Sexualizing children is wrong. Gay, straight, whatever. It’s just always wrong.

Children should never be part of 'adult' type activities! Not drinking, not drugging, and nothing sexual - EVER!

I gotta say, I was at a drag show here in FL and there was a little boy at the show ... when the drag queen saw him she was super embarrassed and chastised the parents for having the child there and they all changed up their routines because of that...I had HUGE respect for those queens and I think they would also say they're not part of this community.

As a male survivor of the child s** industry I find this grooming hurtful , harmful as well as terrorizing!

I almost got physical when I went to a show and it was all adult humor and props. They introduced a new act, "Ella Mentary!" He was 8 and surrounded by drunks. I lost my shit. I happen to know the owners of the establishment and went to the bar where Bikers had stopped in and said, "Did you know there is a child downstairs?!" It got taken care of and they were never allowed to come perform.

This is literally what a South Park episode is like

The moment your child says „Put me on Facebook so everybody can give me likes!“ is the moment you take your child to the side, sit them down and explain to them that social media is not for children, empty klicks from random people on the internet do not raise or lower your self worth and there is nothing to be gained by being popular anywhere but pressure and danger on your life. The family complains how they are threatened by people who don’t like what they do and even though threatening or doing harm to anyone isn’t to be condoned, they brought this entirely upon themselves. They are the ones who decided to put themselves and their child on the internet, they are the ones who put their son on tv shows and interviews and stages and they then they complain! Children don’t belong on social media, nor on TV or a stage bigger than a school play. We all agree on children absolutely not being able to consent to „physical relationships“ then why isn’t it common sense that a child is not able to consent to being broadcast to a whole planet of people of incredibly different mindsets and willingness to act on them? Don‘t. Put. Your. Child. On. Display!

I once went to a comic con and saw a drag queen walking around he was a chill guy. When i met him i told him i like his outfit, and he said thanks, you should come see my show WHEN you turn 21. (He thought i was 16 not 21) He didnt go into detail about his work because he thought i was younger then i was and he didnt try to explain anythint to me or anything of the sort. (At the time i was 23.) But he didnt know that, and to this day i still thank him for being so kind.

These parents are PIMPING their kids. Turning them out for clout and a pat on the back🤮

" sentenced to LESS then a year for ELEVEN felony child sex crimes" what in the FUCK !?!?!

I remember getting bamboozled as a kid turning on the tv and I see “drag race” thinking ima about to see some cars racing but it was a gross awakening.

Can’t believe they are gaslighting people into thinking this is normal, ok, or not grooming/sex abuse of minors. This is insane.

Just because a kid enjoys dressing up in colourful costumes and dancing, doesn't mean, they should be a stripper at 6yo! What the hell is wrong with these people?! Get him into a good musical class and that's it! The kid will have just as much fun without being sexually exploited and traumatized for life.

First: I don't understand the obsession with involving kids in LGBT stuff, like when I was a kid I wasn't worried about sexuality or identity, I wanted to play with plushies and dolls and that was it, I wasn't thinking "oh that makes me whatever" Second: just let kids be kids, a boy playing with a doll means that he's a boy playing with a doll, a girl that doesn't like to wears skirts just mean she's a girl that doesn't like to wear skirts. Sometimes kids are simpler than most people think they are

that kids drag name was "LACTATIA" did no one else catch that??????

I have zero issue with drag. But it’s adult performance, sexualized, mature themed jokes etc etc. it’s very inappropriate to put that around little kids.

when the kid said "powerfull" to the question from the dad it gave me shivers. That is not something a kid says, that is coached.

I was a male trapped in a woman’s body until my mother gave birth to me!

You drawing attention to this type of thing is important. Great video solid job.

I told myself I wasn’t gonna drink. Then you showed kids in bars performing and I texted my bf asking for the rum. Jesus Christ what is wrong with some parents?!?!?!?

