Milo Yiannopoulos 21 hrs I am a gay man, and a child abuse victim I would like to restate my utter disgust at adults who sexually abuse minors I am horrified by p--------- and I have devoted large portions of my career as a journalist to exposing child abusers. I've outed three of them, in fact- three more than most of my critics. And l've repeatedly expressed disgust at p--------- in my feature and opinion writing. My professional record is very clear But I do understand that these videos, even though some of them are edited deceptively, paint a different picture I'm partly to blame. My own experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, "advocacy." I deeply regret that. People deal with things from their past in different ways As to some of the specific claims being made, sometimes things tumble out of your mouth on these long, late-night live-streams, when everyone is spit balling, that are incompletely expressed or not what you intended Nonetheless, I've reviewed the tapes that appeared last night in their proper full context and I don't believe they say what is being reported I do not advocate for illegal behavior. I explicitly say on the tapes that I think the current age of consent is "about right." I do not believe sex with 13-year-olds is okay. When I mentioned the number 13, I was talking about the age I lost my own virginity I shouldn't have used the word "boy"- which gay men often do to describe young men of consenting age instead of "young man." That was an erro I am certainly guilty of imprecise language, which I regret. Anyone who suggests i turn a blind eye to illegal activity or to the abuse of minors is unequivocally wrong. I am implacably opposed to the normalization of p--------- and I will continue to report and speak accordingly

C-- ing of Age Relationships

Milo: "The law is probably about right, that's probably roughly the right age. I think it's probably about okay, but there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age, I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who are sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world by the way. In many cases actually those relation ships with older men...This is one reason I hate the left. This stupid one size fits all policing of culture. (People speak over each other). This sort of arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys you know understanding that many of us have. The complexities and subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships. You know, people are messy and complex. In the homosexual world particularly. Some of those relationships etween younger boys and older men, the sort of coming of age relation ships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable and sort of a rock where they can't speak to their parents Some of those relationships are the most-"
