Milo Yiannopoulos insists right wing Christian influencer Benny Johnson is a closet gay

Benny Johnson is a 38-year-old right wing influencer, who is married to a woman, and has four kids. He is not extreme, nor alt-right, but is what I'd describe as the "religious Christian traditionalist right". He's one who basically believes that all men should embrace Christianity, get married, and be the leader of their households. He does a lot of public speaking, often advising how young men should seek to be "alpha males", but not in the oversexed, roided, Andrew Tate sort of way, but in the traditionalist Christian way.

He has been very successful in developing an audience, with 4 million followers on X.

Being a public figure with a strong opinion on politics and social issues, Johnson obviously has enemies. Some of them are on the left, as you'd guess. However, he also has enemies on the right. Some are jealous of his success. Others resent him for being pro-Israel. But others are annoyed because they perceive he is the ultimate hypocrite. They say that, behind the facade of a pious married Christian family man, Benny Johnson is secretly gay, has sex with men on the down-low, and even has a secret open marriage.

There have been various rumors dating as far back as 2017 regarding Johnson's alleged homosexuality.

One of the earlier public allegations came from Carlos Maza, a gay left wing influencer who had a major spat with Steven Crowder some years back. Here's what Maza tweeted:

Saeed Jones and the Makeout Session

Saeed Jones, a gay Buzzfeed writer, wrote on Bluesky about a supposed makeout session he had with Johnson at a holiday Buzzfeed party in 2013. The post was in September 2024, and quickly drew a lot of attention.

I made out with Benny Johnson in an empty dressing room at BuzzFeed holiday party in 2013. It haunts me to this day. ��

Anyway, it’s funny that’s he’s done literally everything BUT come out of the closet. Men will literally become traitors to their country rather than go to therapy.

Betty Who performed at the holiday party BF hosted at Webster Hall in 2013. Everyone got SLOSHED because of the open bar.

Benny and I went into a dressing room and started kissing. Would’ve gone further but he said something cringe enough to snap me back to my senses. I rolled my eyes and left.

Anyway, I’m definitely not the only guy Benny Johnson has made out with. I’ve heard him and his wife are swingers. She’s pregnant with their fourth child now which… LOL. Anyway.

When I warn y’all about sleeper agents, I’m speaking from experience. Demons walk amongst us!
.
.
I’m not naming names. But I was just informed, I wasn’t even the only guy Benny made out with THAT NIGHT.

Hahahahahahahaahaha! WHEW!

Saeed did not provide proof of any of this.

However, a lot of people believed him (and I think I do, too), and this quickly made the rounds all over X.




Benny and the Targeted Gay Ad

People then recalled a 2017 incident where Johnson shared a screenshot of the Military Times website with a gay cruise ad on the side. Johnson didn't understand how cookies and internet advertising worked, and thought Military Times was directly contracting with that advertiser. Users on Twitter then pointed out to Johnson that these ads serve based upon your browsing history, and that obviously he's being served a gay cruise ad because he's been to lots of gay websites.

This would be fairly convincing except.... I've seen that exact ad, too! In fact, I showed it to people at the time, laughing at how bad the algorithm must be if it's serving me gay cruise ads. I've also gotten targeted ads for meeting black singles. I blame all of you for this, with the weird shit you post here.

Anyway, if I got that exact ad, I can't judge Benny for it. He was still dumb to post it though, and he wasn't joking around.




Alleged Hookups at Turning Point USA Events With Men, While Wife Cries in the Lobby

There have also been unconfirmed rumors that Johnson hooked up with young guys at Turning Point USA events, supposedly going back to their rooms to mess around, while his wife would sit crying in the lobby because she knew what was going on.

None of these allegations came from anyone credible, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Embedded Tweet

Late 2025 Ramp Up

These rumors died down for a lot of 2025, but they really ramped up in September when a left wing YouTube named Keith Edwards posted a compilation of all the gay allegations against Johnson. The video got about 500,000 views, and spawned new attacks on Benny.

Over the past week, it has really taken flight because Milo Yiannopoulos, who is gay himself, has been relentlessly trolling Benny and his wife, resulting in Benny finally threatening legal action over it. I'll get to that in the next post.

