Milo Yiannopoulos is a controversial conservative figurehead often associated with the alt-right movement in the US. He has however said he does not identify as a member of the alt-right.

  • Who is Milo Yiannopoulos?

    Who is Milo Yiannopoulos?

    The controversial speaker who has made a fortune from campus tours, writing and speaking out against political correctness. So what do we know about Milo Yiannopoulos?

    Speaker Milo Yiannopoulos was born 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.

    Tours, Book deals and writing

    Since the mid-2010’s Milo has embarked on numerous speaking tours of the US, addressing, as he sees it the liberal left and political correctness. He was employed by the right-wing news outlet, Breitbart until he left following comments he made about child abuse. His major campus tour, The Dangerous Faggot Tour was met with protests and boycotts. A speech he was due to make at a British school was cancelled after the Department for Education warned against the talk.

    In 2016 he announced that he signed a major book deal with an imprint of Simon & Schuster. The deal was reportedly worth $250,000. The book, Dangerous, was later dropped by the publisher but released on his own label, become a best seller in the US.

    Is Milo Yiannopoulos gay?

    Yes but maybe no?

    Somewhat controversially Milo has said that he “chose” to be gay.

    In a column for 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 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.”

    He also doesn’t consider there to a debate surrounding the idea that you are born gay. He told THEGAYUK.com, “I thought the only people who believe in 100% nurture are the poor fools who think a man can suddenly decide he is a woman”.

    Alt-right?

    Although he often associated with the alt-right political movement, Milo has stated that he does not identify as an alt-right speaker and has demanded public apologies from news outlets who have incorrectly identified him. He told THEGAYUK.com that “It’s a baseless lie. The alt-right went from being a group with wide-ranging views to an ever-narrowing clutch of politically inconsequential losers. They hate my guts and they’re far too faggy for me”.

    Politically speaking Milo says he’s “cultural libertarian“.

    Milo regularly speaks out against feminism, social justice, Islam and political correctness.

    Is Milo married?

    Yes, indeed Milo got married  to a man, known only as John in 2017. Upon marrying John, Milo claimed he was the worst racist ever, this because John is a person of colour.

    Outspoken?

    Milo’s takes on various subjects has made him a love or hate personality. However, he has attracted the ire of some social media platforms. In 2016 he was banned by Twitter after they determined that he had abused another member of the community. That hasn’t stopped him from amassing huge numbers of fans on Facebook and Instagram. Currently, his Facebook page has over 2,300,000 million fans and his Instagram has nearly 380,000 fans.

  • A restaurant just served something that looks utterly gross to Milo Yiannopoulos

    The Cheesecake Factory allegedly served Milo Yiannopoulos this dish – that doesn’t look like it’s supposed to look like.

    Controversial journalist and speaker, Milo Yiannopoulos shared a photo of food that was served to him in a restaurant in South Miami. The item, which is supposed to be topped with melted white cheddar cheese, looked as though it had actually been spat or ejaculated in. He commented the photo “I was just served this”. He tagged the photo from The Cheesecake Factory in South Miami.

    The item he was served was supposed to be the Grilled Steak Tacos served with black beans and melted white cheddar cheese, according to the Cheesecake Factory.

    The post has been “liked” nearly 13,400 times and attracted thousands of comments. One commenter wrote that Milo should report the outlet to the authorities as it is a felony to tamper with someone’s food. Other users have pushed for Milo to sue the food outlet.

    I was just served this.

    Another user, savannahskyebruner, who works in the restaurant industry wrote, “As a full time food handler in the restaurant industry, I take pride in my work. Regardless of who I serve, it’s business as usual and always remains professional. This is absolutely vile and that/those employee(s) responsible should be fired”.

    The Cheesecake Factory replied on Instagram saying “Thanks for dining at The Cheesecake Factory. We’re so pleased to hear from our manager that you enjoyed your Grilled Steak Tacos served with black beans and melted white cheddar cheese. Please DM us if you need anything else.”.

  • Milo Yiannopoulos marries black boyfriend and declares himself ‘worst white supremacist ever’

    The ever controversial Milo Yiannopoulos has called himself the ‘worst white supremacist ever’ after marrying his partner.

