Milo Yiannopoulos, the gay conservative and is set to appear on Real Time with Bill Maher, the controversial political talk show from HBO, on Friday night, Feb. 17.

During the broadcast, he will go toe-to-toe with the former host of Politically Incorrect, who is an outspoken Trump critic and was once even the target of a lawsuit from the current president.

Milo has had a meteoric rise in the last two years, breaking into the mainstream for a series of controversial comments that eventually got him banned from Twitter.

While Yiannopoulos claims no responsibility for cyberbullying black comedienne and Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones — he lays that on trolls who took advantage of good-natured criticisms he made about her and the Ghostbusters remake — the incident got his account permanently banned by the microblogging platform.

Currently, he is touring college campuses under the banner of his “Dangerous F***ot” Tour. Past incendiary remarks have included stating that gay people should get back in the closet and that feminism hurts men and women.

On the latest episode of the Milo Yiannopoulos Podcast, which releases most every Friday, Milo said something new that is bound to rile his critics.

Yiannopoulos said he is “not satisfied with how much I’m annoying” them, offering that a new way he intends to do so is to “reveal the whole time I was straight.”

“While I was sucking all that d***, I was just in character,” he mused. “I’m a method actor you see. In order to become straight I have to first” — makes buzzing noise to allude to the controversial practice of gay conversion therapy — “because I’m stuck in a rut.”

Milo continued.

“So I’m making a commitment to you (listeners). To celebrate the election of Donald Trump and Vice President Pence, I’m going to be trying gay conversion therapy just as a general experiment.”

Yiannopoulos said he is considering doing so in front of a camera and then putting it up on YouTube for his viewers to see.

“So who knows? Before you know it, I could be impregnating a skinny blonde and then stabbing her for her shoes.”

Linking the experiment to Pence plays into rumors that Pence is a proponent of the therapy, though as the New York Times finds here, he has not endorsed the controversial procedure. Speculation stems from this previous statement on his website regarding the Ryan White Care Act.

“Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.”

While Milo seemed to have a tongue-in-cheek tone when he said he would be trying gay conversion therapy — listen for yourself at around the 19-minute mark — that does not necessarily mean he will refrain from doing it.

There is precedent for one of Yiannopoulos’ jokes turning into reality as with his idea to start a scholarship where the only applicants being considered would be white males. When the idea started to gain traction, Milo decided to make a go of it.

Recipients will receive $2,500 scholarships.

As for the appearance on Bill Maher tonight, it is not yet clear what the pair will talk about, or how much Yiannopoulos will mix with the other guests. While Maher and Milo could not be further apart on ideologies, they do have significant common ground on the topic of free speech.

Yiannopoulos has ridden a wave of popularity since the UC-Berkeley riots stalled one of the planned stops on his tour. His yet-to-be-released book, Dangerous, from Simon & Schuster sits atop many bestseller charts in spite of some calls to boycott.

What do you think about Milo Yiannopoulos’ latest statement regarding gay conversion therapy, and do you think the practice should be legal?

I became skeptical when I read the therapy is at the Richard Simmons Center.

[geronl]

He is not a conservative.

I've never heard of this center. What kind of reputation do they have?

They say it's quite a workout.

[Cyber Liberty]

He is not a conservative.

He's as conservative as he is straight.

[Sanguine]

Someone else posted a Maher/Milo clip where Milo says he's not a conservative and Trump isn't either.  Hardly news, but he seemed to be very clear about not claiming to be conservative.

It's a joke, Richard Simmons, the exercise weight loss guru.

Anyway, for some overweight folks, Simmons has been an inspiration, away from how he leans which he's never officially declared that I know of but there are rumors and those are probably correct. Even then, I don't think he ever lived that lifestyle too actively.  He's really probably a somewhat repressed personality.

[TomSea]

Mike Pence is certainly more Conservative and has achieved more than most politicians for those dissing Trump; Trump had a lot of Conservative support.

We know the strictest Conservatives we are hearing about have achieved about zilch. Their outlook may be conservative.

he was obviously lying to this reporter to get a rise

And @geronl works for a living, too.  Two things I really respect in a man.

I wish this was true, but I think Milo might be yanking people's chains. If he does want to change he needs to confront the perv that molested him when he was young - no he's never said this I'm just going by anecdotal info. Almost all of the homosexuals I know we're molested as children. Anyhow, a good Greek boy like Milo can find all the help he needs at his church. If his church is anything like the Greek church in my neck of the woods, they'll make the perv disappear for him.

There's a sucker born every minute.



And there was a whole boom of them at some point in the past.

[Silver Pines]

He wants to change about as much as I want to date Trump.

Even in that interview with Tucker Carlson, he couldn't keep his mouth shut about  the "black men in his bedroom."  On social media he's far more explicit about what he does with them.

It's amazing that so many have been suckered by this guy.  He's laughing his butt off.

[SirLinksALot]

I think Milo is playing everyone as he often does.

There are even some gay folks who suspect that he isn't really gay.

Suckered only if they're losing something.

@SirLinksALot

Freepers think that, too, which should tell you something.

I've never seen a straight man describe in detail his gay sex acts on other men.  Milo's just like the bitchy, drama-queen gays I worked with.

[Silver Pines]

So-called conservatives are accusing those who won't gush over this fraud of being "homophobic", a term they once refused to recognize.  When a person tosses his principles and his integrity overboard and makes a damn fool of himself in the bargain, I'd say he's lost quite a bit.

Last year Ben Shapiro's wife gave birth to a son.  On the day the child was born, Milo tweeted a photo of a black infant to Shapiro with a message of "prayers and sympathy because you had to watch your baby come out black."

Yiannopolous is a piece of garbage.

[Suppressed]

And, to my knowledge, not a dime of the "white male scholarship" fund he solicited has ever been disbursed.

They're being effectively liberalized.

@SirLinksALot

I'd say you're correct.

Here's a video of Milo in his own words defending pederasty, and how such relationships are beneficial to the younger of the parties.  At the end of video: "Do you know what, I'm grateful for Father Michael.  I wouldn't give nearly such good h**d if it wasn't for him."

There you have it.  He'll put it on his youtube channel and get all of the attention he wants all the while cashing in on the number of viewers.  Ka-ching!
