Converse Launches LGBT Shoe Line Featuring Preteen ‘Drag Kid’

Quote:
Converse has announced the release of a new line of shoes celebrating LGBT culture alongside a marketing campaign featuring characters of various sexual orientations, including an 11-year-old ‘drag kid’ who goes by the stage name ‘Desmond Is Amazing.’

“We’re happy to launch our Pride Collection, partnering with six individuals connected to the LGBTQ+ community who show the power of expressing one’s true self,” the apparel company tweeted on Monday.

I’m assuming they’ve done this for publicity and not the tiny few who gender bend.

Have you considered that NONE of it is real, and it may just be a marketing gimmick?

So, his parents are the "sick af" ones, I assume?


As an aside, No Doubt doesn't have a song called "Like A Girl" - from the article in the first post of that thread.

Cute kid.

Looks like his OCD went to drag.

When people with Autism display OCD towards math they become early mathematicians, science, scientists, this kids on drag, so he'll be an early drag queen. It's common in the Autistic community for kids to narrow their focus on one subject.
His parents might as well support him because changing him will be impossible. At least they'll form a bond.

As far as acceptance, the general public might as well embrace it. 1 in 59 kids will be born with Autism this year. At this rate, everyone will be Autistic soon, and it will be our new "normal."
