Of course, there are conservative homosexuals and I will ignore your ignorant attack.
Milo is a different homosexual conservative because he is hugely articulate and talented. But he shares ‘issues’ with many other homosexuals like pushing too far and flaming out as a result. That’s not my fault, that’s his fault.
He clearly stated reasons behind Man-Boy amorous relations in a sympathetic light. That view cripples and negates all the positives of his conservative talents. He took it too far.
Like I said, Milo can make a comeback but the best course is to completely disavow Adult-Child sex of any kind, which he admitted he was molested. The only way he can divorce his character and conscience is to follow through with his statement that he will undergo ‘gay’ conversion therapy.
Milo is homosexual because he was molested as a child and the person who molested him was a ‘father figure’ which he perceives he needed at the time. He is waking up to the realization that the person that molested him was not a sympathetic figure but rather a sexual predator. He’s not there yet. He needs to complete his therapy successfully and then join back into his rise to stardom, even possibly political office.
As for other homosexual conservatives, they should disclose their homosexuality so that they cannot be blackmailed or compromised in any way. Then they should assure others that their homosexuality does not extend to a sexual interaction of minors in any way and that their homosexuality is entirely adult and is private. Finished, Period!
Milo has even admitted that he is NOT a “conservative”. Thank God. We don’t need HIS company! Well said, Rashputin.
I don’t subscribe to the usage of the word ‘gay’ as homosexual. Take note of that.
I know all the arguments that Milo put forward. He clearly articulated the difference between pedophilia and Adult-Child sex as one centering around the onset of puberty.
But it does not matter. He pushed the notion of normalizing adult sex with minors meaning children who are not yet at the age of majority defined as 18 years of age.
An adult that has sex with a minor child, post-puberty or not, is guilty of statutory rape and sexual molestation PERIOD. They are a sexual predator.
What Milo does well, for advancing conservative and traditional principles, lights fires of hope.
What Milo does darkly, painting monologues and conversations with what he does in bed with body parts in the nastiest of terms, punctuating it with self-deprecating laughter, is a scandal.
Milo is two different individuals. Two codes of moral practice.
For myself, the word “twisted” expresses that condition very well. It does not reflect a lack of mercy, if you read my post. I see him as a sympathetic person, who is also a genius... sadly morally and actively twisted.
Great thesis. Is it enough to wow the audience with conservative principles...
That is exactly what I see. Screaming for help..
Something about that ducked head of his, almost cowering, makes me not want to know the heartbreak he has experienced.
Read that he wants out of the abominable life style.
Here’s what Milo said 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.

A note for idiots (UPDATED):
I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst. There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a co-ordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject.
If it somehow comes across (through my own sloppy phrasing or through deceptive editing) that I meant any of the ugly things alleged, let me set the record straight: I am completely disgusted by the abuse of children.
Some facts to consider:
1. I have outed THREE pedophiles in my career as a journalist. That’s three more than any of my critics and a peculiar strategy for a supposed pedophile apologist.
(a) Luke Bozier, former business partner of Louise Mensch
http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/…/menshn-co-founder-embroile…/
http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/…/…/3746/luke-bozier-arrested/
(b) Nicholas Nyberg, anti-GamerGate activist who self-described as a pedophile and white nationalist
http://www.breitbart.com/…/leading-gamergate-critic-sarah-…/
(c) Chris Leydon, a London photographer who has a rape trial starting March 13 thanks to my reporting.
http://www.breitbart.com/…/tech-city-darling-chris-leydon-…/
2. I have repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophiles in my journalism.
http://www.breitbart.com/…/heres-why-the-progressive-left-…/
3. I have never defended and would never defend child abusers, as my reporting history shows. The world is messy and complicated, and I recognize it as such, as this furore demonstrates. But that is a red line for any decent person.
4. The videos do not show what people say they show. I *did* joke about giving better head as a result of clerical sexual abuse committed against me when I was a teen. If I choose to deal in an edgy way on an internet livestream with a crime I was the victim of that’s my prerogative. It’s no different to gallows humor from AIDS sufferers.
