This 11-Year-Old Drag Queen Is Getting Harassed By Conservatives Online
A New York City family is once again facing calls from child protection services after their son, an 11-year-old drag queen, was featured in a shoe ad.
At first, Wendy wasn't sure how to handle Desmond's new interest, but after talking to a therapist, she decided to just let Desmond find his own way. Now, years later, he's a pint-sized star in his own right, performing at events and talking to his fans on social media . "They’re basically saying queer kids equal pedophilia and sexuality. It’s really quite disgusting they’re seeing kids like this," said Wendy."For whatever reason the conservative media has really made a target of Desmond. No matter what it is, no matter what we do, they come after us."That's when the calls started. People who've never met the Napoles family, most from out of state, started calling the authorities with complaints.
"These kids aren’t performing adult shows, obviously. I would equate it closer to theater or drama class," said Wendy.Aside from the calls to child services, Desmond also faces severe harassment online, including the family's personal information being published and death threats. Wendy even once saw people placing bets as to when Desmond would kill himself.
