One of these 6 individuals is Desmond Napoles, an 11-year-old ‘drag queen.’

Desmond’s bio on the Converse website describes him as a “drag kid/LGBTQ+ advocate.”

The 11-year-old drag queen has been a favorite star of the mainstream media.

In November 2018, Desmond appeared on ‘Good Morning America.’ Desmond wore a wig, high heels, dress, and makeup while the audience cheered.

Desmond was also filmed dancing at a gay night club called ‘3 Dollar Bill.’

People threw dollar bills at the 11-year-old boy while he was on stage.

So disturbing.