5. National Review, whose journalists are tweeting about this, published an article defending Salon for giving a pedophile a platform.
6. I did say that there are relationships between younger men and older men that can help a young gay man escape from a lack of support or understanding at home. That’s perfectly true and every gay man knows it. But I was not talking about anything illegal and I was not referring to pre-pubescent boys.
7. I said in the same “Drunken Peasants” podcast from which the footage is taken that I agree with the current age of consent.
8. I shouldn’t have used the word “boy” when I talked about those relationships between older men and younger gay men. (I was talking about my own relationship when I was 17 with a man who was 29. The age of consent in the UK is 16.) That was a mistake. Gay men often use the word “boy” when they refer to consenting adults. I understand that heterosexual people might not know that, so it was a sloppy choice of words that I regret.
9. This rush to judgment from establishment conservatives who hate Trump as much as they hate me, before I have had any chance to provide context or a response, is one of the big reasons gays vote Democrat.
10. In case there is any lingering doubt, here’s me, in the same interview the other footage is taken from, affirming that the current legal age of consent is about right: “And I think the law is probably about right. It’s probably roughly the right age. I think it’s probably about ok. But there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who were sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way.”

My friends son went thru the same scream for help. No one listened. He killed himself So sad.
Read post 27
Milo is a victim of child sexual abuse.
The elitist media and nevertrumpers are misrepresenting what Milo said like they always do.
Milo is having a press conference today.
I read somewhere recently that Milo is going to go to conversion therapy.
There are plenty who "skewer" liberals. They are either ignored or shouted down. The only reason Milo's gotten away with it this far is because he constantly plays the "I'm a gay white man who likes black penis" card and has been, up to this point, untouchable by the left. I think they will turn on him and start to tear him apart regardless of that card.
Yes, I posted a link to it above. There are many stories on it, not difficult to find.
I wonder how many of our resident hand-wringers said the same things about Trump. Milo is a mess, and I know plenty of messed up people, but at least he fights.
I speak to college age young men. They were and are emasculated by the radical feminist takeover of American education. By the time these boys get free of high school and enter an American university, they are hit with a brand new anti-male feminist law: any female who feels like it can accuse any male of rape...based on nothing. Said boy will find his life as he knows it is ended.
Thus, these kids, non-homosexual young men, respond to Milo's exaggerated pro-male, anti-radical feminist tirades. These boys find an articulate, grammatical (this is important!), Pythonesque defender in their unlikely hero.
We older types may not approve, but this is the world our children and grandchildren suffered through. They do not know what it felt like to be raised in a country who loved herself rather than the hateful, anti-American copybooks of their K-12 schooling. Try to imagine their world and you'll understand their joyful response to the flagrant un-P.C. humor of this young Brit.
This will all blow over and end up with Milo getting even bigger. His book deal will end up being $500k instead of $250k. :-)
He makes controversial utterances for money and fame.
That isn't exactly "fighting".
Plus he's a queer.
I agree with you what he said was wrong but it was not pedophilia. if you ignore the fact that it is a homosexual relationship. the relationship is as bad as a 27 year old man chasing a 17 year old girl but painting him with the Pedo title is just wrong. any one involved with a minor on the cusp of adult hood with that big an age difference is being predatory in there relationship.The oldest as far as I am concerned that a seventeen year old should be involved with is twenty.
Yes, the neocons misused the term pedophilia but it doesn’t change the fact that Milo brought a horrible situation on himself.
I’ll say it again, it is a shame.
It is a shame because Milo is a star in advancing the revolt against political correctness. The movement needs Milo.
But Milo is a young man and he still has issues about his years of being molested. He is confused because of it all and we should pray to the Lord that Milo finds salvation in Jesus Christ. Milo is a Jew but Jesus Christ can help him if he asks.
He’s also red-pilling a lot of young people vs. being a resident bridge troll.
