ABC’s Good Morning America celebrated an 11-year-old drag queen as a trailblazer this month, although many viewers pushed back and said the show had crossed the line in sexualizing children.

Host Michael Strahan introduced a video of Desmond Napoles — also known as “Desmond Is Amazing” — by saying the child was “inspiring to many” and was “trailblazing” a path for other children. Strahan also called it an “amazing story.” 

Moments later, after the video, the boy strutted down a runway toward the Good Morning America set, wearing a blonde wig and a yellow and white dress. 

In the video, Napoles said his mom doesn’t let him drink caffeine but that she is proud of his drag queen sidelife.

“I love to put on makeup, dresses and wigs and of course jewelry,” he said. “I feel very happy to have a mom that accepts me.”

His mom, Wendylou Napoles, then said, “It really touches me deeply that there are other children out there that he’s reaching and they’re listening to him and he’s influencing them to be themselves.”

Napoles performs throughout New York City as a drag queen. He wore women’s clothes and marched at a gay pride event at age 8.  

“I love doing drag because it makes me feel amazing and self-expressive,” he told Good Morning America. “My one big message would be … be yourself…

In what she is calling a “new order,” award-winning singer Celine Dion has launched a gender-neutral clothing line collaboration.

The “My Heart Will Go On” singer has partnered with clothing company NUNUNU to create a clothing line called CELINUNUNU for babies and young kids which according to the website, “liberates children from the traditional roles of boy/girl and enables younger people to grow on values of equality with the freedom to strengthen their own power of personality based on mutual respect.”

The website goes on to say, “People, and for that matter—little humans, express themselves through clothes. We would like to enable them to be who they are, so that their choices are driven by their own true essence and free spirit, beyond stereotypes or any norm.”

In an ad that was released last week, Dion is seen standing in a hospital nursery surrounded by babies in pink and blue onesies. 

She says, “Our children, they are not really our children, as we are all just links in a never-ending chain that is life.”

She continues, “For us, they are everything, but in reality, we are only a fraction of their universe.”

“We miss the past. They dream of tomorrow. We may thrust them forward into the future, but the course will always be theirs to choose,” she continued.

The singer then pulls out a box of black glitter and…

The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs is being sued after demanding that a Christian organization permit “atheists or other non-Christians to lead their Bible studies” in order to be recognized on campus. 

While the school officials declined to comment on the situation, the Alliance Defending Freedom stated that: “The university refused to grant Ratio Christi registered status because it only allows those who share and personally hold beliefs consistent with the group’s mission to serve as its leaders.” 

“As a Christian apologetics organization, Ratio Christi seeks to defend the Christian faith and explain how the Bible applies to various current cultural, ethical, and political issues. Any student can attend its events. Any student of any faith can become a member of Ratio Christi, as long as he supports the group’s purpose. But Ratio Christi requires that those who lead the Christian organization must share its religious beliefs. As a result, the university has denied it registered status, limiting its access to funding, meeting and event space, and administrative support,” said the legal team.

The lawsuit disputes the school’s belief that it can refuse registered status to groups if they choose leaders that agree with the group’s religious outlooks.

Additionally, it notes other biased actions by the school against the…

HYDERABAD, India, November 19, 2018 (Morning Star News) – Villagers hostile toward Christians in northern India falsely accused a pastor of an illicit relationship with a woman and, in another village, burned a church building, sources said.

As people throughout the country on Nov. 7 prepared to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, neighbors alerted pastor Satpal Masih that his Pentecostal church building in Giddi village, Gurdaspur District in Punjab state, was ablaze.

The pastor dismissed the notion that the church building caught fire from a festival accident, saying Diwali begins well after 8 p.m., and he rushed to the burning building at 6 p.m.

“Moreover, the church is built on a farm, and it is nearly impossible that anybody would go onto a farm to play with fireworks,” Pastor Masih told Morning Star News. “After looking into all possibilities, we understand that it is an act done by some elements who oppose the ministry in the area. Police came to the spot and filed a First Information Report [FIR] after conducting a preliminary investigation. They clearly said that it can’t be an accident.”

He said the fire seemed to have been set on Diwali to look like a fireworks accident, but that there was no evidence of any such explosives and no loud noises until plastic chairs and equipment inside caught fire.

“In fact, it was a massive fire, and…

A woman who lost all of her limbs due to a severe infection says her faith in God helped her choose to live her life with joy.

Kayleigh Ferguson-Walker, of Coral Springs, Fla., lost both arms and legs after she became ill with Sepsis in early 2017. She was six months pregnant with her second child when she became sick. Doctors were not able to save the baby, and she was taken to a hospital for surgery.

“Her family was at the bedside,” said Dr. James Fletcher, Kayleigh’s doctor. “They had left the previous hospital and come to our hospital with some hope we might be able to restore circulation, but in this situation, there was just nothing additionally that could be done.”

Kayleigh has undergone some 13 surgeries. Today, Kayleigh uses a prosthetic and is adapting to her new lifestyle.

“I try to look at the side ‘let’s see what I can do,'” she said. “I challenge myself a lot what I can do rather than just sit here and be like okay I can’t do nothing, ain’t got no limbs. No, I can’t think that way.

“Many people come to me and my family and say ‘how does she keep that smile through everything she’s going through. She just lost her limbs; how does she keep her smile?’ And I always say to them I don’t smile because I have no bad days. I smile because I’m still here.”

Kayleigh and her husband, Ramon are members of Praise Tabernacle International. Their…

Author and pastor Francis Chan revealed on Wednesday that after praying for his best friend for 30 years, he has decided to dedicate his life to Christ. 

In a blog post on Desiringgod.org, Chan shared with readers how he saw prayer working in his life when his best friend from college decided to get baptized after years of refusing to believe in Christ. 

He wrote, “We all walk in complete spiritual darkness unless God decides to shine his light on us. In some mysterious way, God shines light in a person’s heart so that he instantly sees the beauty of the Gospel. No amount of human effort can produce this. Salvation is a miracle of God,” he said of his friend’s salvation.

He continued, “Many of us would say that we believe this theological truth, but our actions betray us, revealing just how much we trust in people, speeches, and events. On more than one occasion, people have begged me to speak to their lost friends, believing that my words would make the difference.”

“Too often, I have granted their wish (rather than correcting their theology), and tried desperately to come up with the perfect words to talk their friends into falling in love with Jesus. Do you see yet how ridiculous this is?” He questioned.

Chan went on to encourage people to pray. He said, “For now, I’m more than content to obey and pray. Though I’m still uncertain how it…
