You may perhaps have heard about the preteen drag performer who goes by the name “Desmond Is Amazing.” Desmond Napoles is an online sensation who’s appeared on “Good Morning America” and has become a cause célèbre among the LGBT community.
In January, a bit of a cultural scuffle happened that may have gone under the radar.
Desmond, who is managed by his parents, appeared in December, at the age of 11, at the 3 Dollar Bill, a New York City establishment that is either a “gay bar” (the description used by The American Conservative’s Rod Dreher) or “a queer, multifunctional performance space” (Out’s Devin-Norielle).
Desmond, after his performance, was tipped by members of the audience, leading commentators like Dreher to say it was “a manifestation of pedophilia, straight up.”
Devin-Norielle blamed Dreher — and all of perfidious “conservative media” — for “unleash[ing] a firestorm of misleading and fabricated news articles claiming that Desmond’s work as a drag performer is child abuse because, they claim, his performances are sexual and he receives tips.”
“These arguments are dangerous; conservative media has associated Desmond’s performance of drag with sexuality simply because he transgresses the binary and opts to express his femininity,” Devin-Norielle wrote. “Newsflash: gender identity and sexuality are not one and the same. Desmond’s exploration and toying of gender is not a discovery of his sexual attractions, nor is it a tactic to invite the sexual desires of others.”
Fast forward to June, and Desmond’s mother — who, again, helps manage the child’s career — is now outraged that her son’s performance “invite[d] the sexual desires of others.”
I warn readers that we’re going to get into some rather disturbing territory here. I’d just as soon not report on it and I think most individuals would just as soon not read what’s been said about Desmond. That being said, there’s a reason why we need to examine this.

Tom O’Carroll is a British pedophile rights campaigner who has been convicted of distributing child pornography on a massive scale. In a May blog post for his WordPress site — which is openly and proudly pro-pedophile — O’Carrol declares that “Desmond is truly amazing — and hot!”
“Just check out this introductory video on YouTube. No wonder 11-year-old Desmond Napoles and other kids daringly diving into drag culture right now have provoked right-wing reactionaries into paroxysms of moral outrage,” O’Carroll writes.
“Let’s face it, when a pretty young boy tells the world he is gay and dances sensuously in front of grown men, wearing vampish dresses and makeup; when ‘she’ strips off items of clothing or goes on stage scantily clad right from the off; when dollar bills are accepted as ‘tips’ from an audience apparently wild with excitement; when all this is going on we are getting far more than just a celebration of gender diversity or an innocent display of precocious performance talent.

This is my surprised Pikachu face :|
The problem here is clearly a born awful stupid “mom.”
The real question is whether she is really stupid, or just playing stupid on TV.
I can’t imagine she is really that stupid; no one is.
The most likely scenario is that she has been selling him to pedos for quite some time.
Bacha bazi.
Bacha Bazi West.
It is amazing how dumb liberals are.
It sounds like the mom is ‘mad’, but is changing nothing.
Apparently, the cynical joy she gets from making conservatives express disgust and revulsion means more to her than changing any ‘career pursuits’ for her son.
Mom will be utterly perplexed when her Amazing Desmond turns up with AIDS in a few years..
How could that possible happen?
She should be behind bars, and the little boy is going to need a psychiatrist.
Does Mom deliver pizza for a living?
She knows what she is doing.
These parents are child abusers.
If she really is that stupid that alone should disqualify her from raising a child.
What a vacuous woman the mother is.
The same can be said for mothers who make their children into beauty queens. When a three year old is wearing a bikini and dancing around like a pole dancer they are giving pedophiles free and legal eye candy. These kinds of shows should be banned as exploitation. Liberals can call it art but it is child pornography.
*except in Washoe and Clark counties, and Carson City...
Queer eye for the straight kid...
Some people should simply not be allowed to breed.
