    Milo Yiannopoulos the self-styled poster child of the conservative youth in America is finding out that he doesn’t have many supporters in the UK. Scores of people have taken to Twitter to troll the troll with his name becoming a trending tag on the social network after appearing on Channel 4.

    Milo, who was a very vocal supporter of Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, has proved to be a divisive character whose thoughts on feminism among other hot topics have proved very unpopular.

    Milo’s Twitter profile was first unverified and then suspended earlier this year, following a spat with Ghostbuster actor Leslie Jones.

    Cathy Newman was generally praised for her handling of Milo during their interview after he told her that the modern version of feminism was “modern, ugly, spiteful & vindictive”.

    Obviously when a celebrity sex tape drops we’re interested (from a purely educational stance) in watching it – and my-my there’s certainly been a few celeb leaks in the last month (Sam Callahan, Ben Cohen, Shayne Ward), but one of gay twitter’s most hated, Milo Yiannopoulos, has announced that he’ll release a sex tape if Donald Trump wins the US election next week.

    The English-born conservative has already pledged his allegiance to Donald Trump – even so far as to call him “Daddy”.

    Milo has attracted a lot of criticism, because of his political views, and his Twitter account was first unverified and then suspended in July.

    He is currently on an US tour in which he’s outlined his thoughts on the trans community, including the opinion that they are “mentally ill”.

    According to a transcript of the speech published on the conservative outlet, Breitbart Milo said, “They are deeply mentally damaged, and they are failed by a liberal establishment obsessed with making them feel good about themselves.”

    The 31-year-old social commentator, who was first unverified and then banned from Twitter in July 2016 often uses his homosexuality as the basis for his political stances or arguments, however, he has stated that he choose to be gay – he says to make his parents angry.

    He was raised in the UK in a small town near Kent and attended the University of Manchester but dropped out. He also attended the Wolfson College in Cambridge but dropped out of that too.

    In 2015 he began a University campus tour called, “The Dangerous Faggot Tour”. The tour took place in the United States and the UK, with many of the UK’s appearances cancelled – and most of his speeches were met with protests.

    In 2015 the journalist claimed he would “cure” his homosexuality if he could. According to Raw Story, Yiannopoulos said,

    “If I could choose, I wouldn’t be a homosexual. That doesn’t make me self-loathing.”

    In a column, in Breitbart the 6-foot journalist and commentator  also claimed that he “chose to be gay” when he was 15 where he lost his ” virginity in a fivesome with two boys and two girls.” He said that he “only plumped for homosexuality to irritate my parents”.

    In 2016 he held a “Gays for Trump” rally, wearing a bulletproof vest to debate gun laws.

  • 6 things we learnt this week: Judge Rinder is hot, Mary’s left the building and homophobia in Hollywood still exists

    This week we’ve learnt a lot. From Mary Berry to Judge Rinder… Here’s 6 things that got our readers talking. (now with added emjois)

     

    ? The Judge’s hot chest

    Judge Rinder, who usually spends his TV time covered head to toe in his courtroom robes wowed fans with his surprisingly ripped torso. He also wowed the judges in his first dance of the competition on Strictly. We didn’t mind.

     

    ? Hollywood’s Homophobia

    Ira Sachs surprised us by talking about homophobia in Hollywood – the worst of it is that gay men are apparently the culprits.

     

    ? Not following the breadcrumbs

    Mary Berry shocked the internet when she announced that she wasn’t following Bake Off to it’s new home on Channel 4, leaving people to suspect that Channel 4 has basically bought a £75 million tent and Paul Hollywood.

     

    ? Out got Ousted.

    The decision to profile Milo Yiannopoulos got the internet sort of mad. Flames and fury were aimed at US magazine Out, who even added an editorial to basically say … “He’s not us…”

     

    ? Ever wondered what a Vajazzle would look like on a guy?

    Now you don’t have to wonder anymore – it’s actually called a PeJazzle and X Factor’s Ottavio was more than happy to share his with the world.

     

    ? The internet melted when it thought that Robert Pattinson had come out as gay…

    A spoof news site told the world that Twilight star Robert Pattinson had come out as gay and the ensuing dramz that followed was like the world was coming to an end. Not really. Most commentators seemed to say, “I knew it!”.  BTW he didn’t come out it was a “hilarious” ruse.

    Conservative Gay Journalist Milo Yiannopoulos Is Unverified By Twitter

    Controversial gay journalist Milo Yiannopoulos has had his verified status revoked by Twitter. Twitter erupts with JeSuisMilo in response.

    With more than 133,000 followers on Twitter, Milo Yiannopoulos is probably one of the most famous out journalists on the platform but has had his verified status revoked by Twitter.

    Verified is a system by which Twitter verifies that the account belongs to the person or people the account says it belongs to. Verified accounts are distinguishable by a little blue tick that appears on the Twitter profile of a verified account.

    Milo Yiannopoulos, who operated from the account handle @Nero had his verified status revoked after he apparently “violated twitter rules.”

    Yiannopoulos responded to the suspension of his blue badge by saying that he had been sat at the “naughty table” and that, “Twitter is gearing up to purge conservatives. Unverifying me is the first step toward a permanent ban.”

    Milo Yiannopoulos came to public attention after launching The Kernel, an online tech magazine which was eventually bought by The Daily Dot. and for his reporting in The Telegraph.

    Twitter has not responded to call from the media for comment.