Milo came to prominence in 2014, when he was the only one aggressively calling out "Gamergate" as phony.

Gamergate, if you remember, was a fake scandal where various women in gaming were insisting they were victimized by male neckbeards who refused to accept them. While left wingers and feminists were expressing outrage, and while most right wingers ignored it, Milo appeared out of nowhere on YouTube shows, alleging that the whole thing was bullshit.

It turned out Milo was right. The Gamergate women were all liars, scammers, and grifters, and their victimization stories ranged from greatly exaggerated to completely fabricated.

This got Milo a lot of positive right wing attention, which he leaned into big time. Milo was openly gay and flamboyant, calling himself a "Dangerous Faggot". He was surprisingly embraced by mid-2010s right wing internet spaces, and had a brash, trollish, bitchy demeanor. He eventually crashed down when he went on a talk show and defended gay pedophiles, claiming that 13-year-old boys having sexual relations with adult men are not victims, but rather are learning about life. This disgusted his fans and critics alike, and Milo ceased to become a thing.

However, Milo continued to lurk in the background, trying to insert himself into existing controversies whenever possible. At one point he claimed to have been cured of his gayness, claiming to be straight now -- something I find highly unlikely.

Milo decided to attack Benny very viciously this week, for unknown reasons.

First, Milo went on Tim Pool's show and called out Johnson. He said Benny was part of a "right-wing closeted gay epidemic," claiming it's an "open secret" he slept with "boys" in hotel lobbies and rooms at TPUSA's SAS events. Yiannopoulos referenced "receipts" and dared Johnson to sue, stating truth is a defamation defense. He tied it to Johnson's frequent family photos as overcompensation.

Over the last few days, Milo has been coming after Johnson and his wife very hard on X:

https://x.com/Nero/status/1997798328059507092


This finally sent Benny's wife (who is the same age as him, by the way) over the edge, and she threatened to sue Milo.

Benny then followed up the next day with his own tweet, threatening legal action:

I'll continue in the next post.

Milo responded with the following to Benny's legal threat:

Dear free speech warrior Benny, dear Kate:

A few notes for your consideration.

— I know more about defamation than any lawyer you will hire. Benny is a public figure. Malice is a nonstarter. I have receipts, and the truth is a total defense against any claim of defamation or libel. Do you want to lose a defamation case to MILO YIANNOPOULOS OF ALL PEOPLE about whether or not you are gay? Do you want to even fight one? The people who have poured money into making you a big deal are about to lose their entire investment.

— I know more about your marriage than you think I do, and I have evidence, and I have witnesses. I know who to subpoena. I know what questions to ask. About nocturnal liaisons dangereuses with chaps in assless chaps and about being caught in flagrante delicto at conferences attended by students, some of whom may have been under 18. (I guess we’ll find out!)

— Nobody cares about you, Kate. I’ll say this. It was shitty of me to say you look old. I am a shitty person. I’ll delete that if you want, and apologize. It doesn’t make me feel awesome to look back at those tweets. But… you do look old. You look hideous. You look twice your age. Apparently you agree, because you just took the video down that I took a screenshot from today. It makes me a cunt to call you old-looking. But it’s not something you can sue over in America.

If you’re raw about people saying you’re a swinger, maybe don’t be a swinger girl. Strange how rumors just take on a life of their own, especially given how notoriously prudish nurses are.

— Discovery will destroy your career beyond any possibility of redemption, Benny, which was never my intention and never in my heart because I believe that family is making you a better man, as I think it did Charlie Kirk, but this will be the inevitable result of your actions. I just want you to be honest because I believe that’s important and I believe that it is in the public interest to report on people who present one way and act another.

— There’s an easy way out of this. Honesty. Just tell your viewers who you are and what you’ve done and how you got better. If you have. You could be an inspiration to millions. Tell you what. I’ll pledge to you right now I’ll cover the first $10,000 of your therapy with Dr. Nicolosi. Kate’s ravenous mossy bank will have to take care of itself.

Or…we can both spend millions and I’ll win. Is that really what you want? Yours in Christ—or kisses, kunty ✨ (I guess that depends what day of the week it is) 🤤

Your friend,

Milo

Milo is still going on attacking Benny, with no end in sight.