    Milo just married his boyfriend, John,  in Hawaii over the weekend and in response to his detractors, some who have called the controversialist a white supremacist in the past, blasted his critics saying he must be the worst white supremacist… ever. Posting about his wedding on Instagram, Milo was at pains to reveal his new husband’s identity by obscuring his face or revealing his surname in pictures he published.

    The reception took place at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Saturday.

    His now, husband wore a white jacket, which had “Blind For Love” inscribed on the back, whilst Milo wore, in typical camp flamboyance, a floral print Gucci jacket.

    Milo then captioned a post as “WORST WHITE SUPREMACIST EVER” after the Daily Mail released a story about the writer captioned, “alt-right poster boy”.

    Most lied about person in the US.

    Furthering the conversation about his private and public life, Milo went on to suggest that he must “be the most lied-about person in America”, calling reports about him marrying a Muslim man an “utter fabrication”.

    He said,

    “I must be the most lied-about person in America. Every day it’s something new. This week the press has invented a lie that my new husband is Muslim. It came completely out of nowhere. I don’t know why they are claiming this. I’ve seen it in a dozen press reports so far. Just an utter fabrication, never checked by anyone, billowing out into the internet and becoming “established fact” despite being totally untrue. This is how the media works, and it’s why you can’t trust a word they say”.

     

  • Milo Yiannopoulos: There’s a sex tape with me and film star

    The controversial speaker and writer Milo Yiannopoulos has revealed there’s a sex tape with him and a Hollywood film star.

    Milo Yiannopoulos has confirmed that there is a sex tape of a Hollywood actor  “going down” on him – that he might consider releasing, although the author has remained tight-lipped about who the star is. The writer said the video dated back to 2008.

    In 2016 Milo announced that he would release a sex tape if Donald Trump became the President. In a recent conversation with THEGAYUK.com Milo joked that he was trying to get his fiance to make a sex tape, but if all fails that he would have to release a clip of the unnamed famous actor performing oral sex on him.

    He said,

    “I’m still trying to convince my fiance to do the tape…

    If I can’t pull it off, I’ll just have to release the clip of a Hollywood actor going down on me in 2008.”

    So just who is this mystery Hollywood actor?

    Meanwhile, Milo has released a book called Dangerous which entered on the New York Times best seller’s list. The book was originally meant to be released by an imprint of the major book publisher Simon & Schuster. However, the British-born author ended up releasing the book on his own label, Dangerous Books.

  • Milo Yiannopoulos’ book is on the The New York Times’ best sellers list

    Like it or lump it, Milo’s book just sold a lot of quantity.

    It seems as though people can’t get enough of the controversial commentator Milo Yiannoulous – so much so his book came 2nd in the combined physical and digital list on the New York Times Book Review list and number 3 on the USA Today best sellers list.

    He took to Instagram to boast huge sales of his nonfiction title Dangerous and claims that he’s managed to shift over 100,000 copies of his book – 18,000 of those are hardback.

    Speaking about the mixed news about actual sales, Milo told his fans,

    “I’m happy to report that this is fake news. It’s true that the major booksellers only managed to ship out 18,000 copies to retail customers by the list cut-off. But that’s because they didn’t order enough ahead of time, and have been scrambling to play catch-up ever since. The real news is that we’ve received wholesale orders and direct orders of such magnitude that our entire stock of 105,000 books is already accounted for”.

    The book has been released under a publisher by the name of Dangerous Books after major publisher Simon & Schuster decided to pull the plug on the book following comments made by Milo on child abuse.

    As it stands the book is at number #1340 on the Amazon Best Seller’s rank – but currently number in Political Humour.

  • Milo Yiannopoulos’s book pre-orders are HUGE

    Regardless of what you think about Milo Yiannopoulos, the interest in his forthcoming book, Dangerous has been enormous.

    According to Milo, there have been 65,000 preorders for his controversial book, Dangerous. This is despite no interviews carried by the mainstream media. Taking to social media to unveil a huge advert for the book,  the writer said, “65,000 preorders and counting. Number of mainstream media interviews: zero”.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BVz9O23AleF/?taken-by=milo.yiannopoulos&hl=en

    The advert was placed just one block away from his former publisher’s offices.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BVz3RhHgD8q/?taken-by=milo.yiannopoulos&hl=en

    The book is now being published by “Dangerous Books” after it was pulled by Simon and Schuster following a controversy over comments made by Milo, over child abuse. A statement from the publisher said, “After careful consideration, Simon & Schuster and its Threshold Editions imprint have cancelled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos.”