The bigger question is why do these parents bring their children to watch them! If strip clubs allowed children to accompany their parent, these are the parents that would be there! 😢

Gay man here (49 y/o) and I too find it "child drag queens" unsettling, Amir. And even the name... calling an 8 year old 'Laticia', as in one who lactates??? What's wrong with the parents???

Honestly, you make my faith in humanity come back a little. As a bisexual, I just do my own thing and like girls and boys. I'm not pulling up to the nearest kindergarten like "HEY KIDS YALL EVER HEAR OF TWEARKING?!"

What I don't understand is why these stunning and brave individuals who are so confident in themselves and their identity, require validation from children.

'He whispered to me and asked 'can I testify?' I can't...there is no way a 6 year old can articulate that. They are putting words in that child's mouth. This gives me Jazz Jennings vibes. This is sad.

Thank you for bringing this up. This is a real problem and we need to take it seriously. Teachers go behind parents backs who try to protect their children from this degeneracy. They hide behind the guise of inclusion and diversity while grooming children, they need to be held accountable.

Hugs because we all need one after watching this it's scary.

If you ask a 6 year old "what are your pronouns?", the only natural answer would be "whats that mean?". For him to automatically be like "she/they" is so messed up.

Great work 🎉 ☁️ I feel the same about little girls pageants yet it continues….

Thank you so very much for speaking out on this! Your voice on this topic is so desperately needed in this world right now, and I for one, couldn't be more grateful for you!

Can’t we get like…gay doctors,scientists, firefighters to host story hour with children..????

There is a 0% chance that the 6 year old said that drag makes him feel "powerful" without coaching. 6 year olds don't have that sort of understanding yet. To them power is physical strength.

9:41 I'm awake at 2 in the morning, my drink is empty, and I consider myself numb to these things. I think we can both agree that THIS CRAP IS REPULSIVE.

you speak so much sense and never raise your voice I wish more people could debate subjects so rationally

When a child grows up, he can become a Drag Queen at any time. But child won't be able to become a scientist, surgeon, actor, writer, geologist, etc. at any time. I frankly despise parents who concentrate on molding their child into Drag, instead of taking an interest in the child’s desires and developing child in a diversified way, so that child always has a choice.

The parents need to be put in jail for child abuse and profiting from child pornography The sexualization of kids is real

Mr. Odom, You are what I would like to call a beautiful mind! You are a gay black man... I'm a straight married white man. You my friend my like minded brother of another color I appreciate you for what you do! I'm aware of all of this B.S. and I have thought about doing what you are! Thank you for doing what you do. If I did what you do?... Dead man walking! I am 54 this year, but I believe it was all started when they took the national anthem out of the schools and then they took the kids and told them that they could have their own parents arrested for touching them for a punishment that they (The kid)were well deserving of. A daughter had sent her father to prison for 20 years for sexually touching her. Which never happened, but Because he wouldn't let her go to a friend's house! Shit like this and that... Just keep doing what you're doing!❤

Someone call Eleven!! We’re in the upside down 😂😢 laughing at the parents and crying for that poor child.

It’s sad… just let kids be kids… my cousin tried and failed to push her son into this… moved him into the middle of it in SF.. it’s a bad neighborhood and I brought my concerns to her. My grandmother said “you don’t have kids so you don’t have a say”… I’m thinking.. I don’t need to have kids to know this isn’t right… and me personally I love drag but it’s not for children ☹️

We need more proof to show the people who refuse to listen to understand what the issue is and we don't actually hate them

Thank you for speaking your mind. There are so many of us that feel the exact same way. Praying 🙏

Thank you for that intro. Just because we disagree doesn't make us homophobic and it gets exhausting explaining this. A lot of these people don't understand our perspective or views or concerns and immediately accuse us for being hateful. And thank you for talking about these issues..

This reminds me of Toddlers and Tiaras. One "mother" openly stated that she had children specifically to put them in beauty pageants because she loved the attention. It's the same thing with these parents who have "drag queen children", they want the attention and it's absolutely disgusting! Thanks for the video Amir, have a lovely week❤

Notice how most of the child participants appear to be well under 5th grade. Babies. With their parents holding their hand and guiding them into this shit while they don't have the sense to say NO!

