Bigots Are Losing Their Minds Over This Boy's Excellent Hillary Clinton Costume
A lesbian couple who tweeted a photo of their son's Halloween costume over the weekend were accused of "indoctrinating" him, because he chose to dress as Hillary Clinton.
"Our 8 year-old son is with you @hillaryclinton today and everyday," the boy's mom wrote, letting her followers know that the hair is "#notawig" and the "#wholefamswithher."
In the photo, the boy is serving premium presidential realness in a bright yellow Clinton-esque pantsuit jacket, a Hillary pin, some sensible flats, and an incredible handmade Hillary briefcase.
The boy's mom said they'd originally suggested their daughter go trick-or-treating as Hillary this year, but their son wound up being much more attracted to the idea.
Reactions to the boy's costume were mixed, and the photo attracted a boatload of ignorant trolls who tweeted their disapproval.
"They are a lesbian couple and they're indoctrinating him into becoming gay," one person tweeted. "Sick."
The user added: "Dressing up a boy as a girl is stomach-churning. This is why gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt."

But luckily the post received some supportive comments as well.
"What a fantastic reminder to us all that this election 100% impacts our children and how they see themselves. ??," one user tweeted.
@DebbersGar Everything about this is wonderful. You're wonderful. Your son is wonderful.

Another wrote: "Everything about this is wonderful. You're wonderful. Your son is wonderful."
Responding to a comment about the boy's "perfect" hair that is "so amazing," his mother seemed unfazed by the influx of hate comments.
"We'll be back at it with the blow dryer tomorrow morning for Halloween," she wrote.
That's the spirit!
