There was plenty to marvel at during the New York City Pride March on Sunday, but one precocious 8-year-old boy stood out from the crowd: Desmond Napoles, of Brooklyn, who joyously strutted and vogued his way down Fifth Avenue in a rainbow tutu and gold sequined cap. And when critics reared their heads on social media Monday, suggesting his participation was inappropriate, mom Wendylou Napoles shut them down with grace and pride.
If you are offended, dont look, Napoles wrote, in part, in a lengthy post on the Facebook page of LGBT website NewNowNext. Thats where a photo of Desmond (nicknamed Desi) has sparked nearly 5,000 likes and more than 200 comments, some of them attacking Napoles for allowing even forcing her son to be on such blatantly gender-fluid display.
He is old enough and smart enough to know he would be marching in the Pride parade in front of thousands of people and did it willingly, she wrote. In fact, I thought he would stop after 10 blocks of walking, but he felt so good about being dressed up and being who he is that he vogued and danced the entire two miles. We collaborated on the outfit and this is how he wanted to look today. This was his Pride today. He felt it. He loved it. He was it. These children will be our future. Embrace who they are. All they are asking for is the same love, respect, and acceptance of themselves as any child would.
Napoles tells Yahoo Parenting that she and her husband Andrew have been taking Desmond to watch the Pride March since he was 6 years old.

We are doomed.
That mom is a fricking psycho!
These people are worse than child molesters.
Damn. Didn’t take long to get straight to garden-variety pedophilia, did it?
Child abuse.
is it wrong to force your 8-year old jewish son to march in a parade that also features Nazi marchers?
is it wrong to force your 8-year old black son to march in a parade that also features KKK marchers?
in both cases the libtard media would be ALL OVER THIS STORY.
i’d ask the media, then why isn’t it also wrong to force your 8-year old son to march in a parade that features NAMBLA marchers?
the hypocrisy of the left here is obvious and the mother (and her no doubt henpecked wimpy husband) are idiots.
We sure are. This is one of Yahoo's features on great parenting. Another is about a gay couple who have adopted 7 kids, including their most recent, a gay teen boy. I mean, what could be more fantastic?
Of course not. He's oppressed.
Look carefully at this child’s face. He is not all there. The stare, where have we seen that stare, those eyes? I have seen it in Sandy Hook. It was there in Aroura at the theater and we see it every few days now in conjunction with stories of a South Carolina prayer meeting.
Wait until he is 40. If he makes it that far.
“grace and pride”? What a joke!
We are in one hell of a mess, then.
He looks about as happy as somebody raised by Woody Allen.
OMG - ROTFL!!!!
NO child should be brought anywhere near a “pride” parade, let alone allowed to march in one!!!!
If a little boy has “feminine” interests, his parents should gently lead him toward a more balanced set of interests. That does NOT necessarily mean discouraging all of his interests—there are male ballet dancers too, who are heterosexual.
And if a little boy is not good at sports, but becomes a science or math nerd instead, that’s just fine. He may be the next Steve Jobs, Svante Paabo, etc.!!!! It’s also fine if he has religious interests, and becomes an altar server—they get younger and younger al the time.
But labeling a little boy as a “gay” or a “trannie” when he’s not even 10 years old, and exposing him to the adult perverts who march in pride parades, is nothing but child abuse!!!!
I can remember when she would have been arrested for child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. But that was then and this is now.
I agree with the kid.
I mistakenly decided to go ahead and watch PBS FRONTLINE last night about Trans-Gender children. I have never in all my life seen such a horrifying nightmare world. The future is not a Marxist one, its just plain madness.
Liberal Moms and all their brilliance completely placating their infants gender whims. Encouraging their children to live out whatever momentary gender curiosity their second-grader thought at the moment.
There were only two Fathers on the show. Both clearly against what was happening to their boy or girl. Just completely bulldozed by the wife and the professionals they took the children to see.
Middle-School kids taking puberty blockers and hormones, completely annihilating their bodies before theyve even discovered what they are attracted to sexually. Complicit butchery from the medical establishment. A budding industry of Medical staffers and Homosexual Psychologists creating life long Cosmetic Surgery Drag outfits these poor children will never escape.
No one, ever telling them that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually transform your gender in any measurable way. Just modern Californians gluing beards on their daughters and taping boobs on their boys.
The most nightmarishly sick society to have ever existed in all of human history.
(and her no doubt henpecked wimpy husband)
How do we know that? Maybe its the husband that is encouraging it. With mom’s blessing. There are some sick individuals out there.
It’s sad how far Brooklyn has fallen.
