Ok. So this story has been floating around out there for several weeks and I\u2019ve been debating with myself as to if I wanted to cover it, at all.<\/p>\n

The main reason I\u2019ve avoided it is because I feel a child is being exploited, not for his good, but for the greed and selfish needs of the adults who should be taking care of him. Perhaps if the attention is taken away from young Desmond Napoles, the 11 year old New York child who calls himself a \u201cdrag kid\u201d and goes by the stage name, Desmond is Amazing, he will go away.<\/p>\n

For his own health and well-being, that needs to happen.<\/p>\n

Sadly, I don\u2019t see that happening, as long as he has people in his life, his own mother being the main perpetrator, who would see him not as a person, but a vehicle to push their own agendas, whether that agenda is attention or to \u201cnormalize\u201d pedophilia.<\/p>\n

And yes, I realize such a statement is enough to cause liberals, and particularly those of the LGBT-alphabet crew to go apoplectic. There has been an uneasiness on the left to have the LGBT community linked to kiddie touchers. Of the things they\u2019ll allow, somehow, this is a bridge too far.<\/p>\n

With that being said, there has also been an emerging campaign to tack a \u201cP\u201d onto the ever-growing list of sexual anomalies. At last check, it was up to LGBTQIA. I shudder to think at how many other ways God\u2019s natural order can be twisted, but pedophilia would be the worst.<\/p>\n

It is children like Desmond, and his full embrace by the LGBT community, simply because of his mother\u2019s willingness to let him participate in adult activities, who will be used to ease that sickness into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

Once that happens, look for the left to take up the cause and condemn anyone who doesn\u2019t want their child to be sexually objectified by adults.<\/p>\n

On December 1, young Desmond was dressed in garish drag (an 11 year old child, dressed to imitate Gwen Stefani), placed on a stage in a gay bar in Brooklyn, New York, called 3 Dollar Bill, and performed for the grown men in attendance,\u00a0 as they plied him with dollar bills.<\/p>\n

First of all, why was a child allowed in a bar?<\/p>\n

I saw this mentioned elsewhere, and it bears repeating, here.<\/p>\n

Were Desmond an actual 11 year old girl, and she\u2019d performed on stage at a strip club, while grown men threw bills at her, how fast would the authorities have descended on that club?<\/p>\n

Would the club lose its license? Would it be shut down?<\/p>\n

How about the parents that dragged their little girl to perform at a strip club? How quickly would Child Protective Services be scouring through every aspect of that family\u2019s home life?<\/p>\n

Maybe allowing your child to dress in drag, alone, isn\u2019t reason to snatch a child out of the home, but allowing your child to perform in adults-only bars, and to be sexualized by adults is not only a reason to remove the child, but to also criminally charge the parents.<\/p>\n

So why hasn\u2019t that happened to Desmond\u2019s parents, yet?<\/p>\n

Pedophiles are wrapping their intentions up tightly in LGBT garb. That\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Still, kudos to those who witnessed the shameful event and spoke out.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c11 year olds are too young to be performing at bars. This should not be legal,\u201d declared \u201cGod is not Real\u201d\u00a0on Twitter, adding, \u201cI\u2019m a liberal democrat.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, you\u2019re half right.<\/p>\n

Indeed, 11 year olds are<\/em><\/strong> too young to be performing at bars, and it should not be legal (I\u2019m sure it\u2019s not, but the owners of the club obviously feel confident that all they would have to do is cry \u201cDISCRIMINATION!\u201d if questioned, and the case would be dropped). Where you\u2019re wrong is that there is a God, and His justice will fall on all those who are victimizing this child.<\/p>\n

Others spoke out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI left after seeing a child dance on stage for money at nighttime. This was on Saturday night and I have been feeling disturbed ever since,\u201d said a patron on\u00a0Yelp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another said the club \u201cexploits children and sexualizes them in the wee hours of the morning,\u201d and then warned it \u201chas provided just the ammunition to homophobics everywhere and endangered the community.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s not about perceived homophobia, nor should that be the focus. The focus should be on what is right and what is wrong, as it pertains to the well-being of a child, no matter your sexual orientation. If your only concern is that it will make your social group look bad, then your heart is in the wrong place.<\/p>\n

And while some with the LGBT community are wringing their hands over how this will make them look, they were decidedly less concerned when 8 year old Desmond dressed in drag and danced in a gross, provocative manner in the streets for New York City\u2019s Pride Parade.<\/p>\n

Desmond has been the undisputed and most beloved young star of NYC Pride since 2015 when he danced his way into everyone\u2019s hearts at the NYC Pride March in his choice of a rainbow tutu and sparkly gold beret. \u00a0Overnight, Desmond\u2019s story was featured on NewNowNext, Yahoo, Perez Hilton, and Out Magazine. Quickly, he became an internet sensation and was well-known by millions worldwide.\u00a0 Desmond\u2019s mother\u2019s acquaintance created a Facebook Fan Page, called \u201cDesmond is Amazing\u201d to share his continuing journey with others. \u00a0The name stuck, and Desmond decided to use it as his official stage name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lovely.<\/em><\/p>\n

Folks, this is a sickness. It\u2019s not about the LGBT community, but it is about what they will allow and about the rest of society\u2019s willingness to look the other way, out of some fear of being called \u201cintolerant.\u201d<\/p>\n

ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America\u201d actually celebrated the exploitation of little Desmond, and it was atrocious.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the children, there should be a zero tolerance policy.<\/p>\n

What adults do is one thing, but there is no way to look at this and say it\u2019s ok.<\/p>\n

Because it is not.<\/p>\n

Somebody needs to step up for the children and call out this perversion and exploitation for the danger that it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And it needs to begin with the LGBT community.<\/p>\n
