The media will hate you for it. They’ll call you names. They’ll try and smear your reputation. But you needn’t worry—no one is listening to them, except for a small group of their fellow blind, deaf and dumb journalists.
If I could tell my colleagues in the media four things, they would be:
1.Everyone hates you.
2.No one is afraid of you.
3.No one believes what you say.
4.Nobody owes you anything.
If every journalist in America realized those four things, their behavior would transform overnight, immeasurably for the better, and the US might finally get the fourth estate it deserves. In the meantime, all journalists are liars and frauds unless proven otherwise.
Make them earn your trust—including me.

WHY ESTABLISHMENT GAYS HATE ME
These days, people don’t come out as gay. They come out as conservative.
In February 2017, Chadwick Moore, a 33-year-old gay New York journalist, penned an article for The New York Post explaining his rapid shift from Left to Right. The article’s headline? “I’m A Gay New Yorker – and I’m Coming Out As a Conservative.” Just three months prior, Moore had cast his ballot for Hillary Clinton. What happened?
It was simple: Chadwick got too close to the Dangerous Faggot.
In September 2016, Moore had been assigned by Out to write a profile of me. The story was a gem; a rare piece of serious, nuanced journalism from the mainstream gay press. Its tone was largely impartial, describing the facts of my lifestyle, politics, and rise to fame. There was no virtue-signaling or moral grandstanding.
The profile wasn’t completely free of bias (and likely couldn’t be), and it included a trigger warning for fragile gay readers that they might encounter some conservative politics. They dressed me up in a clown costume for the accompanying photo shoot (the article’s title was “Send In The Clown: Internet Supervillain Milo Doesn’t Care That You Hate Him”), and it incorrectly called me a “leader of the alt-right,” as countless other publications had done before. But I was willing to forgive the error, because the rest of it was so good. And I didn’t mind about the clown costume, because I still looked sexy as fuck.
Out was utterly skewered for daring to examine me fairly. In addition to an immediate outbreak of rage on social media, more than 40 gay journalists signed an open letter condemning the magazine for failing to “avoid fostering harm to queer people.”134
Although the letter was directed against me, I admired the feat of getting 40 gay guys to agree on anything. But the gay establishment has gotten so used to trashing conservatives for a living that when one of their number fails to do so, they consider it a hideous betrayal in need of a coordinated response.
The personal attacks against Moore were more severe. Chadwick quickly found himself ostracized by his circle of liberal friends. In his Post coming out story, he described how long-time friends and acquaintances began to turn their backs on him.
My best friend, with whom I typically hung out multiple times per week, was suddenly perpetually unavailable. Finally, on Christmas Eve, he sent me a long text, calling me a monster, asking where my heart and soul went, and saying that all our other friends are laughing at me.
I realized that, for the first time in my adult life, I was outside of the liberal bubble and looking in. What I saw was ugly, lock step, incurious and mean-spirited.135
Moore was becoming “red-pilled,” as we say on the internet. Like Neo in The Matrix, his eyes had been suddenly and dramatically opened to a new reality. Now aware of the Left’s intolerance, Moore had no choice but to reconsider his entire worldview. And that’s how he ended up coming out as a conservative in the pages of The New York Post.
It’s not just Chadwick, either. Other forward thinking gays are also waking up to the dangers of embracing progressive intolerance. Dave Rubin, host of the Rubin Report, which was originally part of the progressive Young Turks network, is another ideological immigrant from the Left. Rubin is a former progressive who sensed the atmosphere of intolerance that was gathering steam in the movement, and now calls himself a classical liberal.
Here’s how Rubin explained his position in a video for the conservative Prager University:
I’m a married gay man, so you might think I appreciate the government forcing a Christian baker or photographer or florist to act against their religion in order to cater, photograph or decorate my wedding. But you’d be wrong. A government that can force Christians to violate their conscience can force me to violate mine.136
Rubin closed his video by conceding that defending his classical liberal values had “suddenly become a conservative position.” It’s my hope—and optimistic belief—that more gays will wake up, smell the intolerance, and come to the same realization.
Gays have been battling intolerance for decades, and only recently won the full support and acceptance of society. And how have we responded? By becoming equally intolerant—not against people who have sex differently from us, but against people who think differently from us. Gays of the log cabin variety get merciless treatment from their peers. The rigid attitudes and prejudices of the fagstablishment will be tough to break down.
Take Lucian Wintrich, a gay Trump-supporting artist and photographer, who in 2016 unveiled a photography series called “Twinks For Trump.” His work featured half-naked, waifish-looking men wearing “Make America Great Again” hats. Just five hours after I wrote a column praising Wintrich for his transgressive art project, he was fired from the New York ad agency where he worked, apparently because so many people had called his office to complain about the photos.137 Thanks to conservative complacency, the art world today is a one-party state.
Undeterred, Wintrich went on to host “Daddy Will Save Us,” the first ever pro-Trump art exhibit, featuring pieces from a range of conservative figures, including me. I bathed naked in a vat of pig’s blood, representing persons who have died at the hands of Islamic extremists and undocumented immigrants.
The response of the Left was to bombard Wintrich’s initial choice of art gallery with complaints, which caused the gallery to panic, cancel the event and even threaten to sue Wintrich.138 A backup venue was found just in time, and the art show went ahead.
Imagine Madonna doing a video with twinks in MAGA hats. She wouldn’t, of course, because these days she’s too busy pandering to man-haters and aging gracelessly than saying anything bold or original.
