Jay'La Sims - Milo Yiannopoulos resurrected a dangerous old myth about gay men and pedophilia

SUMMARY: Over the weekend, it was revealed that Yiannopoulos was invited to give a speech at the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the biggest mainstream conservative conference in America. Shortly after, the conservative website Reagan Battalion resurfaced video footage of Yiannopoulos defending the idea of “13 year olds” having sex with “older men,” referencing his ownstory that he benefited from a priest molesting him when he was a teenager. This is part of Yiannopoulos’s shtick: Say something inflammatory to anger a whole lot of people and get widespread media attention. This time, though, it isn’t working in his favor; CPAC’s organizers rescinded their invitation in response to mounting pressure to cancel Yiannopoulos’s speech, and his publishers canceled their book deal with him.

ANALYSIS: People like Milo make me sick. I am glad this thing didn't work in his favor. I also find it funny how he was going to speak at a conservative congress. I wonder if this will make people hate conservatives even more but probably not because they saved their reputation by kicking him. I am thankful his book deal is canceled and he's facing consequences.