Cannot thank you enough for this video and keeping it in the awareness 💯

This is disturbing. The line is crossed.

This whole video is a testament to the saying of "every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child." 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

This is disgusting. This feels like borderline sex trafficking, which is done by parents more often than you might think.

Dude I've been watching your videos and I love them! You are one of the main reasons why I say there are two sides to everything! Keep up the good work!

More people really need to see this and especially ur videos, You are 100% right and hit the nail on the head, Literally living in some satire type world that you’d see on Southpark, Got my sub for sure!

Kids don't understand the sexual nature of drag. this is why they cannot consent to it and this is why it is inappropriate. kids can express themselves in many different ways but drag is not one of them. any adult advocating for this is very confused. it also seems like parody that people are freaking out worried that drag will be banned for people under 18 or in public places. like we're all supposed to duck and cover because men in wigs and makeup won't be able to dance in certain places at certain times. it's the most privileged problem I've ever heard of in my life. like we're really supposed to be super upset about it? I know really good people who have fallen for all of this stuff. It disturbs me because this is some heavy brainwashing and it's working on a lot of people.

“All I wanted was to get married and adopt, and now we’re here” girl…. I felt every word of that!!

This is absolutely insane! Bravo for you making this video. Very tastefully done. Much respect.

You poor thing. I could see that this was especially difficult for you. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video and share your viewpoint on this issue. As the mom of three, it blows my mind that ANY parent would think that this behavior is ok. As parents, we are supposed to protect our children from adult behaviors, not expose them to it.

When a literal TODDLER stepped on that stage I physically felt Amir's emotional distress alongside my own. I completely understand why he needed the strong stuff, I hate alcohol in general and never drink but that actually made me want to join him bro... WHY. Also to those "parents" who said people call them all kinds of horrible things: you completely deserve it and I sincerely hope to God it gets way, waaaaay worse for you. (Don't break the law and ruin your lives for these "people" though, they're not worth it. They'll naturally get their comeuppance one way or another for doing this to that boy.)

Imagine in 15 years all the people who are going to need therapy to find out who they really are because their parents wanted to be praised for “supporting” their kids.

“It makes me feel powerful” is not the language of a child. That sounds like that father’s language.

Thank you so much for speaking up on this.

Not appropriate for children period. I am sorry if it offends people. Jubilee did a liberal vs conservative gay conversation & it was disturbing how many of them agreed its okay for kids 🫤🫤 Chloe Cole let that be a story for kids. Not make kids think its "cool" or a fad thanks to social media.

I'm not straight. I'm not homophobic. I've been to many, many drag shows. I know several Drag Queens from RuPaul's Drag Race, even some winners. I'd go to shows every Tuesday in West Hollywood for years. I've since removed myself from the community, mostly because of political differences. All that being said, I think that anyone who permits or watches children perform drag show be arrested. I think anyone who performs drag in front of children should also be arrested. It's completely inappropriate. Drag Queens are ADULT performers who perform for ADULT audiences. Period. I especially have an issue with the mother of Desmond is Amazing. She lets her child spend time with (and take Ketamine with) an actual murderer who dismembered the body of his drug dealer after injecting him with Draino and other chemicals. Why did she allow this...? Because she was a fan of the movie Party Monster and was fascinated by the Club Kid craze from decades ago. There is an interview with Michael Alig (the murderer/former Club Kid) and Desmond is Amazing where Desmond is CLEARLY on drugs from when he was 10 or 11. The kid even "jokes" abt "taking Ketamine on the couch" and mimics doing a bump. Again...at age 10 or 11. It may still be on KZfaq, it used to be. I just don't understand what these parents are thinking. Is it because they think this makes them cool or open-minded? It's disgusting and I've got a real problem with it. I was able to stop a Drag Queen Story Hour from happening in my town. I looked into the Queens who were set to be in attendance. Combed thru their social media and found their criminal records online. The one DQ had numerous drug offenses and the other...well he had charges of furnishing drugs and alcohol to a minor and statutory grape. I brought this info to the Library and they canceled the event. It's been 4 years and they've never attempted to have another one. This is something that everyone can do. Many DQs have arrest records. We gotta be proactive abt this.

