Controversy over 10 Year Old “Drag Kid” being photographed with Naked Adult Drag Queen

Many people of all walks of life are outraged about this, some non Christians even saying that what Christians have been saying is all happening.

It's hardly porn, so fuck Woods. He's a perv anyway.

But it's still inappropriate for a child to be in drag. Drag is a form of adult entertainment. Not knocking drag at all, but that environment is NO PLACE FOR A CHILD. It's not.

Europe is a lot less prudish about nudity. Nude breast can be seen on tv after 8 or 9pm.

That means children can see them, r3! Won't someone please think of children!!!

Are you kidding me??? Bare breasts are shown on SOME NETWORKS late at night in UK. And that’s breast’s. Not the vulva or a dick!!!

Some of you are REALLY SICK. Wow. I’ve never been so ashamed to be gay as seeing gay men DEFENDING a child taking pics with a nude adult!!!

Child abuse, pure and simple.

This idea that nudity is shown in the Uk like nothing is a lie that perverts use to defend their perversions.

Bare ass and tits are shown in the UK on networks geared toward adults or older teens with warnings before the episode and sometimes when coming back from commercial breaks. It’s only shown on some networks and after a certain time. It’s not like you’re gonna turn on the TV at 3pm and see a hard dick. That’s sick.

What about nudists? You may object to their lifestyle, but they have a right to it, and their children are exposed to (*gasp*) nudity on a regular basis. Maybe everyone didn't have a bible shoved down their throat as children, and don't see the nude body as sinful.

Violet better watch his clumsy ass self. This is very poor taste and questionably legally.

I don't feel at all comfortable with the parents letting their kid do this, but I also feel very uncomfortable with adults going after this kid and demonizing him.

That kid’s going to grow up with no sense of healthy boundaries. If he enjoys playing dress-up and wearing girly things, fine. But he should be doing that in the privacy of his home, possibly with friends his own age for little dress-up parties on Saturday afternoons. His mother is whoring him out for attention and profit. She’s managing his IG account and putting hashtags on the posts that, I’m sure, aren’t the things a lad of his age group are talking about among their friends. That’s all his mother. Exploiting her child. Dressing him not like a girl but like an adult woman who sells sex. Perhaps he’s enjoying it now but in a few years he may be mortified about all this and there will be no undoing it.

Also, wtf with the name Queen Lactatia? That’s degrading to women. What in the hell is wrong with his parents?!

Drag is adult entertainment, so not only is it harmful to the kid, it’s awkward for the grown queens to have some twisted stage Frau and her crotchfruit slither into their midst.

For the record, I think ALL child entertainers are exploited - including actors, pageant brats, and underage girl dancers in the slathered in makeup and hoochie clothes with moms who live vicariously through them.

And it’s almost always straight, white middle class parents looking for $$ and attention who push their kids into acting and drag, but the right wing loons are already hypocritically exploiting drag kid themselves by publicizing him as an example of the “gay agenda.”

Drag is no longer adult entertainment. If a Drag Queen isn’t sanitized and isn’t PC, that drag queen will be dragged for filth. Ever since Drag Race went mainstream, drag queens are now disneyfied. The contestants have more in common with Americans Next Top Model than the drag queens that used to be edgy and counter culture. Look at Drag Race now, the successful drag queens are all the “pretty” yet talentless ones.

He's no Craig Russell!

Shut the fuck up, R5 and R7. UK rules on television content allow non-sexual nudity at any time of day.

I've seen naked penis and butt on Big Brother UK several times.

That kid is gross and so is Violet.

BB is shown late at night in UK.

Channel 4 explicitly state their guidelines regarding nudity before 9pm. Off the top of my head, they've show A Room With A View and Orlando recently uncut in daytime (both PG rated), and were doing a life drawing thing a few years ago at midday with a naked man as the model.

Channel 4 also repeated Peter Greenaway's Dante's Inferno adaptation in daytime back in the 90s without any of the nudity removed.

Lactatia and Desmond are being groomed for pedophiles.

Gay nightlife and the shady characters who operate in it love to corrupt the innocent.

Desmond can already "ki ki" with a drag queen about doing Special K (video below.) It won't be long before Lactatia is getting tips on how to douche before certain VIPs arrive at the after hours party. The drag circuit is full of sex workers (aka hustlers and porn stars), drug dealers, and drug addicts. No place for small children.

These are young boys who should be expressing themselves in glee clubs and children's theater workshops.

Look at the gays defending a grown man having his penis out in front of a 10 Year Old.

