The left-wing Huffington Post put a disgusting video on Twitter today of ‘drag kids’, showing this little 10-year-old boy dressed up in drag talking about how he loves being an LGBTQ activist:
If you wanted proof that the future is queer, look no further than this inspiring drag kid, Desmond Is Amazing. 🌈 pic.twitter.com/368FZtVVbp

I’ll be honest and tell you when I first saw this video it didn’t even phase me. Our culture is rotting from the inside out and unfortunately I think I’m getting used to seeing evil displays like this, so much so that it doesn’t even generate proper outrage anymore.
But there were some on Twitter who saw this and quickly called on Twitter to enforce their rules about child exploitation, because that’s exactly what this is:
Hello @Twitter,
I thought child exploitation was against the rules.
Can you please suspend @HuffPost‘s account until they take down this tweet?
Thanks in advance. https://t.co/03qMwlXsiH

@TwitterSupport @TwitterSafety this is promotion of child abuse, exploitation and pedophilia. https://t.co/tIRCQmaLgC

Even a gay man who is part of the LGBT scene in New York said this was unacceptable:
Putting ten-year-olds in front of massive audiences to push your politics is insane. Justifications do not change the facts. As a gay man and a member of the NYC LGBT community, I find this representation of my queer identity DISTURBING! Quit using Gay people and #Pride for $ https://t.co/xoAB0aefVw

Someone pointed to the fact that Twitter has a policy against this:
We have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation on Twitter.https://t.co/X0hPDRmjSG

Zero tolerance? But the video is still up, as you can see.
UPDATE: The Huffington Post tweet has now been removed. Not sure whose doing that was but hopefully it was Twitter. I’ll update you if I find outmore.
