In 1981, Billie Jean King became the first major female athlete to come out of the closet. For example, in 1976, Elton John divulged in an interview that he was bi-sexual and his career suffered for a while as a consequence. To be sure, a number of celebrities who just happened to be gay preceded him. Inasmuch as Milo Yiannopoulos is a genuine gay celebrity, his memoir has been highly anticipated. Instead, all his critics managed to accomplish was to “piss me off.” Marshaling together a number of investors, he managed to self-publish his book-Dangerous-which rocketed to number one on Amazon’s bestsellers list even before its release, and at the time of this writing it is near the top of both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
In his own words, Milo almost gave up on his mission, but decided not to back down after the support he received from his many fans. And what seemed to have been a maneuver to spare a revolt at Breitbart News, Milo gracefully resigned from his position as tech editor with his employer. To make matters worse, soon thereafter, Simon & Shuster cancelled the publication of his book for which it had given a $250,000 advance just a month before.
Once the interview gained notoriety, CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) quickly rescinded its invitation to Yiannopoulos to serve as the organization’s keynote speaker at its 2017 annual convention. On the show, he seemingly spoke fondly of his experience as 13-year old minor when he had had sex with a priest. In February of 2017 many people had written Milo Yiannopoulos off after it transpired that he had given an interview on a 2015 Joe Rogan podcast, which was construed by some listeners as a defense of pederasty.
