[From “Milo Yiannopoulos to open conversion therapy facility in Florida”]

“I will absolutely be funding that research, will be conducting that research, in addition to having a residential program and probably an outpatient program too,” he said.

“That’s why I think it’s more properly to be called a ‘center,’ rather than a ‘clinic.’ I see this as a sort of blend of research, center, and treatment. That’s not really hugely unlike a Planned Parenthood in that respect.”

Yiannopoulos told The Post, “I want to publish research, help people in real life.”

Yiannopoulos ultimately believes the center will help “the first generation” of gay millennials “whose sexuality is inextricably linked and wrapped up with their political positions,” values, behavior and personal identity.

“I happen to think that trying to unravel that, unwind it and rescue people from it is a noble cause,” he explained, “And I also think that you set it against the extraordinary evil of the gay lobby that encourages this, you know, monolithic, ludicrous form of behavior that says to people that ‘if you want to find love, you have to behave'” in a way that reduces individuals to stereotypes.
“It’s not for women, probably,” he admitted, “But there are an enormous number of men out there who need and want this. And I intend to provide it for them.”

Yiannopoulos told The Post he also hopes to “rehabilitate” the PR surrounding the practice of using religion as a tool to rewire one’s sexuality.

“My aspiration is to rebrand, revitalize, rehabilitate what they call ‘conversion therapy’ for two new generations in the same way that I obliterated feminism for two generations, because it’s dying, and horribly maligned, ridiculed and prosecuted industry. It’s an industry in crisis, but it’s an industry whose addressable market has never been larger,” he said, referring to his past critique of third-wave feminism as a main topic of a number of campus lectures he gave while working at Breitbart.
