Penn State Students Condemn Message of Milo Yiannopoulos' ‘Pray the Gay Away’ Event
The Daily Collegian ^ | 11/3/21 | Jeremiah Hassel

Posted on 11/05/2021 6:59:09 PM PDT by marshmallow

“Pray the Gay Away.”

These words, plastered on large posters above the face of British alt-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, greeted visitors at Penn State’s HUB-Robeson Center on Oct. 25 — and again on Thursday.

Featured in prominent display cases in the HUB, tacked to poster boards, announcement forums and walls throughout campus buildings, and shared and reshared across students’ social media platforms, the posters advertise the Wednesday event by Uncensored America, one of Penn State’s student-run organizations.

When Penn State’s Queer and Trans People of Color Secretary Kyra Gines saw the posters for the first time, she said she thought the event was a performance or a satirical act with theatrically homophobic characters.

But Gines (junior-Spanish) said her attitude quickly changed when she verified the news and confirmed that Yiannopolous was scheduled to visit campus.

All at once, Gines said her tentative amusement was extinguished, replaced by concern for the safety of the QTPOC community amid “what’s going to inevitably be violence and discomfort across campus.”

Yiannopoulos rose to fame with statements in his presentations and writings attacking political correctness, feminism, LGBTQ rights, racial equality and social justice, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

It is pretty incredible that he would be allowed to speak at Pedophile State where they allowed a coach to rape little boys for years rather than have him tell what he knew about the university.

As long as no one is forced to participate, what's the problem?

I suspect he is still gay. Just getting some free publicity.

Invariably it is those who oppose these types of events who instigate the violence and then blame it on the event organizers who were simply exercising their free speech rights.

What reason do you have to suspect that?

Actually I assumed he was just saying it for the LOLs. I can’t know what is in his heart. But he still lives with his husband, of which he says “The guy I live with has been demoted to housemate”. Conversion from gay to straight isn’t an easy path. But I don’t really follow him and I’m happy to retract my comment as an uniformed wild ass guess.

A few months ago he did say he's no longer gay. Whether it's s publicity stunt or he's doing some soul searching, time will tell.

If he has made a change, he did it recently. As of July, 2020 he still described himself as gay.

Milo reached a demographic that has almost no exposure to conservative ideas. I was sorry to see him self-destruct.

Pray the LORD will send the perfect person to witness to Milo, and his housemate.

Who the SON sets free is free indeed.

Penn State’s Queer and Trans People of Color is a club for losers and requires every member to be powerless and fooled.

Or getting bored with it and growing up.

I really don’t care who he shares a bed with. His bf, gf. cat or dog. None of my business. He’s bright, articulate and conservative.
