Simon & Schuster cancels book deal with Milo Yiannopoulos
Washington Times ^

Posted on 02/20/2017 2:48:00 PM PST by TigerClaws

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.

I was just thinking the same thing last night. Milo is on the cusp of being a big star.

But part of his appeal is that he is a conservative gay.

What a stupid rejoinder! So because I don’t support Milo (although I certainly supported his right to speak on campus) I support the Berkeley riots?

And now we have people saying that those of us who don’t trust Milo were Never Trumpers! I heard of this Saturday night on this subject and it is an ugly charge with no basis in reality. Some people are pulling at straws.

Sadly, if Milo is ostracized by the right, I can see him immediately befriending the left...anything for publicity, free living quarters and free pot.

Is that what he did? That's not what I'm hearing he did except from the MSM, and we all know how trustworthy they are.

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.

I agree. This is not approval of homosexuality, but Milo said some uncomfortable truths that need to be acknowledged and honestly discussed in the public forum.

WEDGE ALERT: the NeverTrumpers split conservatives with Trump and Cruz, and they are doing the same with Milo.

WEDGE ALERT

“His apology and its sincerity reveal the character of who he is.”

Well then, why is he protecting Father Michael?

Exactly. Women often form attachments to gay men, who call them “fag hags” behind their backs. There are a lot of ugly realities to the gay lifestyle that liberals do not want us to know. If we knew, if that lifestyle was “outed” we might not be guilt-tripped by our “homophobia”. Milo was on his way to dragging reality, the mental illness and excesses and perversion—right into the daylight where everyone could see. Including the fact that older gay men fixate on the very young.

The charge is coming up because this was a planned media campaign against Milo lead by neverTrumpers editing a tape together. So were you or are you a nevertrumper?

>Sadly, if Milo is ostracized by the right, I can see him immediately befriending the left...anything for publicity, free living quarters and free pot.

You’re quite delusional. Once denounced the left never lets you in.

“There’s a thread today on Breitbart firing him.”
~~~~~~~~~`
I haven’t seen anything on Breitbart to that effect.


Neither have I - I just did a FR search and found no such thread.

I have seen articles (on web) stating Breitbart COULD fire Milo....again, by obscure sites. Nothing official, yet.

txhurl....please post FR link, if you have it. TIA.

Please tell that to Andrew Sullivan and David Brock, you chump. And Arianna Huffington. And the myriad others who sold out conservatism to join with the party of popularity and big bucks.

Just was over to Breitbart - nothing of the sort! Thanks, Jane. In fact, they have some of his videos up.

Agree.

This is a shot at another scalp. But - IRONY - it means the leftists have to say this is a basis for shunning someone. Leftists normally are all for boy/man love.

“This has been well documented via twitter. Those who are in and those who are out.”

That’s not an argument, dude.

“well I saw stuff on Twitter, and I’m repeating it here”.

This elevation of Milo - who is barely known outside of conservative and liberal political junkies - is incredible! You do realize that most Americans have never heard of this guy?