Wait until things turn on the LGBT community for all this disgusting behavior then they are gonna be crying how unfair life is again. This time the karma will have been earned.

Ain’t no big thing.

Before The Watershed

Visual and verbal references to sex and matters related to sex should be editorially justified and appropriately limited and inexplicit. Representations of sexual intercourse must not be shown unless there is "... a serious educational purpose". This means the actual act of sexual intercourse, both real and where it's acted, as opposed to other sexual behaviour. The inclusion of nudity and all references to sexual acts, verbal and visual, must be justifiable by the context. What is acceptable in a mid-afternoon, discussion programme aimed at adults may well not be suitable for inclusion in a Saturday morning magazine show, which attracts large numbers of children. In addition, the way in which material is presented, that is serious, flippant, or crude is likely to be a major factor in determining whether it is suitable or not.

It is most unlikely that any graphic sexual images or any explicit descriptions of sexual activity will be acceptable in pre-watershed programmes unless the programme has a serious educational purpose and, even then, any such material would require careful thought.

For example, whilst showing inexplicit acts of foreplay for example kissing or hugging is unlikely to be problematic in most pre-watershed programming, more overtly sexual activities for example foreplay involving genitalia or showing nudity, oral sex, masturbation, or sexual intercourse is very unlikely to be suitable for a family audience. Even if the sexual activity is happening off camera, it may still be too suggestive for transmission before 9pm, if it is clear what is happening.

Before the watershed, verbal references to sexual activity should be kept relatively inexplicit. Mild innuendo and oblique references to sex are more likely to be acceptable than comments or descriptions that leave little to the imagination.

Nudity in a sexual context is unlikely to be acceptable before the watershed unless strictly limited, whereas nudity in the context of an item about health or education, for example a beauty treatment or medical examination, is less likely to exceed viewers' expectations, although a flagging should be considered.

Full frontal nudity (both male and female), even in a non-sexual context, is unlikely to be acceptable before the watershed, unless there is a serious educational reason for showing it. Less explicit nudity, however, for example above waist nudity, catching a brief glimpse of someone from behind getting out of the shower, naturism, or topless sunbathing is unlikely to be problematic as long as it is editorially justified.

10 year olds shouldn't be dressing in drag, it shouldn't be celebrated with photo shoots , and it shouldn't be celebrated in this way. This was fucked up from the start.

It literally says full frontal nudity is not acceptable even in a non sexual way in what you posted R19....

[quote]Gay nightlife and the shady characters who operate in it love to corrupt the innocent. It won't be long before Lactatia is getting tips on how to douche before certain VIPs arrive at the after hours party.

Can't gay-hating fraus like R21 be banned from this site? These hate-filled cunts are always accusing all gay people of being pedoes. Why is it allowed?

I dont understand why his parents let him do this, he is just a child. I've never been a fan of drag queens, because I dont find them funny . Beside, "gay culture" it's not an environment for a children.

I am from the UK, and nudity is nothing like what you all claim. Nudity is shown after certain hours and the nudity shown prior to those hours are for educational purposes in a non sexual way.

Big Brother is considered a late night adult program in the UK and Australia etc... the USA and Canada are the only family version that exists.

Tired of bitchy vulgar drag queens representing gay culture, fuck the shit!

R27 I would agree with you if I didn't see a bunch of gays defending this and making excuses for pedophilia. Thats way worse than "homophobia"

You know how catty and nasty backstage can be. So the kid should pick up the salty language and attitude of bitter, shady adults who will most likely take their frustrations out on him? The minute he starts getting shady with him, they will suddenly play grown up on his ass and he will get his face broke. He should not be in that environment. Would you put a girl his age with a bunch of strippers - or even a straight boy with strippers? NO. So why do that with a gay child with drag queens? I'm surprised Canada's version of Child Services hasn't investigated this. It is inappropriate, tacky and most importantly, DANGEROUS, in more ways than one. When he starts talking about hiding his candy and enemas, get back to me and let me know how that works out for him.

R21 and R22 are the right wing loons who ignore the fact that straight, middle class white women are the ones living through their sons by pushing them into tbe drag circuit - not gay men. And r22 is also the homophobe who linked to the Daily Wire in their OP.

R27 Can't you see that when gay and lesbian advocates do things like this it leads to those stereotypes? This fucked up shite makes people think gay = pedo.

The moms are the wrongs for pushing their sons. The gays at those places are even more wrong for allowing them in:..

Yep, blame the gays R34. You're very good at that aren't you?

