Milo Yiannopoulos.
Because, of course, it will be.
The right-wing provocateur was officially named grand marshal for Boston’s “Straight Pride” parade after Brad Pitt threatened to sue organizers for using him to promote the event last week.
John Hugo, the president of Super Happy Fun America told the Boston Herald that Pitt “was not super happy” about them using his name and likeness without consent.
“I really like his movies and his lawyers sent us a letter asking us to take his stuff down but, you know, you’re allowed to do satire,” Hugo said.

So the group asked Yiannopoulos, who is openly gay, to be the face of their “Straight Pride” parade instead. And, naturally, he said yes.
In a statement released by the group, Yiannopoulos says:
I might technically be a sequined and perfectly coiffed friend of Dorothy’s, but I’ve spent my entire career advocating for the rights of America’s most brutally repressed identity — straight people — so I know a thing or two about discrimination.
This parade is a gift to anyone, male or female, black or white—gay and transgender allies, too!—who will stand with us and celebrate the wonder and the majesty of God’s own heterosexuality. Men, bring your most toxic selves. Women, prepare to burn your briefcases! Because it’s great to be straight, and we’re not apologizing for it any more. We’re Here, Not Queer.
The parade is tentatively scheduled for August 31.

The bigots always give themselves away. Notice how they CLAIMED they aren’t right wingers etc… but as soon as they can, they bring in the right wing poster child for whiney conservative victimhood?

I feel like I need to take a shower and stay away from the Boston area during Labor Day weekend.

This is pretty much a troll job by attention whores obsessed with being “subversive” and by self-hating faags. And of course, social media and the mainstream media fell for it as usual and actually gave them the attention and momentum they craved. But hopefully all these latest statements and the people they’re deciding to highlight will lead to the people who are actually supporting to crap to realize it’s driven by nothing more than bitterness and resentment and trolling.

I am NOT defending Milo, but he is not a pedo, but he approves of people having sex with “emotionally mature” teens. Splitting hairs but still. DRAMAAAAAAA!
ms- yes, but the media doesn’t report on those because it doesn’t make people feel some kind of way, other than indifferent.

He’s bankrupt and needs money. Can you blame him?
