Converse shoe company is facing backlash for partnering with an 11-year-old drag queen named Desmond Napoles.
Converse tweeted that it is “partnering with 6 individuals connected to the LGBTQ+ community who show the power of expressing one’s true self.”

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

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.
