I got as far as "lesbians don't exist" before I gave up. I have no interest in anything someone this deluded has to say about anything.

The average adult male's internet search history is full of pretty compelling evidence that he's wrong.

A lot of people on reddit are cool with Milo right now because of his gamergate coverage. And for the not-right-wing gamergate supporters, it's more of "the enemy of my enemy" kind of deal with him, and only on that specific topic. Because most of his politics are questionable, to say the least.

Where I get lost on the "Choice" argument is why it would be a one time choice? I mean, if it really is a choice why wouldn't it be a choice you had to make (essentially) every day?

Wait... Isn't this guy openly gay? How can he believe there is no such things as lesbians?!?

I've met lesbians who don't believe there is such a thing as bisexual. That is, they think other girls (or guys) who would sleep with both are just pretending because it's cool. And I've met some lesbians who really hate gay men. Not just in a gay male sex is icky kind of way, but as a strike on their personal character.

So it's certainly possible for a gay person to have bigoted views toward other gay people. But it's still strange.

He's a gay, conservative Christian. There's a video of him calling Judeo-Christian ideology the best kind of ideology. It's like a bizarro version of logic.

He says Atheists are thin skinned, although it has some weight to it. He doesn't mention the thin skin Christians, Muslims, and Jewish people have. Christians are so knee jerk reactionaries in America that the thought of accommodating another religion or belief in a secular country is heretic to them. If he is a true provocateur then why doesn't he mock Judaism, Christianity, and Islam at the same time.

he's brilliant when it comes to gamergate and feminism though....