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BV03Cu-Algi/?taken-by=milo.yiannopoulos&hl=en

    Within weeks the right-wing commentator said that he had managed to secure $12 million in investment for a new media venture. In a statement, the former Breitbart writer said that he had formed a new media company, called MILO inc, and said that the venture had attracted $12 million in investment. The funding has come from undisclosed investors.

     

     

  • Milo has clear message for his ex publisher

    Nothing says F U like a T-shirt

    The Internet’s “most fabulous supervillain”, Milo Yiannopoulous has a clear message for his former book publisher Simon and Schuster. The publisher was originally going to publish his book, Dangerous, but dropped it after a huge online backlash following comments made by Milo over child abuse. In February the publisher released a statement saying that its Threshold imprint, had “cancelled publication” after “careful consideration”.

    The publisher is thought to have spent over $250,000 on the book but hasn’t confirmed those rumours.

    Taking to his Instagram account, Milo showcased a new line of merch – which included a T-shirt that has the slogan, “f**k simon & schuster” emblazoned on the front.

  • Milo reckons he has $12 million investment for new media venture

    Milo Yiannopoulos has revealed that he raised $12 million (£9.2 million) in investment for a new media business.

    The outspoken commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has revealed that he’s managed to secure over £9 million in investment for a new media venture, which will include books, tours and TV shows.

    In a statement released on Instagram, the former Breitbart writer said that he had formed a new media company, called MILO inc, and said that the venture had attracted $12 million in investment. The funding has come from undisclosed investors.

    The new company will employ 30 people including a “seasoned media exec” who will lead the company from its Miami base.

    Speaking about the venture, Milo said,

    “This isn’t some vanity nameplate on a personal blog. This is a fully tooled-up talent factory and management company dedicated to the destruction of political correctness and the progressive left.

    “I will spend every waking moment of the rest of my life making the lives of journalists, professors, politicians, feminists, Black Lives Matter activists and other professional victims a living hell.

    “Free speech is back — and it is fabulous.”

    Earlier in the year, Milo was at the centre of a controversy when a video emerged of him allegedly talking about men having sex with underage boys. The following fallout saw the writer resigning from Breitbart and his book deal with Simon Schuster fell through.

    Speaking at the time he said,

    “I do not advocate for illegal behavior. I explicitly say on the tapes that I think the current age of consent is ‘about right’.”

    “I do not believe sex with 13-year-olds is okay. When I mentioned the number 13, I was talking about the age I lost my own virginity.

    “I shouldn’t have used the word “boy” — which gay men often do to describe young men of consenting age — instead of “young man.” That was an error.”

    A short while he stated that he thought, after a few months that the controversy would be a “distant memory”.

    Another publisher is reportedly ready to publish his book, Dangerous.

     

     

     

  • Milo Yiannopolous’s views on being bullying for being gay are worrying

    Outspoken right-wing commentator, Milo Yiannopoulos has shared an article from 2011 – in which school children were advised to act less gay if they were bullied.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BSuNOobFqbT/?taken-by=milo.yiannopoulos&hl=en

    Former writer for Breitbart, Milo Yiannopolous has a pretty worrying view on children being bullied for being gay. He shared a story from the Evening Standard which was first published in 2011, where the headline advises that children were being told to be “less gay” if they are being bullied. Well, it seems that he agrees with the sentiment.

    Firstly, who the hell has a cut out from a 2011 paper? Hoarding much?

    Secondly, Milo is well known for revelling in his own campery and gayness especially during his “Dangerous Faggot” campus tour last year.

    He shared the post with his 210,000 followers on Instagram and captioned the picture “NOT WRONG”.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BSnAyKAgYAv/?taken-by=milo.yiannopoulos&hl=en

    The post received a mix of reactions, but many agreed with the idea that children should “act less gay” with some even going as far as to say that people should stop being gay altogether.

    Shame Milo shame.
