Treating it like it's a disease sends a message to gay youth that is pretty fucked up. It's attitudes like that which contribute to the homophobia in this country--like it or not. And it contributes to the high number of suicide attempts of gay youth. So Milo can go fuck himself with a rusty razor blade. And so can anyone else that treats it like a disease.

I mean...it's kinda weird that he views his own homosexuality as a problem needing to be fixed, but then makes statements "as a gay man," as if he's speaking for the gay perspective.

That I do agree with, I just think he's one person with some silly hypocritical opinions (and some others that actually do make sense to me, being honest) and I really don't care about him much.
I'm not outraged he's saying this shit. I disagree yes, and I'd argue against it rationally, but I think to get angry about it just feeds him.

Ditto - but I also know that a lot of people do have huge problems with what he says/what he represents, especially since he can influence folks who are otherwise ignorant on certain subjects.

Currently has been bumped up to number one on Amazon at the time I'm posting this haha! The labels those on the left come up with has resulted in the boy who cried wolf syndrome. The labels have been so diluted and really meaningless, that they are worn as a badge of honor and embraced and laughed off as silly liberals grasping at straws. I'm a fan of Milo and enjoys his mocking of the SJWs who constantly try and shut down his speech. He is a product and result of the SJWs movement.
Just read through the huffington post about this book deal, and you will see all sorts of comments to now boycott Simon and Schuster, the book publisher. It's almost like the left has had a blessing of protection removed, and everything they touch turns to shit. The more they feel the need to be offended, the more they call attention to the opposition, and introduce people to their enemy and those people tend to agree with their enemy because the SJWs is such an unattractive movement.
If anyone is interested in learning more about him, check out the youtube channel:

So you run to the right wing version of an SJW who does the same games and the same witchhunts?
This is the same shithead who was kicked off of Twitter for being so obvious in organizing harassment against some actress.
Anti-PC doesn't mean "Act like PC, but explicitly endorse the opposite opinion".

His platform is to counter the SJW extreme left while antagonizing them. He's entertaining, but I think Ben Shapiro does a better job, and much more eloquent.
I really like Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux from Rebel media. Ever heard of either of those two?

I do enjoy Blaire White's commentary on SJWs as well (she's a transwoman YouTuber who is frustrated by The Left's hijacking and politicisation of LGBT identities). I'd post a vid of hers but this forum has changed it's formatting on embedding YouTube vids and I don't know how to do it anymore.
FTR I don't agree with a lot of what these people have to say, especially in regards to their total tarring of feminism with a bad rap. I do see legitimacy in their critique of childish offense-taking culture though. I think it's important to have this criticism and satire, in an age where this runaway offense-taking is truly bringing on a treading-on-eggshells society.

Kind of a Stockholm syndrome. It's on the same lines as christian gays trying to advertise gay conversion therapy. Society makes them feel dirty and they do everything to suck up to society because they're afraid of letting lose.
