Megan Wennberg's Drag Kids is as much about young performers finding a community as it is the support of their parents via nparts

Laddy Gaga, a.k.a. Stephan, is nine years old and knows how to work a stage — in four-inch Prada heels, no less, which he first walked in at the age of two. The long, bushy, blonde wig flanking his small, slight body should blanket his energy, but instead it fuels it. As a big voice begins to sing Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi,” a joy only as pure as a child’s emanates off him and rouses the crowd.

His mother, Gabbie, is a little more aggrieved: “We don’t walk out in the streets with him jacked up because that would just be inviting abuse from other people that we don’t really want and he doesn’t deserve. If he wants to go out in his glitter he can do that, but it has to be in the show.” Like the other mothers, Victoria does her son’s make-up, helps with choreography, and saves the day with last-minute costume repairs. She ensures the family attends Pride every year, and gets to see and experience queer art and performance, which has been essential to each of the kids’ self-discovery. While it’s fun, it’s far from easy. The family is based in Springfield, Miss., in the middle of the Bible Belt.

nparts Obviously kids should not be doing these types of performances because they are fundamentally sexual......

nparts I wonder the comment Conrad Black would reserve for the National Post. These drag performers might be better appreciated in Disney Land.

nparts It’s obscene and has no place anywhere in our country or on the entire planet.

nparts Just props for the pedos

nparts SMH Cdnpoli Onpoli Education SocialNorms

nparts Ok ...enough ! We are bombarded daily with Trudeau ‘s gender lunacy. We want news happening around Canada and the World. Not Trudeaus kid’s gender nonsense .These are kids. Stop promoting their sexuality like pornography! Leave these kids be!!

nparts _sadafahsan encouraging the sexualization of kids. So progressive.

nparts I wonder how many kids, who later believe themselves to be damaged by these hypersexualized and superficial trends, will decide to pursue legal action against the corporations who propagated this stuff.

boucheetoreil nparts That's child abuse.

nparts This is one of the most disgusting things on earth. Government should look into this kind of child abuse activity.

nparts Gross!

nparts

nparts Why are you promoting this demonic and sinister activity? Shame.

nparts Community of Pedos

nparts Why is the media constantly bombarding Canadians with the blatant exploitation of children? I don’t understand. 90% of us no matter what religion or cultural background think this is wrong.

nparts Digusting.

nparts Culture is human nature. The kid is doing what culture it is exposed to. That's what we called that kid is doing what it feels natural. If a culture encourages a kid to do something, it will do it.

nparts child abuse and pedophilia. Plain and simple….its messed up big time. Anyone going to these events needs a door knocking by the cops.

nparts At time of posting, not a SINGLE reply in support of the content of this article. Pedophilia JeffreyEpstien FreeTommy

nparts The world has become a very frightening, shocking and sick place Canada's media is glorifying this severe dysfunctional activity At the same time as it's mezmorized by Epstein's pedophilia There is no question the end times are near in the fourth turning is around the corner

nparts Just no ratio

nparts Canadians will never accept this. Don't even try to make us.

nparts You are glorifying pedophilia. The children are being confused by adults. 'Leaving Neverland' is a fantastic documentary of how young children can be manipulated into thinking this type of behaviour is acceptable. Shame PedophileEnabler CBC

nparts noooooo, these kids look like street hookers. it's not appropriate. no one was cool with toddlers and tiaras, so why is this okay. even calling them drag kids is weird... do they get money thrown at them too?

nparts FuckCBCNews

nparts What a bunch of degenerates at your newspaper. This is nothing less than pedophilia.

nparts Will the creep from the west coast my wax get a gig in this disgusting show. Enabling pedophiles is disgusting

nparts Perfect show for pedophiles.

nparts Unleash the ratio memes

nparts Time to defund the CBCNews

nparts This is so wrong on many levels but the CBCNews is so proud of it😖

nparts No it’s child abuse. They get these ideas from Tv and people with authority in their lives.

nparts Megan Wennberg's Drag Kids is as much about young performers finding a community as it is about gay adult men throwing money at child go-go dancers. Fixed that for you. I’m sure the kids do find a community. It’s still creepy as fuck.

nparts 'Drag kids'----why are children being sexualized? Letkidsbekids

nparts Pedophilia not performance

nparts I don't think makeup and sexualized costumes should be worn by children whether pageantry or drag. It's not appropriate.

nparts L'utilisation d'enfants hypersexualisés à des fins mercantiles est abject et indigne. C'est de la décadence médiatique.

nparts WTF is this garbage. This is pedo 101. This isnt just kids dressing up, alot of this is sexualized

nparts This is another step to the normalization of pedo’s. Sick.

nparts To you the national post, you should be fined and thrown in jail for promoting this story !

nparts Is Epstein the producer of this doc?

nparts Guess I’m cancelling my subscription debased degrading exploitation predatory abuse perverse

nparts It's sick 😡😡😡😡

nparts Nop

nparts Stupidity Maximus

nparts It’s the sexualization of children. You can spin it and sell it any way you want but it is what it is.

nparts Vehemently object. Some supreme court laws in the USA around pornography in the early 90's were passed oddly close to the time of some donations from Jeffery Epstein. Coincidence? Likely, yes. But look at what's happening with Jessica Yaniv, too. This is a bad idea.

nparts This is debauched child abuse.

nparts

nparts And sexual predators. WaxHerBalls

Video shows bison charge young girlYellowstone Park officials are investigating a Twitter video that shows a bison charging a 9-year-old girl. 'Every man, woman and child' fend for themselves I guess. Some life lessons must be learned the hard way. Regretfully, it was the child, not the parents. 10-20 ft near a bison? not a petting zoo and even goats can be dangerous if intimidated. People are so bloody stupid.
