"Drag Kid" Desmond Is Amazing Claps Back at Conservative Site's Hit Piece

"They meant to make me look like a fool...But really, they made me look even more AMAZING."

Desmond Is Amazing, America's youngest superstar drag queen, has once again lived up to his name by putting a conservative website in its place after it published a hit piece on him.

The 11-year-old, who recently performed at the Wigstock Revival, took part in a demonstration organized by the group Gays Against Guns to call for stricter gun control laws to help put an end to mass shootings.

This prompted a snarky and insulting post from the right-wing website Red State, which clutched its pearls at the fact that Desmond is unapologetically gay and fabulous.

Writer Alex Parker claimed that "in addition to his busy schedule as a gay and 'drag kid' activist, amazing Desmond’s moved into anti-gun radicalism. That’s right—sometimes it isn’t enough to slap on some rouge, top yourself with a daffodil wig, and pull on a pleather polka-dotted sequined v-neck tapered blousy netted metallic backless cocktail dress; sometimes ya gotta rage against the 2nd Amendment."

Desmond showed his haters he was anything but ashamed, as he has been doing his whole life, by clapping back beautifully on Instagram.

"They meant to make me look like a fool and hurt and embarrass my family. They tried to make me look crazy for protesting against gun violence in schools with (Change the Ref) and (Gays Against Guns NY)," he wrote.

"But really, they made me look even more AMAZING, even going so far as to emphasize that I've earned awards for my work in the LGBTQ+ community, that my career started in 2014 with (Jinkx Monsoon), and that I created the term 'drag kid.' I mean, they ain't lying! I've done ALL of those things and I'm grateful for the recognition," he continued. He then called them "a sad bunch of adults who have nothing better to do than bully a child, call them names, and make up sexual scenarios about them."

Sashay away, Red State. Desmond, you're amazing, you stay, honey. We can't wait to see what you do next.
