Freshly deported ‘ex-gay’ hypocrite Milo Yiannopoulos regrets Trump. Admits he’s gay & still married to a man

Milo Yiannopoulos spent more than a year demanding that the U.S. government deport millions of immigrants, particularly Black and brown people. Last week, the Trump administration deported him.

Now the far-right provocateur says the system he championed is brutal. He says he is ashamed that he supported President Donald Trump. And, after five years of calling himself “ex-gay,” he has acknowledged that he remains a gay man married to another man.

The admissions came Tuesday during Yiannopoulos’s first interview since U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested him in New Orleans and sent him back to Great Britain. For years, the cruelty was the point. It became a problem for Yiannopoulos only when he was the one in handcuffs.

“If I had any clue that anything remotely like this was even possible, I would never have gotten involved in supporting Trump in the first place,” Yiannopoulos said on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “And I’m very ashamed that I did.”

The personal admission followed when Morgan pressed Yiannopoulos about the American family from whom he said immigration authorities had separated him.

“You’re married to an American woman?” Morgan asked.

“No,” Yiannopoulos replied.

Morgan then described him as “a gay man” married to another gay man. “Yes,” Yiannopoulos answered. “I don’t do the sex stuff anymore, but yes.”

Yiannopoulos said his husband still lives in their Los Angeles home, “at the other end of the corridor.” He said the two married in Hawaii in September 2017 and that the marriage allowed him to adjust his immigration status and obtain a green card.

For Yiannopoulos, the answer collided with the identity he has sold since 2021, when he declared himself “ex-gay” in an interview with the far-right Catholic outlet LifeSiteNews. He likened homosexuality to an addiction, said he had “demoted” his husband to a housemate and promised to rehabilitate conversion therapy. The American Psychological Association says such efforts are ineffective and can cause harm.

ICE agents arrested Yiannopoulos, 41, on August 27 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and deported him to the United Kingdom the following day. The Department of Homeland Security said he legally entered the United States through New York City on May 14, 2019, but “chose to overstay his welcome.” The department said he failed to appear for an immigration hearing and received a final removal order July 22.

White House border czar Tom Homan repeated that account Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, although he acknowledged that he was not certain what type of visa Yiannopoulos held.

“He was ordered to appear in immigration court. He didn’t show up. The judge ordered him deported,” Homan said. “It’s that simple.”

Homan denied that Yiannopoulos received preferential treatment when ICE deported him one day after his arrest, a far shorter detention than many immigrants endure. He said the agency has been accelerating removals to save detention costs and free beds for other detainees. He also said political affiliation played no role.

Yet politics crowded the case from the beginning. Far-right racist Trump ally Laura Loomer claimed credit almost immediately. Homan said several people had contacted ICE and that Loomer “probably was” among them. He maintained that any tip was beside the point because an immigration judge had already ordered Yiannopoulos removed.

Yiannopoulos acknowledged insulting the president and accusing him of betraying his base but said he had not threatened him. Yiannopoulos also disputed the government’s account of immigration. He said officials mailed notices to an old address, excluded his attorney from the proceedings and canceled his green card without telling him. He said his lawyers would challenge the removal.

Yiannopoulos’s path from Breitbart led him into the circles of former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and rapper Ye. He interned for the Georgia Republican, worked on Ye’s abortive 2024 presidential campaign and arranged the 2022 Mar-a-Lago dinner attended by Trump, Ye and white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

In 2020, The Advocate reported that Yiannopoulos complained he had “lost everything” helping elect Trump. But after Trump returned to office in January 2025, Yiannopoulos demanded the deportation of “millions and millions and millions” of people, called for ICE checkpoints at supermarkets and gas stations, and questioned why an agency with 90,000 employees could not carry out 10,000 deportations a day.

When Morgan confronted him with those statements, Yiannopoulos conceded the hypocrisy. “You got me,” he said. He nevertheless maintained that his own removal was unlawful and politically motivated. “ICE is supposed to be deporting criminals,” he said.

Yiannopoulos described his arrest and detention as terrifying, humiliating and physically degrading. He said the experience changed how he understood people who spoke about trauma.

“I wouldn’t wish it on anyone,” Yiannopoulos said.
