The swift recent reversal of Yiannopoulos’s fortunes is in many ways illuminating. Instead, it was his discussion of the complexities of his sexual experiences with adults as a gay teenager that caused Milo Yiannopoulos to lose his $250,000 book deal with Simon and Schuster. It wasn’t that he mocked a transgender college student in front of a crowd, saying he’d still almost bang her because she looked like a man.
It wasn’t that he encouraged people to “ Purge the Illegals” and gave out ICE’s hotline number at a presentation.
It wasn’t that he told a woman there was something wrong with her for wearing a hijab in America.
