First CPAC, now Simon & Schuster.
Milo Yiannopoulos lost a second gig Monday afternoon over his remarks defending underage pederasty, when Simon & Schuster cancelled plans to publish a book by the gay conservative provocateur this summer.
Adam Rothberg of the publisher’s public relations department made the announcement on Twitter Monday afternoon.
“After careful consideration @simonschuster and its @threshold_books have cancelled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos,” Mr. Rothberg wrote.
“Dangerous,” a title playing off of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s “Dangerous Faggot Tour,” had been set by a June 13 release by Threshold, the conservative- Yiannopoulos was recently disinvited from the Conservative Political Action Conference after a podcast emerged in which he appeared to endorse sexual relationships between “younger boys and older men”.
He said young boys "discover who they are" through such relationships. And even if they are sexual in nature can "give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents".
Yiannopoulos' $250,ooo book deal was met with significant criticism because much of he espouses racist, sexist, and transphobic from his prominent platform.

When you boycott a Trump or Milo, the same thing happens. People rush to buy. I read Milo’s apology or explanation on Facebook and it makes sense.
Yes, it’s a hit job. I predict nothing but success for this guy. If he wanted to, he could easily become a late night talk show host and blow everyone else out of the water in ratings.
This is just the beginning for MILO.
His apology and its sincerity reveal the character of who he is.
This has been well documented via twitter. Those who are in and those who are out.
Do you also need the name of his drug dealer?
Kevin Cordova aka $later on twitter, his arrest records are public and he himself brags about them.
Breitbart was already bleeding advertisers. There is only so long they can hold on.
Please tell me my degenerate behavior?! You apparently are so masochistic you want people to insult you because you were once fat, while I, the degenerate, want an America full of kind people who take care not to insult each other. Milo, of course, the interloper, brings his British pub behavior to America - in which it is considered fun to insult strangers over a beer. Then, when it doesn’t go over well, spew that Americans have no sense of humor and leave early, sticking the Yank with the bar bill. Even the BBC has advised Brits not to behave this way here and yet you invite it. Perhaps you live in an area that doesn’t meet a lot of British tourists?!
>Yes, I’ve noticed all the nevertrumpers coming out of the woodwork. Do you suppose they will ever go away?
I’d resolved to welcome them back especially when Trump ended much, much more conservative than any GOP president in recent memory. However, instead of getting on board the Trump train they’ve continued to stab him and us in the back at every turn. It’s become clear that they’re just disloyal curs and bring nothing of value to the table. They should be purged from the right. It’s time to go on the offensive against them.
Milo is being SET UP!!!
I really want him on our side. Bill Maher just told him he’s a “gay Christopher Hitchens”.
They’re not going to believe you. This is the same kind of behavior I saw during Glenn Beck’s high water mark.
In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
i think S&S higher ups badly wanted him gone .... long before this happened. I’m sure S&S has books on being gay that would curl our ears.
How exactly is he the gay Christopher Hitchens? A man who wrote many books and endless essays, reviews, journalism, etc? Maher is a moron!
What Milo said is a fact of life for most teen homosexual boys
They learn from being turned out
They even have turning out parties
It’s a sickness to me but it is what it is
Liberals and women like homosexuality cute and tidied up all sweet
A fantasy view
I'm thinking that Milo / Breitbart should announce that Milo will hire an editor to make sure that things are explained fully.
That there are some UK/USA cultural differences and that adjuvant explanation is necessary sometimes.
This is an act to prevent another episode.
There was already a comment from BB this morning about their serious loss of advertisers in the last year. People have been boycotting them for quite awhile.
Are you a fan of Milo’s?
>Please tell me my degenerate behavior?! You apparently are so masochistic you want people to insult you because you were once fat, while I, the degenerate, want an America full of kind people who take care not to insult each other.
People insult and barrette others to change bad behavior. That’s how humans work. If you want to enable bad behavior then by all means never say any thing mean about it.
>Then, when it doesn’t go over well, spew that Americans have no sense of humor and leave early, sticking the Yank with the bar bill. Even the BBC has advised Brits not to behave this way here and yet you invite it. Perhaps you live in an area that doesn’t meet a lot of British tourists?!
Just to be clear, are you justifying the Berkley riots? Because if so, you’re clearly a leftist.