This is sick the downfall of humanity

I am glad you are here with us

I hope it's okay to say this. I've been cens0red quite a bit, and if not, I have someone coming along trying their best to be insufferable to the point they hope I just shut up and go away. I'm a nurse practitioner. I do volunteer work treating victims rescued from human trafficking busts. I have learned quite a bit in regards how children are "scouted" and targeted for pick up. The easiest is social media. It's a human shopping catalogue. Doesn't matter your privacy settings, your information and posted media is being bartered. So I'm insistent on educating parents to stop posting pictures of their children on SM. There's so much going on that people are clueless to. The only thing so far that's "safe" is peer to peer encryption, which means friends and family need to be on the same app or program with the encryption enabled. It's not going to be the same as FB, X, or IG. But you can share pics and media with friends and family. You don't need to court 100's of people for likes at the expense of you and your loved ones. The other thing, this, what Amir is showing. The children DQ, showcasing. I promise you they're being scouted. This is a very real thing. Children are being paraded and showcased. We really need people to put aside their need to virtue signal and stop romanticizing "stunning and brave" at these children's expense. Leave the kids out of identity politics. Period. I don't want to walk into my clinic, and see one of these babies being handed to me to treat because they were bought and passed around like a joint at Woodstock. Seeing things like this changes you and how you see the world, and this is not some "extreme" rarity. It happens too much, too often. Stop. Please.

I’m fine if a child wants to wear a dress but exploiting a child for money and placing them into the world of drag is disgusting. I love popular drag queens and I am a fan of the drag queens that are on RPDR but drag is def not for children! Keeping doing the great work you do Amir! :)

Parents making money off of their kids is disturbing.

Hey Amir, I’ve been watching your videos on and off for a bit. All I can say is keep on the quality work and stay true.

The funny thing about it too is that you rarely see a Black or Asian parent take their kids to this stuff

I think it's all about "normalization" they want kids to not see it as unusual so it's easier for them to be accepted. But it's a double edged sword, we don't want sexualization to be normalized with kids, keep kids innocent.

Oh my God 🤯 Some of those kids were so small. I'm in tears. So so young 😢 They were nervous, awkward, uncomfortable & unsure of what was really going on around them 😭 I just wanna scoop those kids up in my arms, bring them home, let them play with toys, ride bikes, go swimming, play sports, go rollerskating, watch cartoons, play make believe, build dens, draw. Let Kids Be Kids!!

Ok, that mother... is this like how Jazz Jennings supposedly went to her mother at 3 and said "When is the good fairy going to come and take away my p-word and give me a v-word?" Her child just happened to have a dress and come to his mother and tells her "I'm going to put on a show and you are going to video tape it and show everybody!" Does anyone believe either of these things happened? You know, without being prompted for who knows how long before they said it on their own to make their mothers happy? Anyone?

The first guy was so creepy towards that kid "Are you nervous?" "Yes." "How come? Do I look scary?" Yes you do!!

It's real obvious this little boy has been encouraged by his parents to do this. When you heap loads of praise and attention on a child for a certain behavior, than that child will repeat that behavior. It's really that simple. The parent's reward is the attention they get as a consequence.

What truly horrible parents there are, to allow children be involved in this in any way.

Little children should NEVER even know what drag is let alone doing it!!

Instead of drags coming in, they should have father figure story hour.

These kids need to be taken to a drama club or a performing arts school, not drag shows smh!

First of your videos I watched, one of the realest ones on YT I swear, keep it up!

The mere fact that this needs to be explained is crazy!

