Magazine Hillary Edits Rejoices Over Exploitation of 9-Year-Old
The topic of gay rights and sexuality in society is a controversial issue, but even people who lean left tend to agree that sexualizing children is very wrong.
After all, there is a libertarian “live and let live” argument to be made for adults who choose an alternative lifestyle, but pushing a sexual social agenda onto minors is a completely different topic.
That seems to be exactly what “Teen Vogue” is now doing, however. The magazine where Hillary Clinton sometimes serves as a guest editor is taking serious flak for a questionable piece showing off a young boy and his gay-inspired drag queen pastimes.
At the center of the controversy is a boy named Nemis Quinn Mélançon Golden, better known by his drag queen name “Queen Lactatia.”
Remember, this is a nine-year-old boy.
“When he was seven, this pint-size boy — who had a habit of wearing his sister’s tutus and princess costumes when he was two — officially transformed into a queen called Lactatia,” the teen magazine gushed. “Now he’s a miniature fixture on the Montreal drag scene.”
“Drag, the subversive art of deconstructing gender through over-the-top aesthetics and performances, has become Nemis’s main source of empowerment and pride,” Teen Vogue continued.
What Vogue calls “deconstructing gender” is actually almost exclusively a gay/transgender pastime. While there may be a handful of straight men who perform in drag shows, there’s no denying that the drag scene is closely linked to the gay and transgender lifestyles — which is no doubt what the magazine meant when talking about Nemis’ “pride.”
That raises an important question: why is a magazine celebrating and encouraging the sexualization, gay or otherwise, of a nine-year-old child?
What does being a “fixture on the Montreal drag scene” mean, if not being paraded in front of adults in gay nightclubs where those shows usually take place?
It gets worse. Breitbart News reported that the child is now also “modeling” for an online store that sells adult erotic clothing for the gay scene.
“House of Mann, an erotic gay BDSM clothing store, has been accused of sexualizing children after they used a nine-year-old boy dressed as a drag queen to model for them,” that news source stated.
The very first image shown on the House of Mann’s online store is an adult man reaching suggestively into his skin-tight boxer briefs with his hand, while wearing nothing else. Does nobody see a sickening problem here?
One look at the photos included in Teen Vogue’s piece make it clear that this isn’t just a kid playing dress-up, but a minor obviously channeling sex-fueled adult drag shows… with a stage name that has other adult connotations.

“‘Lactatia’? As in ‘lactating’? Why is a child being publicly paraded with a nickname related to breastfeeding?” asked Sarah Rumpf, a journalist at Red State. “Why is a child being publicly paraded like this at all?”
It’s an extremely good question, and that reporter raises a series of very important points. This seems to be part of a larger agenda, and even people who approve of gay rights — as Sarah Rumpf does — should be concerned by this trend.
“Adults being free to explore the relationships their hearts desire isn’t enough; they celebrate a child adopting a nickname that evokes breastfeeding, encourage him to wear adult makeup and clothes, and pose giving the camera a come-hither stare,” Rumpf wrote.
“There are many of us on the right who rolled our eyes when social conservatives warned that gay marriage would be a slippery slope, and soon liberals would be advocating for pedophilia and beastiality and mercy knows what else,” admitted the Red State journalist.
“It would be really great if the activist left would stop working so hard to prove their critics right,” she continued.
She’s right on target. More and more, it seems clear that there is an entire hyper-sexualized to-do list being pushed onto America, and it goes far beyond the tame talking points.
A teen magazine that has already pushed adult sexual topics, including sodomy, is now treating underage boys in dresses and makeup as the latest craze. What could possibly go wrong?
America had better start paying attention, because the end of this “slippery slope” may lead to a very dark place.
