Converse has announced a new partnership with 11-year-old Desmond Napoles — a self-identified gay child who dresses in drag and frequents gay nightclubs as Desmond is Amazing.
The new campaign, which includes five other models from within the LGBTQ community, was designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pride and features a new collection of footwear.
The site reads, "What started as a rebellious fight for equality has since grown into a loud, proud assertion of true self-expression. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pride with a glitter-dipped collection of parade-worthy sneakers, including our first-ever trans flag design. Because equal rights are for everyone."
The brand explains that they are committed to "supporting movements for positive social change and amplifying youth voices as they spark progress to build the future they believe in."
"Let's spread a message of love together and shout a little louder," the page adds.
Desmond's shoes — low-top Chuck-style sneakers with a vivid rainbow design — retail for $95.
On Monday, the company tweeted, "We're happy to launch our Pride Collection, partnering with six individuals connected to the LGBTQ+ community who show the power of expressing one's true self."
Desmond, who appeared on NBC's "Today" in 2018, said that he began watching "RuPaul's Drag Race" when he was just 3 years old.
Watching the drag queens perform, he said, changed his life, and he knew that he'd just watched a preview of his own future.
The child also says that he's gay and has been "out" since birth.
His parents fully support his life choices, and encourage his performances.
"Drag is for anyone, no matter what sex, age, gender, identity, ability, or race," Wendy Napoles, Desmond's mother, told Pink News in 2018.

For a little human/child psychology lesson:
Children inherently crave structure and guidance. This is why they act out. They are naturally testing limits and looking for boundaries. Without those boundaries and limits, they will continue to act out until someone puts them in line.
Once put in line, the cycle starts over and they test the limits and someone checks them again. That's what children do. That's how maturity and growth happen. A parents responsibility, and by extension society's, is to make children understand limits and rules and boundaries.
If you never ever put a child in line or correct a behavior then they never mature and we're left with an immature and unstable youth with no purpose.
At a certain point the child's brain is past the point of no return and you're left with an insane human being. Literally insane as in extremely mentally unstable. And insane human beings are capable of some very extreme behaviors.
Bottom line is, Child Protective Services should find him a new home.
Can someone explain to me this absolutely insane trend of parents refusing to be parents? Supporting a child's decisions?
This is absolute lunacy. I honestly feel horrible for the child.

Why would you let your 3 year old watch RuPaul drag race.

His mother thinks this is appropriate.

Including pedophiles.
Make no mistake, the public push to normalize pedophilia is coming.

How is an 11 year old kid allowed in bars?

Decisions like these are suicidal. Converse doesn’t sell many shoes to people in the demographic of gay children. They sell a lot of shoes to demographics that are creeped the f*ck out by stuff like this.

Reading between the lines..
Basically that kid is getting raped.

Because it involves the gay community.

You think it's appropriate for an 11 year old boy to be in a dress, around naked gay adult men?

I think you are wrong here. You never see Chucks on the basketball court any more. They are worn (for the most part) by teens and twenty-somethings who celebrate or aggressively tolerate the LBGHQ agenda.

Please don't address that troll. He's never going to meaningfully engage you because he's either a dedicated troll or an extremely ignorant npc.
Either way he's not worth talking to and only serves to derail threads.
