He did not advocate pedophilia. Pedophilia is sex with a pre-pubescent child. He denounced that in no uncertain terms.
He did, however, discuss the difficulties experienced by persons like himself who were seduced under the age of consent but after the age of puberty, which is defined as hebephilia in early teens and ephebophilia in older teens. These are clinically different thresholds than pedophila, as he has attempted to clarify, being himself a victim of sexual molestation and statutory rape, and obviously struggling to come to terms with it.
Ordinarily, the left adores victims and encourages them to use their condition to batter, blame, sue and denounce society but never to put it behind them -- instead, they must make their victimization an "identity." And the right prides itself on compassion for victims, along with wanting victims not to wallow, but to achieve healing and renewal. But because Milo is rejecting the left's "born that way" battering ram, progressives despise him and want to destroy him. And because the right is in large part ignorant about many of the yucky aspects of illegal underage sex, many react with blanket condemnation instead of learning how or why to be appropriately compassionate.
While he has said some great things in defense of conservatism, his sexual deviation kinda disqualifies him from speaking for us.
He has never accepted the label of "conservative", so what is your point? But to the extent that he rejects the fundamental untruths being put forward by Political Correctness, Marxist social theory and the complicit media, and to the extent that he admires and upholds the uniquely American right to free speech (even his native UK has no equivalent to our First Amendment), he is helpful to "the right."
Being grateful for his voice does not make one also gay or in favor of the gay political agenda; even Milo is not in favor of the gay political agenda other than being allowed to engage in the lifestyle with other consenting adults without being jailed or violently persecuted for it. Appreciating the pro-free speech message delivered by an imperfect vessel actually is more conservative than the shut-it-down message to speech hated by the fascist left, who demand obedience to their version of social justice.
We who believe in the freedoms of conscience and the rest of the Bill of Rights are not so quick to condemn a person who openly admits he is conflicted about his ow sexuality and who has rejected the homosexual political agenda over and over.
I haven’t condemned Milo. I’m just saying that we should be careful finding solidarity with someone who supports man-boy sexual relationships, provided they are consensual and the boy is post-pubescent.
