The New American
This “is the first time in at least half a century that a publicly funded university has directly poured money into the coffers of evil Catholic conversion therapists!” So said the ever-colorful Milo Yiannopoulos, sarcastically, at Penn State University on November 3 in a talk titled “Pray the Gay Away.”
It’s the first time in four years that “Milo,” as his fans would call him, has appeared on a college campus, and much has changed during his absence. Oh, he’s still on the “right”; still has bleached hair, at least partially; still is sharp as a whip with rapier wit; and still is controversial. But then there’s the difference: Yiannopoulos has “come out” — as straight.
It’s a striking transformation for the man who once said that while he considered homosexuality a choice, dispensing with his would destroy his career. But then Yiannopoulos announced, earlier this year, that he was “Ex-Gay” and “sodomy free.” He also stated that he was leading a daily consecration to St. Joseph online, saying that people can’t conquer sin via purely secular means; God’s grace is necessary. Now he has reportedly come full circle, going to confession and coming into full communion with the Catholic Church.