I'd say it was the other way around R35. The responsibility is mainly on the parents but venues and performers should set boundaries about the inclusion of minors especially pre teens.

R33 Why do you turn everything into politics? Some ignorant people still thinking that gay are pedos, things like that make them look like they are right

I do think drag can be creative expression for children. I'd be careful about exposing a child to drag "culture." Drag culture is adult expression.

The moms are just the same as the Munchausen By Proxy mothers whose need for attention either kills or near kills their children.

Those boys are likely doomed at this point to a life of dysfunction.

Drag is for adults and those who'll be dieing soon.

The NEW Trans World will soon be enveloping us all!

R40 I suspect the mom has MBP too - she’s very bizarre.

The fact that the OP lifted this from something that includes @Cernovich (i.e. alt-right sources) deserves an instant F&F. No need to bother with anything else.

Whoever said above that Drag Race has Disney-fied drag is right. It's not a good thing. Drag is supposed to be a space where performers can be irreverent, crass, and not have to worry about "being nice", "making it family-friendly", or "not offending" anyone. I recently saw a few ads for Drag Con and the ads had children and teenagers in them. WTF?? Why does everything have to be kid-friendly? Some things are not, should not, and should never be for young audience or family fun. If you want family fun, go to LegoLand or Disney. The Drag Race fandom has changed massively over the last ten years. It used to be a niche show for the LGBT community. Now, these queens have 15-year old straight girls obsessing over them and writing fan fiction about them. Yuck. Drag has jumped the shark.

Yes, get mad at OP for sharing the story. Not the parents or drag queens.

this is just as weird as if a little girl was backstage with a stripper wearing pasties. bizarre and inappropriate.

drag is a NIGHTLIFE art. let him playact at home.

Turn down the outrage machine, no one said that "all gays are pedos."

Anyone who has been on tour with the Drag Race crew knows that these are shady, drugged out, mentally unbalanced, literal whores. Anyone who says that they would happily send their 10 year-old son to hang out with them is lying to seem progressive, or needs their heads examined.

Like heterosexuals, we have a small percentage of pedophiles too. Most of us are upstanding citizens, but pedophiles walk among us and they hunt and groom boys for sex.

All of the Drag Race queens have talked about being stalked on social media and in real life. Why subject children to this shit?

It's a problem that right wing sources get to run with this stuff. We need left wing journalism that isn't afraid to criticise what is happening with these kids without resorting to tarring the entire gay/drag community.

You guys don’t think anyone in the lefty is homophobic? You all need wake up calls.

Drag is out of date. It's a relic from the days of oppression.

WE don't need that rubbish anymore.

Re: The Munchausens by Proxy theory is intriguing because the mom of another high-profile drag kid - “Desmond” - also put HER son into danger by allowing him to hang out with Michael Alig, the ketamine-snorting convicted murderer/dismemberer of Party Monster fame. Instead of injecting household cleaners into their kids’ bloodstreams, they pair them with dangerous criminals and pedophiles instead.

Sure are a lot of people using this story to bash gays, even though this kid's parents aren't gay or part of the community.

Drag isn't for kids. Full stop. Unfortunately, in their effort to appeal to fraus (like these kids' mothers) and fraus-in-training by making the show more mainstream, Drag Race has sent the message that it's ok to dress your kid in drag like any adult and parade them around for money and attention.

Sharon Needles once blew Alaska on stage. Willam once fisted a guy during a performance, and posted a link to a video of it right here on DL. No way that these new queens getting into the scene will do anything like that. It's become very sterilized, "disneyfied" as someone above put it.

Was it Lactatia's parents that were constantly crowdfunding to help get their rent paid, or was it the other, sickly-looking one?

Which gays are being bashed, R53? The parents are straight (btw, it was Desmond's mom who was e-panhandling for the rent, R54.)

Climb down off the cross R53. Most of us are bashing the mothers, not "the gays."

It's only going to take one or two more pre-teens dressed in girls' clothing getting photographed with adult drag queens before something happens. Some will say enough is enough. Others with money and sex on their minds will exploit. The latter will use the four kids to launch a Drag Race Junior League, satifying the ones who don't want the kids to mingle with the older ones, and trolling the pedos to come pay to see these kids in a show.

When fathers start bringing their sons to the competition, you know the whole thing has started to reek. While the kids are on stage, the dad's will be setting appointments with guests to meet their sons in private.

Drag Race is a parade of drug addition and mental illness.

