Would it be possible for you to summarise, in point form, the main elements of the video you agree with?
My assumption is that you do...
Could you confirm that that is correct?
Is there anything which you don't agree with?

Milo Yiannopoulos?
Not sure what to make of him so far:
-He is obviously an extreme exhibitionist who loves the limelight...
-I would say he is definitely a Narcissist...
-He has balls which is indicated by his preparedness in facing the extreme hatred he engenders...
-He is very articulate...
-He expresses a unique form of extreme right-wing politics...
-He sees himself using the extreme tools of his far left wing adversaries against them...

Interesting character...

Milo Yiannopoulos is a right-wing nihilist, just like most Trump supporters.
He laughs and throws peanuts at left-wing extremists, while ignoring the more sensible voices on the left.

I imagine he has his reasons for being outrageous, not least of all the publicity he gets for his antics...

BTW, he scares a lot of conservatives too, I understand...
And entertains others when he counters/pisses-off extreme violent left-wing activists...
Perhaps a bit of catharsis happening there... :mrgreen:

Personally, I have no time for either/any violent extremist group...
They let their infernal internal emotional reptile take control of their thinking...
Never a good thing...

He's also openly gay, making him the right's token homosexual. That way, they could say they really weren't homophobic, because they had Milo on their side! I speak in the past tense, because he has since fallen from grace with the right, and to they all turned on him like a pack of hyenas.

Is being gay still an issue in America?
Not a big thing here in Oz that I can see...
Our culture is more secular than you guys, I believe...

I wasn't aware he was dumped by the right...
He was one of the few beacons of freedom of speech in the known universe...
His political incorrectness was the great white hope of all free-thinking individuals who haven't been bludgeoned into submission by those left-wing violent savages... :evil: :wink:

OMG!...
Did I just make a political statement?!
Did I finally burst my political cherry?!
You guys are a bad influence on me...:mrgreen:

Yep. "Being gay" is still an issue in the US. They are attacked by homophobe types on a rather frequent basis here in New York City. Moreover, the "religious right" has serious issues with homosexuality as it pertains to the "morality" of it.

Unfortunately, it is still a matter here in America, though more so in some places and among certain groups than others. For instance, it's much less condemned in my part of the country, the Pacific Northwest, while it's something constantly obsessed about in the Bible Belt.
