Being that Milo Yiannopoulos is a proud and unrepentant homosexual, I'm wondering why his book is being boycotted.
Thoughts Jefferson?
Thoughts Jefferson?
Boycotting a publishing company is not like boycotting a coffee shop. It is designed to censor political speech.
Censorship can be performed by non-governmental agents.
None of these companies are political forums. Simon & Schuster books often are. See the difference?

How so? The publishing company still can publish things. Whether or not their products get purchased is another issue.
No it can't.
Simon & Schuster is being threatened with a boycot because Milo is a political conservative. Typical liberal fascism.
I'll sick back and patiently listen while you explain how a proud and unrepentant homosexual can be anywhere close to being a "political conservative".
The sad story of Milo Yiannopoulos: the Trump troll with Daddy issues
Milo Yiannopoulos is a fervent supporter of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Referring to Trump as “Daddy,” the ostentatiously gay British media personality provides a camp component to the presumptive Republican nominee’s fan base. What seems to excite Yiannopoulos about Trump is what seems to excite most of the tycoon’s voters: a brash, take-no-prisoners attitude. When I recently asked Yiannopoulos to name the Trump policies he favors, he replied with a very revealing answer. Trump supporters don’t care about the man’s policies, he said. “They want to burn everything down.” Suddenly Yiannopoulos’ Twitter handle, [MENTION=2653]Nero[/MENTION] (followed by more than 200,000 Twitter users), made all the more sense.
Simultaneously vacuous and sinister, equal parts nihilist and narcissist, Yiannopoulos is the model Trump advocate. And as Trump comes under increasing scrutiny, Yiannopoulos, who writes for Breitbart.com, has gone to great lengths defending the worst elements of his campaign. Shortly after our encounter, which took place this March over brunch in Washington, Yiannopoulos published a long article championing the “alt right,” the largely Internet-based, populist movement that has surged to prominence on the heels of Trump’s success. Among its various constituencies, the alt right is comprised of mens’ rights advocates, pseudo-intellectual “race realists,” technocratic authoritarians whose paeans to Chinese efficiency resemble those of Tom Friedman (if Tom Friedman thought Ian Smith was a sell-out), and outright neo-Nazis. Speaking of the movement’s “intellectuals,” the bulk of whom write for avowedly racist and anti-Semitic publications like VDARE and American Renaissance, Yiannopoulos and his co-author described them as “dangerously bright.”...

The publishing company cannot publish things if the boycott runs them out of business.
Yes it can. From http://www.yourdictionary.com/censorship
Censorship: "The definition of censorship is the practice of limiting access to information, ideas or books in order to prevent knowledge or freedom of thought."
Not a word about the government.
When liberal university students shout down an invited conservative speaker on campus so that he can't even be heard, I call that censorship. I also call it liberal fascism.
What do you call it?
Why do you think the left hates him?

Since you didn't answer: Homosexuals can't be conservative, because they go against everything that conservatism stands for.
Why does the left hate Milo Yiannopoulos and his "Daddy" Donald Trump? Milo and "Daddy" are the left, they've just taken their dog and pony show to the Republican Party, which the democrats hate no matter who is in charge.

"An invited speaker" by definition is not censorship.
I call it a bunch of rabble rousers creating a public disturbance.

There are lots of conservatives on Twitter but Milo got banned. Can you guess why?
Explain how the fascist "rabble rousers" are not trying to censor the conservative speakers.

Censorship is government suppression of freedom of expression. Student rabble rousers are not a government agency, ergo, no censorship.

The evidence shows that the little foul mouthed faggot couldn't keep from stalking someone by the name of Leslie Jones.
Just how offensive did Milo Yiannopoulos have to be to get banned from Twitter?

Do you think that "Daddy" can use his power as President to reinstate Milo's Twitter account Jefferson?
Daddy: A Daddy in gay culture is a slang term meaning a (typically) older man sexually involved in a relationship or having a sexual interest in a younger man.

Oh my, is Donald Trump having sex with Milo?