What is my opinion? I'll post that in the next message.

Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

One interesting thing is that Benny has not directly denied these rumors.

Even if he doesn't want to directly repeat them, why not make a statement that all of the nasty things being posted by Milo and other trolls are absolutely false, and never happened?

At this point, there's no Streisand Effect. This has become very big on X, and it's not going away. He might as well address it.

Milo seems pretty confident that he has the receipts and the witnesses, if ever challenged with lawsuits. Note that Benny Johnson is a public figure, so the bar for defamation is very high. Johnson would have to prove that Milo knew that these statements were false when he made them, but Milo could easily point to the years-long rumors online about Johnson's sexuality.

I have a hard time believing this is all made up. The internet is a nasty place, and it's often polluted with lies and false allegations, but it's rare when I've seen a prominent figure accused in so many directions of closet homosexuality without it actually being true.

Given that Johnson's entire career hinges upon being a good Christian family man, he cannot afford to come out of the closet, even if he's only bisexual and still otherwise loves and is attracted to his wife.

However, bisexuality doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If he were bi, and engaging in extramarital sex, he would be doing so with both men and women. These stories seem to indicate that he's only hooking up with men -- meaning that he feels much more of an urge to seek out gay partners than straight ones. You could argue that he's already getting hetero sex at home, but that's really not how it works. If he's hooking up with other people, he would probably want some of both if he's bisexual.

Also, cheating on his wife with other women would be far less damaging to his career if caught, than being caught doing it with men. Therefore, I'm assuming that if the male hookup stories are true, it's an urge so strong that he can't help himself.

I am guessing Benny is going to try and ride this out (no pun intended) until it goes away. But it might not. I doubt he will actually sue Milo, for the reasons Milo himself stated.

Wait, so you dont think Benny Johnson is alt-right?

1. no chance he sues. don't know him or of him or really care. but if only a fraction of what alleged is true, discovery is a hell on earth for people w shit in their closets.

2. people suck.

Alt-right and traditionalist Christian right are two different things.

He's the latter.

https://x.com/Nero/status/1998071200740966632


He should change this slightly to, "If you are gay, and you are a prominent Republican living a phony heterosexual life, I will out you."

There are a lot of grifters and phonies in the right wing social media space, so exposing the hypocrites and fakes is always a good thing.

There's little to be gained, however, in exposing the gay Republicans who are not married to women and aren't making anti-gay or pro-Christian rhetoric part of their platform. For example, Peter Thiel, while not an influencer, was not doing anything hypocritical by funding Republican politicians. He was just a Republican who happened to also be gay and wanted to keep it private.

i'm not sure why Milo thinks people don't believe him about this Benny Johnson guy, whoever that is.
Imo, that's between him and his wife.

Here's the thing that caught my attention, sort of.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2e_oTB9fTbU

I didn't know Dave Ruben was gay, Buttigage, lil faggot robbedf Bernie.

So he's saying gays are adopting black kids for perverse reasons? He should be more specific if he's going to make such claims.
If so the joke is on them, won't be long they'll have a major leaugue brat on their hands w criminal tendencies hardwired, brainwashed w social justice propaganda and gangster rap.

I wonder how many people are pissed at Ruben, wtf this black kid is a lil terror, stealing stuff, smoking weed all day, don't listen for shit and is getting bad grades. lol

I wonder how long Milo can go along w his i'm not gay schtick, Something seems off w Milo idk.

Yes, something is off with Milo. He seems like a sociopath. Even he admits that he's a fuckup.

He's probably correct here about Benny Johnson. And I actually do see why people find it annoying when people achieve their fame/notoriety/success by portraying themselves as good family men, when in reality they're gay and their entire hetero life is a prop.

If you're gay, you should really just be gay and whoever can't take it, tough luck.

If you really feel you have to live in the closet, that's up to you, but then you can't run around lecturing people about being a good Christian husband. If you want to play the good Christian husband for appearances, and suck off guys on the DL, then a public speaking career based upon your fake hetero lifestyle isn't the right choice. And if someone figures it out and then outs you on social media, tough luck, even if they're doing it for their own selfish reasons.
