Mom of 8-Year-Old Gay Pride Marcher Responds to Critics
Yahoo ^ | June 30, 2015 | Beth Greenfield

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, don’t look,” Napoles wrote, in part, in a lengthy post on the Facebook page of LGBT website NewNowNext. That’s 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.

Look around at the general public....this country is so far down the road to perdition that it will take a miracle to fix this mess.

I’ll bet this kid ends up HATING his mother in about 20 years if not sooner. Gays are usually miserable, and if he’s NOT gay he DEFINITELY will be miserable.

NYPD Officer Bumps, Grinds, Simulates Sex with Gay Pride Parade Member

Breitbart's Big Government ^ | June 29, 2015 | William Bigelow

On Sunday, one NYPD officer joyfully danced with a member of the gay pride parade, bumping and grinding and letting the parade member get behind him and simulate sex on the street in front of appreciative onlookers.

Afterward, the gay pride parade member gave the officer a nice hug and kiss, while the officer beamed...

This is child abuse. Where is the Department of Social Services?

Better yet, where are the neighbors with their horsewhips. She badly needs a lesson in proper child rearing.

Encouraging it. On your tax dollar. It's the kids whose parents oppose this sort of thing who get confiscated.

And if you’re offended when I call you “disgusting,” don’t listen.

You can’t display a Confederate flag because it’s “offensive.” But THAT’S NOT???????

In a normal world he would. But in this current climate they may be pressed to promote him. Or award him with a medal.

If he acted that way with a young woman while on duty there’d be hell to pay.

The world has gone mad.
