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 publishers 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. Yiannopouloss 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.

How long before he’s off Breitbart?
They must be under extreme pressure. MY is a major part of why Breitbart became the 29th most popular website.
Pretty obvious now that this was a coordinated attack. Whether or not you like Milo or agree with him, he was gaining a lot of traction for *some* conservative ideas in areas that conservatives have long failed to reach. The left had to stop this, and many on the right were more than willing to help out.
Milo got Pewdiepied.
Deal with it, dahhhhling..!
I cringed when I heard his last podcast.
He made no effort to bash pedophilia.
He was making a point that rape victims do themselves a service to forget the incident and that society perpetuates harm by telling rape victims to be forever angry.
In order to really, really become the counter-culture...
SOME people have to exclude you.
And they’re doing that.
And THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Apparently this is the Twitter feed that ‘broke’ the story - by posting a few year old video from the net. Looks to be a neverTrumper feed:

It’s arguable Milo was talking about his own sexual history. He was 17 and had a sexual relationship (age of consent is 16 in England). Or the age at which he lost his virginity (13).
But, yeah, pedophilia is sick and not something to celebrate. Most homosexuals are victims of child sex abuse, thus disorienting them sexually.
Interesting to see the Leftists bash Milo and go after him on this topic. Flip the political leanings and they’d be screaming ‘homophobe!’
Milo said that grown men prey on teenage boys.
The left will try to destroy him for speaking that truth.
What happened when TWITTER banned him..?
Mmmm...?
And SO IT SHALL BE, this time, also.
Milo got 30 minutes as opposed to the standard 15 minutes.
there have been rumors all day that hes out!
And anyone who thinks its just this one video of him excusing pederasty is clearly confused. There are very ugly stories that may have been brought to his publishers.
You reap what you sow...
If he were politically correct, none of this would be happening.
LOL, I think Milo is up to this challenge.
Milo was going to college campuses and debating the issues. He’s gay so that creates a big disconnect with leftists. He’s funny and smart and was changing minds.
He does represent a big threat. If Republicans go more libertarian on social issues (homosexuality, drugs), they’ll appeal to younger voters. That’s why Milo has to be stopped.
The book deal isn’t a big deal. He can go with a smaller publisher or even self publish. He’s got a fan base and can generate his own sales and likely make much more than the $250k he was promised.
I didn’t think he was that threatening to them. After all he was openly and sometimes grotesquely gay, something the left loves.
Any other publishers on equal footing with Simon and Schuster? Maybe he’ll get a new deal from somebody else.
Or, publish independently.
Wait...S&S is condemning the sexual habits of gays?
And both made themselves vulnerable to it.
Our side doesn’t need someone advocating older men having sexual relationships with boys who have reached puberty but are below the legal age of consent.
