BOSTON, Massachusetts, May 9, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― An 11-year-old drag performer known as Desmond-is-Amazing is now a model for a shoe company.
The Converse footwear company, once known for its fashionable high top basketball shoes, has announced a new “partnership” with Desmond Napoles and five other “individuals connected with the LGBTQ+ community” to market its new “Pride collection.”
The announcement accompanied a photograph of Desmond dressed in a colorful shoulder-baring outfit and heavy makeup, posing suggestively before the five other models, including a man dressed as a woman and two women dressed as boys.
Publishing the news on Twitter, Converse said, “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. Contributions are supporting @ItGetsBetter@OutMetroWest & @FenwayHealth.
“It Gets Better” and “Out Metro West” are LBGT charities, and “Fenway Health” is a Boston medical organization specializing in the health of people with same-sex attractions and HIV/AIDS research. Converse is a Boston company, owned by Nike.

So has New Balance been doing any of this mentally deranged agenda (especially this shit that's designed to prep kids to be the prey of homosexual pedophiles)?

I swore off Converse as soon as Nike bought them.

Time for Vans to step up and make basket ball and running shoes.

I’ve been buying Vans for my boys since I refuse to support Converse. We also buy New Balance - they are a good, MAGA company!
