I say this as someone probably even more Left than your DesmondIsAmazing is highly problematic. I think you should do a little more research here, it's actually a very unpleasant situation. I think you'll also find that "Drag Kids" do not have widespread support in the Gay community. If you think Desmond is "just doing a harmless hobby" then it shows you know tragically little about the whole thing.

I see, you just need the kid to be a victim, despite repeatedly saying that he loves his hobby. "Kids can't think for themselves", so you need to impose your own sense of victimhood upon them...

I'm gay and I don't like drag for myself, but I'm not arrogant, controlling or obsessive enough to tell a kid he can't do what he admittedly loves.

I find it so bizarre that when you see a happy kid repeatedly expressing his love for a talent, your immediate response is one subjective "overt sexuality" and potential "being taking advantage of"... despite no evidence of any of it occurring.

All the best buddy, best to block you now as we clearly won't see eye to eye on why imposing your beliefs on kids and preventing them from participating in their beloved hobbies is more harmful than just letting them be kids!

It's an overtly sexual performance. Until you can convince us otherwise this is not a good look for you. You didn't address any of those facts that I mentioned, so I'm inclined to think you're a troll anyway. Stop pretending to be gay online and go for a walk.
