the thing. We must not forget or soft-peddle, or be timid and afraid to sound uncool, on things like this.
A well-said, intelligent post about Milo!
I call it the Andrew Sullivan effect. America is VERY bad for gay Brits who come here as reasonably humble people and turn into monsters through too much praise and easy money and publicity.
If you can find an hour long video, made with a friend before his admittedly nice press conference in Orlando, it’s a farrago of gross language, woman hatred, drug praise and his beloved talk of pillow biting with large black men.
Milo is not stupid and he has said many good things and when he wants to be, quite charming. But as a follower of him on Facebook, I know there’s a dark side as well. Move over Andrew! Another Brit is comin’ in!