You're one of the chillest gay dudes. I'm afraid to talk to other guys about this kind of issue because so many are defensive of all these things because LGBT so it has to be accepted. THANK YOU for calling out drag for what it is. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's absolutely wrong to involve children in this. Also, really cool sponsor, I just use Reuters but I love being able to hear multiple sides. Keep doing chill work.

Them: “It’s all about teaching kids to read! Isn’t that important!? BIGOT!” Also them: “who wants to learn how to twerk?”

As a gay man that was a strong activist for our rights for many years, I’m embarrassed to see it lead to this. Now when people tell me they’re uncomfortable around me or other gay people; unfortunately I can see why. It’s just not right.

20 seconds in and I love your outlook ❤ subscribed!

Drag has always been, always been predominantly adult entertainment. Here in the UK, the only “drag” thing that involves kids is the tradition of Pantomimes, where a man always takes the role of “pantomime dame” - but it’s usually a slapstick, broad comedy role that has no sexual connotations whatsoever. What’s currently happening in schools - with VERY young kids - is alarming and sickening. You have to wonder about the mentality of a society that condones teaching little kids to twerk or strip…and you have to wonder about ANY parent that would want their child to be involved in it. I dunno…is it me or is the world getting sicker and more deranged? Coercion of minors - and effectively schooling them to talk about pronouns etc (something they’d NEVER do naturally at that age) - should be against the law in my humble opinion. Excellent video, Amir.

As a nonamerican this feels so extraterrestrial to me 🗿… like there’re no strippers reading books to children for some reason right? Right?…

Saying knowledge is power in this context is real creepy. Having the power to control what children learn.

I'm really glad I found this channel!

glad i found this channel. thank you Amir.

when i saw that literal TODDLER step onto that stage my heart completely sank... how can anyone defend this

Here is my take from a Russian immigrant in Texas 🕺 I came to Texas at age 10. I saw girls who wore makeup and curled hair with tank tops or dresses. I was extremely confused and then the beauty pageant went on I was in culture shock. I have done ballet since I was 2 years old and when I danced here it was girls in slutty outfits that adults should not wear. I moved to a ballet academy which is not dance competition it’s dance learning professional to make it to a level where you can do it professionally. All of the kids tv shows are inappropriate, games, clothes, tablets & phones … all of it is inappropriate.

This is sick and the parents are sick for introducing their babies to this. Thank you for speaking out.

Hi Amir! I appreciate you shedding light on this topic, it certainly has gotten so out of hand that it is difficult to believe it is true! On another note, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I doubt you will 'cause you're based af, I love seeing old school, normal gay guys expressing themselves. You're a guy I could totally hang out with, it's crazy that before all this progressive, queer nonsense I felt so at home with my gay friends and I enjoyed their company immensely. Now with this political bent that so called "queerness" has, I find myself at ideological odds with most of them and have found myself pulling away. I stopped going to LGBT events (that I would eagerly show up to before) because of this as well. All this to say, you're a cool guy Amir, smart, sassy, and with integrity, you're a joy to watch so keep at it! XO

How would people react if that was a 6 year old girl wanting to be a stripper / is.

Grown men teaching children how to twerk!? … I’m tired, Amir. ☹️

Could you discuss pageants and sports parents that push their kids to do these things as well as pushing them to be on TV? ☁️ ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

Thank Amir for your video presentation. It is sad what they are doing to the children. What is wrong with the parents?

This channel is underrated. We must get this message out there

"and he said 'I feel powerful'" yeah no, either that kid never said that or the dad feed him lines

New sub here! Thank you for speaking up to shed light on this! Sometimes it gets to feeling like we're all alone watching our babies getting thrown to the wolves. Like you said.. if feels very defeating! Leave the kids alone. It's what we've been saying for decades.

Hey amir I've recently found out about your channel few months when you did a Collaboration with another youtuber i forgot her named but i love what you do man speaking the truth i respect that uh lot man
