I can’t believe how many serious commentators have fallen for the latest epic troll by Milo Yiannopoulos. Every word out of his mouth is obvious satire, yet religious and non-religious commentators alike have shown their incredible ignorance by taking what he has announced at face value.

Many of the religious commentators, I suspect, had never even heard of Milo until he decided to grab the media by the short and curlies when he announced that he is now an ex-gay.

Milo is well known as a fabulous gay conservative provocateur and he was cancelled a few years back and lost most of his income because of it. At the time, he warned that all the other conservative commentators would be next, and he of course was right as one by one conservative commentators are being cancelled.

Not long after his fall from grace, he married his husband to live happily ever after until he concocted his latest provocation that everyone seems to be falling for.

I can just imagine him giggling over a drink with his husband and concocting the troll. “Why don’t I say that conversion therapy helped me to change my ways and that you are now just my flatmate?” ” They would never fall for it Milo.” “Of course they would darling, do you doubt my power?”

Milo even leaves satirical little clues in his statements that others must be blind to miss. Little jokes that show that he is taking the proverbial. How can anyone think that an ex-gay would stay married to his gay husband and they would live as celibate flatmates? Seriously?

The former Brietbart [sic] editor went on to describe his so-called coming out as the lifting of a “veil”, although he admitted that his husband might not be pleased at being demoted to the role of “housemate”.

“It helps that I can still just about afford to keep him in Givenchy and a new Porsche every year. Could be worse for him, I guess,” said Mr Yiannopoulos.

Although he allegedly hinted in his book, “Dangerous”, that might be “coming out” as straight in the future, Mr Yiannopoulos’s interview with LifeSite marked the first time the far-right commentator had claimed he was “ex-gay” in an interview that marks such a U-turn for the firebrand it could almost be read as satire.

That’s because it is satire, you idiots! Milo and his husband must be sniggering into their cornflakes every morning at how the media have taken the bait: hook, line and sinker.