^^ I’m not into drag much, but am curious about what goes on behind the scenes. Please, D.R. insiders - spill some details instead of making vague claims. Us Mama Ru really embracing drag kids or just doing it for publicity?

At this point, Ru just sees Drag Race as a cash cow. He has resigned himself to the fact that drag is now watered down for the masses, so if that means having 13-year-olds at DragCon doing a runway walkoff contest, so be it.

If it comes out that these boys were drugged and/or molested, Ru’s going to lose a chunk of the very mainstream fanbase that contributed to the rise of “drag children” because he endorsed this shit. Sorry Ru, you got to start acting like a grown-ass man, and stifle that inner-child who aches to be friends with preteen male divas.

Well I have to say I think this show has been pointless from the beginning.

I understand that if you stripped away all the tat from the star of the show one would be left with a withered, wizened, brown, bald man.

^^ I bet he really looks like Scatman Crothers, lol.

This is wrong, no question about it.

But the breeders can go fuck themselves. They are making out like gay men are pedophiles all the while straight men abuse underage girls all the time and straight women excuse and coddle their men and call the victims sluts and whores. This Woods asshole himself is a creep who creeps on underage girls. Breeders need to look inwards before they accuse us of being pedophiles. Fuck them!

^^ It’s only cross-dressing heathens who threaten the God-fearing, middle class hetero parents who routinely put their daughters into hyper-sexualized dance troops because seeing a seven year old in heavy makeup, popping her booty, is just so ADORABLE.

[quote]Climb down off the cross [R53]

Who is this "climb down off of the coss" troll we picked up? I've seen this no less than four times today on threads, and always used inappropriately, like the person has no idea what it even means.

Drag Race with classic drag queens couldn't survive in the current mainstream culture - they'd get pilloried and then advertisers would pull all funding. The only reason the show and drag is acceptable now is because it's been so watered down to appeal to the PC masses. It would not be a commercial success without that extreme sacrifice.

I don't think I would mind having a homogenised Drag Race if it weren't for RuPaul representing her show as the "future of drag" with every season. She's setting the standard and laying claim to it, so when a straight/PC person goes to a drag show with one of the older queens, they will flee in horror, assuming they're even allowed to do their standard antics.

Drag is supposed to be about subversiveness and exaggeration, but it's not that any longer.

One of the gay clubs I went to back in the late 60s used to have drag night every Wednesday. The show of local drag queens lasted less than a hour. They'd lip-sync to Diana Ross songs, swear a lot, tell some jokes, show some skin--nothing too outrageous. Their pay was a couple of bar drinks. It was fun, however, and a little racey back in 1968. Being gay and being able to socialize in a public club was still new to us.

This is so full of stinky fish I can’t believe it.

This proves the webmaster doesn’t care about gay people one bit.

This hateful thread would have been shut down long ago in the old days.

Correct me i'm wrong, but nobody is molesting this kid and the kid is keeping all of his (admittedly ugly) clothes ON so gay people shouldn't have to defend against accusations of pedo. Having said that, keep kids the fuck out of drag, fuck ru paul for selling a gay staple to heterosexuals, and I thought Violet had no waist? Looks like she's got a normal sized waist in that picture? Can one of you queens explain this to me... is it sever internal re positioning that's going to lead to a hernia is 3,2,1?

How are kids allowed in a gay club in the first place? Everything about this story is inappropriate. WTF is wrong with people.

Haters going to hate! You go gurl!

Haven’t we heard and read for years how dangerous and exploitive child beauty pageants are and how they sexualize young girls? How is this any different

^Those pageant girls aren't doing photoshoots with naked men....

Uh, I beg to differ!

According to Desmond’s mom, he’s autistic, which explains why he’s so focused on and obsessed with drag. Mom also admits to having him watch Drag Race with her when he was a toddler which is probably how he caught the interest. Thank god she didn’t watch Sesame Street with him, or he’d be into puppeteering instead. That’s way more creepy and sinister than drag.

The mom is a liar and a famewhore. Her son, as a probably-gay 6 year-old, liked to prance around with towels and blankets and a few years later emerged with a fully branded social media presence as DESMOND IS AMAZING!

The mom claims he is autistic and sensitive to audiovisual over stimulation, plus he has social anxiety ... yet she books him into pride parades and nightclubs!

She's exactly the type of fame hungry stage mom lacking concern for her child's welfare who can be easily manipulated into overnight visits to wealthy patrons (just ask the ghost of Michael Jackson.)

