I agree.

Milo used his ironic, bespoke, glittery Liberace-like gay persona as a rhetorical flashbang, and I can appreciate how and why that works with a certain audience.

However, he’s been inching toward a different persona -— penitent -— for months at least, and this crisis may enable him to step right out of the dangerous faggot mode and into an even-more-subversive stance: that of a repentant and redeemed man walking toward Truth.

He needs a good confession. One in which his true Savior truly saves. Not some bullfritter spirituality like Flannery O’Connor’s fictional “Church Without Christ”: “where the blind don’t see and the lame don’t walk and what’s dead stays that way.”

“The Catholics Are Right About Everything”: title of one of Milo’s talks. Be a Catholic, Milo. You know why, and you know how.

Mrs. Don-o: you and I have had many disagreements and you are now in for another one. If you think the sometimes Catholic and the sometimes Jewish, Milo, is going to/or thinking about Confession, I would ask that you join Facebook and friend him there. Because as you and I are perhaps communicating he is in Key West holding hands with his boyfriend while drinking Dom Perignon and, undoubtedly, eating Joe's Stone Crabs, outlawed in Judaism. He seems to be having a swell time, in between taking selfies of himself and not exactly thinking about conversion therapy. The New York Post - hardly a left wing rag - has reported that he was in a meltdown about his hair prior to his press conference yesterday.

And while Milo pretends to be an int’l intellectual, I doubt Flannery O'Connor is much on his wavelength. Brits don't think much about our greatest short story writers.

There is only so much naivete I can take on FR. You got it right with your Liberace remarks (and I predict Milo will follow along those lines). But I'm afraid as much as Milo would have us think he is ironic, he is sadly true to form for most wealthy gay men: narcissistic, flamboyant, cynical and shallow.

“a rhetorical flashbang”

One of the best turns of phrase I have run across in years. Thank you.

My expectation exactly. I think that this is a God tap to bring him home. Praying for him.

What are you suggesting, Mrs. Don-o? That Milo will be able to sashay the gay away?
