Milo Yiannopoulos’ ‘Coming Out Conservative’ event forced to undisclosed venue due to threats

Former Breitbart technology editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ departure from the website has not halted threats against his public appearances.

A “Coming out Conservative” party planned for Saturday at New York’s Jue Lan Club was relocated on Friday due to security threats. The event, which coincides with Pride Week, was moved to an “undisclosed location” to deter the kind of violence that erupted prior to his Feb. 1 speech at UC Berkeley.

“Across the country, gay conservatives have been warned that they are not welcomed at Pride this year,” the provocateur said in a statement on Friday, The Daily Caller reported. “Angry, bitter leftists have seized control over the celebration and made it a political statement against President Trump.”

Mr. Yiannopoulos told 200 guests not to disclose the new venue as a means of avoiding a similar situation with activists.

“The Jue Lan Club chose to buckle under to leftists, which never works in the long run because leftists are never satisfied,” Mr. Yiannopoulos added.

Jue Lan Club did not respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment.
