LGBTQ disinformation ensnares US teen
Waving a rainbow flag, Desmond Napoles ambles through a confetti- soaked pride parade -- in stern defiance of a troubling disinformation campaign that sought to link American LGBTQ people to pedophilia.
Emerging from the darkest corners of the internet, an altered picture made it appear like a California pride parade participant had worn a shirt bearing Desmond's face alongside a disturbing slogan: "Trans kids are sexy." "They were using it to make LGBTQ people look like 'groomers,' and they were using my face," Napoles told AFP at a glittering New York pride event last month.
