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 publisher’s 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. Yiannopoulos’s “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.

Trust me, Milo will now get twice as big an advance.
Someone warn MILO!
By midnight.
THO at this point he’ll probably be invited back to Berkeley and greeted with open arms.
“Most Americans” couldn’t name the Vice President.
Milo does seem to be attracting all kinds of fire from the left. (1) Breitbart is a major target of theirs (2) Bannon (3) he has a younger audience (The_Donald) crowd.
It was on one of the three Milo threads today. I never actually went to it. Lemme look around

In other words, a recent Ivy League graduate?
Wow.
I will grant that the implications are indeed different from the two sexes, but still, I thought we had moved via political correctness beyond that sort of position.
Again, are you or have you been a nevertrumper? Yes or No? Stop dodging.
Blaze, Weekly Standard, and National Review are serious NeverTrumpers.
Rest of those are solid conservative that I recognize.
Yup
What put Milo on the map were the evil riots at Berkeley. He wasn’t responsible for that but that also doesn’t make him Abe Lincoln or George Washington with his cherry tree. He was always a flawed character to be taken up by the right. I’ve been attacked about him by his supporters here for a year now. I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen.
I tried to give him the doubt but he says three times on the tape that sex with a 13-year old is not pedophilia & that some 13-year olds are “sexually aware” enough to make an informed decision.
Er, no. And as much as I like what Milo is doing on campuses, he isn’t as smart as I thought he was by saying this.
I was a pro-Trump when you were still running around in short pants, you jackass.
Boy, you sure hate him.
He is/was a terrific asset to our side.
Let’s not forget that Trump gave Peter Thiel a prime speaking spot at the convention.
10-4
Breitbart shows any weakness here they are finished.
F@%k the communists.
Milo is in the ditch with McCain now.
I am pro-Trump and pro his administration and ignore his distractors and his feeble friends like Milo who embarrassingly calls him “Daddy”. I guess you like that, right? Give me Diamond and Silk, anyday. Americans with that great, brash sense of humor!
I do not hate Milo but I don’t respect him either. Perhaps if other freepers knew the gay community like I do, they’d be a little skeptical of this guy as I am.
