Bloomberg: Breitbart writer Milo makes money from gay “sugar daddies”

[RandySF]

“Alt-Right” leader, and Breitbart News writer, Milo Yiannopoulos, was profiled today by Joel Stein in Bloomberg News.

As background, the Alt-Right are white supremacists, many of whom have a reverence for vulgar Nazi imagery, who also have issues with women, gays, Muslims and Jews. And Breitbart is the Web site of Donald Trump’s campaign manager Stephen Bannon. Brannon bragged earlier this summer that Breitbart was “the platform for the alt-right.” So this story directly reflects on the Trump campaign.

The profile alleges that Yiannopoulos said that the last time he was in Los Angeles, he was picked up at a bar by a man who gave him $10,000 after a night of sex. Yiannopoulos says the man gave him another $10,000 following a second evening of fun. According to new stories, Yiannopoulos was in Los Angeles as recently as this past May 31 (possibly later).

This claim that Yiannopoulos receives money from “sugar daddies” comes immediately after the profile tells us that Breitbart only pays some of the $1 million cost of Yiannopoulos’ nearly 30 staff members. Beyond Breitbart, the staff salaries are also subsidized by donations from conservatives, and from Yiannopoulos own family money, according to the story.

1. From the article...

Finally, I’ve spoken to a source familiar with the escort business in Los Angeles, DC, NYC, Las Vegas and London. They assure me that the top professional escorts in Los Angeles only get half of the $10,000 alleged in the Bloomberg article. And that’s over a period of weekend. The source added: “And those guys are Abercrombie & Fitch type supermodels. Milo would be lucky to get $200.”

2. Sounds more in the ball park. nt

3. I wouldn't doubt his biggest sugar daddy is Peter Thiel.

eom

5. If you have 20 minutes of your life that you'll never get back. Watch this

self promoting simple muthafucka get dismantled and exposed for who he really is. A self loathing snake oil salesman. Who pretty much admits his whole shtick consists of loving cock and using that as a shield from the ridicule he deserves for his 19th century mentality masquerading as "edginess":

10. this is the breitbart guy Milo Y? too funny.. I had no idea he was a self-loather

I fast forwarded to the best part around 2/3 through. These right wing anti-gay "I'd take the gay pill" weirdos need to stop wishing they were straight. They are not strong enough to try and be brave in an often cruel world for gays

17. This guy is just a run of the mill posh young gay Brit trading on his educated sounding accent

to cash in on the US political celebrity culture

He is no more a journalist or intellectual than Jeff Gannon was during his 20 minutes of fame

Right wing gay club boys just want to get paid properly for their services and closeted RW men are willing to pay well for that in exchange for discretion

That in a nut shell is the pseudonymous Milo Yiannopoulos

6. i have a hard time believing this

just based on his looks.

[shenmue]

7. 20 grand for two nights?!?

[ansible]

8. There are lots and lots of lonely people out there with money

Men and women into the "sugar baby" business can make quite a bit of money out of it

[JI7]

11. yeah, but it's usually different than "one night of sex for 10k"

[melman]

15. He has a sort of celebrity status

That makes a big difference. He's also probably lying.

[JI7]

16. i guess i could see that. i use to know a right wing gay guy who thought gingrich was hot

his mother was on welfare and kicked him out when he told her he was gay so i think his hatred of liberals(welfare supporters) goes back to that .

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

9. I wonder what Jeff Gannon is up to these days...

[mwrguy]

12. Milo is a sick piece of shit

Islamophobic, racist

[Marr]

13. "...the Alt-Right are white supremacists..."

Look, I'm no conservative, but this continued cartoon-simplification of the so-called Alt-Right makes us look out of touch.

They aren't white supremacists, though I'm sure such can be found under the Alt-Right umbrella. They're really more of an online phenomenon; a younger generation of people whose politics don't align with those of the previous generation, and would be considered iconoclasts in any traditional, conservative environment.

Many of them are almost single-issue sorts, and many others are a kind of online response to some of the more ridiculous, extreme voices from the left that can be found on social media.

Yiannopolous is basically a media troll, not unlike Ann Coulter. I doubt this sugar daddy thing would do anything but increase his notoriety.

14. Great...another gay bigot, who emboldens homophobic bigots from all over.
