Revolution is here: "the Left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down"

Actually, is "MILO" (all caps) his personal trademark, or does it belong to Breitbart?

But even worse is the fact that he dove head first into what is essentially the version of the blood libel for the LGBT community: pedophilia.

This is false, and the gist of it is exactly what Milo was saying. The "blood libel" against gays and lesbians has always been the predation/grooming of the vulnerable, usually in the teen to young adult years (whereas paedophilia, as Milo notes, is pre-pubescent). This has been true since Roman times, at the very least. The "lowering of the age of consent" (typically to 12 or 13) is one of the big issues for this NAMBLA crowd, so it's no surprise that Milo fits in well.

Pedophilia does not end at puberty. The LGBT community has made a lot of progress because of the libertarian wing of the conservative movement does not want to interfere with what consenting adults do behind closed doors. that created enough of a left and righ coalition to get a lot of pro-LGBT legislation passed. But when those consenting adults are alleged to be targeting children (i.e. up to the age of consent), they are pegged as deviant pedophiles who should not be granted equal rights.

Paedophilia is pre-pubescent. The correct word for post-pubescent is ephebophilia. (Hebephilia is the transition stage, if you really want to split hairs, and all these words date to the Greeks in some form.) Failing to make a distinction between these is a misnomer, as they are quite different, both physically and psychologically (for all parties involved). OTOH, the "age of consent" is a legal construct, not a biological one.

Why then is incest still illegal?

And polygamy.

Err, polygamy isn't behind closed doors, as marriage is a social construct.

Which leads one to wonder why this "marriage equality" is such a big deal, if it's only "behind closed doors" that is the consideration.

How can a civilized country not allow this! You are religious bigots.

Polygamy (meaning polygyny) is sexist if polyandry is not also allowed.

It's so that you can get other legal rights. The same was true (e.g.) for Pakistanis bringing in many "wives" into UK in the 60s, I met a Korean "couple" (actually bro/sis) here in Australia a few years back, ...

I went on Milo's Facebook page and there is tons of love for him. I am really out of touch. People love this guy so much. Why? Can someone point to me a talk where he has said something interesting?

A lot of them seem really confused with who disinvited him to speak and who made him resign.

And they seem to think he is being unfairly persecuted for the underage sex comments he made.