And for whoever is complaining that this is smearing "gay men as pedophiles" ... Fuck off! This is about cleaning house and driving out the small fraction of "boy lovers" and "minor attracted persons" who want to prey on little boys. We successfully threw out NAM BLA from our pride parades decades ago, but don't think they've given up.

R77 Fetishizing our queerness is the other side of the gay child abuse coin flipped by clueless straight parents, although it’s much rarer than being invalidated and abused for not “acting straight.” Autistic kids also have a higher rate of gender non-conformity in general; many identify as trans, although Desmond seems happy being a boy who happens to wear femme clothes. The mom is scary though - what other attention-getting direction will she take him when his career in youth drag burns out?

When that kid grows up, he's going to be a very angry person.

This is why they hate us.

Nudity does not equal sex

It was tucked!

STILL INAPPROPRIATE

[quote] It was tucked!

Yep ... Totally kid-friendly and not at all creepy.

Not really naked, no story here.

No one should allow their 10-year son to be doing this, much less be photographed and shared online.

The problem with drag is that it's all about pushing boundaries. Children need boundaries. They need adults who say "no," adults who say "this isn't for you right now."

Gay nightlife is literally past their bedtime. But, then again, gay nightlife is all about "getting that coin" and clearly there is money to be made.

And gay nightlife in general is struggling to stay afloat, thus club owners and promoters are needing to find new ways to garner attention.

R87 thank White fraus for that. They just wanna stay in

Childhood is so brief and fleeting treat them as kids they are not adults. Ma and Pa should let him dress up at home with other kids his age.

No kidding. In my city, two gay bars shut down just last month, six months after a third shut its doors.

One of the biggest clubs remaining in the gay area caters almost exclusively to straights, university students in particular. The gays only go there on Pride week.

Bars and clubs everywhere are closing so are shopping malls, people don’t want to leave their screen.

R91 it’s scary. People don’t wanna go out. They wanna stay at home. Even in NYC nightlife is boring now.

LA is the only place recently that still has a good nightlife

Pint-size drag queens bumping and grinding are the solution to declining gay nightlife? Insane!

Desperate times, R93.

Let’s start having those pint size Queens suck dick next to liven up night life!!!

If it was a female child all tarted up like that, nobody would care, since girls are expected to perform "drag" our whole lives.

Oh, shut up JonBenét!

Why many gay bars are closing?

It's because of Violet's mangina. It must FEED on the souls and energy of nightclubs. It hungers for life, for power, so that it can one day escape its fleshy prison and ascend to challenge the Lord of Xothmore!

isnt Violet a former porn star to boot?

how is this possibly ok?

this kid should be in school. not learning to tuck.

I think Drag Kid should wear a "breast place."

R79 Stabby stabby angry?

R102 let's just say "The Drag Queen Murders" direct release movie will be go-to entertainment for anyone trying to find out what REALLY happened at that Brentwood mansion.

Desmond's parents are under investigation from children's services after being reported for letting him dance for dollars after-hours in Brooklyn. She also claims that all of his earnings are being placed into a trust fund. Despite the fact that she and his father are unemployed and panhandling online. (Insert your own "Sure, Jan" image here.)

Whew! That kid looks... Unfortunate... In that photo.

Frankie Grande Jr.

No happy child looks like that.

Those parents need to Be investigated

His "dad" looks odd (if you know what i mean)

Are you suggesting his dad dressed him up like a girl and bounced him on his lap, while their Big Family Dog Bowsford loiters nearby?

No more GoFundMe

Wow, r104. I can't see how his parents feel it's worth this kind of aggravation for themselves, and worse, for the kid. He's the one who might be traumatized by all this as he becomes an adult.

[Quote]The family of an 11-year-old Brooklyn boy known internationally as one of the city’s most talked about drag queens continues to receive death threats, as well as investigatory visits from city social workers, weeks after writers for conservative and pro-life websites ignited a firestorm over his recent performance at a Williamsburg bar.

[Quote]Mom Wendy Napoles said haters of her son Desmond Napoles — who performs in drag as Desmond is Amazing — filed more than 150 complaints with the city’s Administration for Children’s Services after his December show at Meserole Street gay bar 3 Dollar Bill, which went viral when critics attacked the performance as exploitative “pedophilia” because Desmond wore a crop top while accepting cash from the crowd.

[Quote]Each of those complaints necessitates its own 60-day investigation, resulting in almost daily home visits from agency inspectors — some of whom arrive as late as 3 am, according to Napoles.

[Quote]“We’re prisoners in our own home,” she said. “They’ll come anytime.”
