Any of you who side with Milo on this better never attack the Catholic Church for sex abuse ever again.

I don’t know that you’d consider me as “siding” with Milo Yiannopoulos but he did refute and disavow the claim that he was in favor of sex with minors. He’s also said he’d stop being gay if he had a choice.

The guy’s pretty obnoxious with the lurid details, I don’t know and don’t want to know. However, he’s also been a very effective voice for free speech, freedom of association, pointing out the hypocrisy of modern feminism, the sheer suicidal idiocy of western attitudes toward Islam and has put himself in physical danger to get these points across. It took me a while to reach that conclusion, and I’m still pretty uncomfortable with the thought of being allied with him, but in fact I suppose I am. That doesn’t mean I approve of things of which I don’t approve.

BY the way, I’m watching several on this thread who are so annoyingly frequently on the left of any issue here on FR to the point that I’ve suspected they’re trolls, suddenly having turned into strict social conservatives and are pushing this rejection of Yiannopoulis and find that interesting, too. This is going to undo some of the gains that had been made with college age and younger people, future voters. The left wants this to happen, and man do they ever know how to trigger social conservatives, this is practically a how-to seminar.

Nobody’s perfect, nobody’s without sin. I don’t approve of his lifestyle and don’t want to hear about it but he’s been doing some good, has been an ally and has shown some signs of being capable of repentance.

That’s more than I can say about certain Catholic bishops, so I’ll go after them and anyone else, in the Catholic Church or any other church who tries to rationalize and sweep such behavior under the rug, thanks.

Is that a a fair answer, in your estimation?
