Milo Yiannopoulos is at CU Boulder this evening. Interesting that in the Facebook events section, there’s the Stop Milo event, but no mention of Milo. Perhaps because it’s been sold out for weeks. It will be live-streamed but apparently the link is a state-secret at the moment.

And here’s what the STOP MILO folks, who have to sense of humor whatsoever, have to say….

Milo Yiannopoulos, editor at Breitbart.com and figurehead of the alt-right (neo-fascism) movement, will be giving a speech at CU.

We will be engaging in a peaceful protest outside of the seminar Yiannopoulos will be holding in order to express our disappointment with CU administration for condoning this, and to raise awareness of the disgusting things that Milo has said. Here’s a brief sample:

“Gay Rights Have Made Us Dumber, It’s Time to Get Back in the Closet”
“Women don’t work as hard”
“Isn’t that a bit sad? A tranny that can pass as a woman can walk into any women’s bathroom in the state.” (Said at another speech on this same tour)
“It is time for the LGBT community to drop the T” (Said at another speech on this same tour)

In the meantime, if you’re a student at CU or a facility/staff member, consider contacting CU Chancellor Phillip P. DiStefano and urging him to take action on this abhorrent display of bigotry:

Milo on the alt-right:

This interview makes me want to see Milo.

Congratulations to the CU Boulder administration for allowing this event to proceed.

To the stop Milo folks, why are you so afraid of words and points of view you don’t like? Freedom of speech is much more important than you taking offense. Yes, freedom of speech includes your right to peacefully protest, but remember you are protesting to shut someone else’s voice down. In essence, you wish to take away Milo’s freedom of speech. Be careful, that might come back to haunt you.
