Crayola, the iconic maker of kids
crayons, has recently been accused of pushing a transgender agenda to small
children… and is now facing a potential boycott
as a result.
The company, whose target market is children
ages 2-10, recently shared images of a transgender model on its social
media accounts. Crayola promoted Julian Gavino, A.K.A. “The Disabled Hippie,”
on the crayon company's Facebook and Instagram pages to
celebrate "Disability Pride Month."
The arts supply maker waxed woke
in its posts, stating: “Julian Gavino (he/him) is a fashion model, writer, and
activist who identifies as a transgender man. He was born with a progressive
neurological condition. Julian is passionate about advocating for his
respective communities. As someone who grew up not seeing anyone who looked
like him in the media, Julian is determined to normalize disabled and trans
bodies in the fashion world.”
It added that Gavino “stresses the importance of
universal design — clothing everyone can wear. He has worked with brands such
as Tommy Hilfiger, Mac Cosmetics, and was Abercrombie’s first
disabled/transgender model. Julian says he truly believes you can connect to
your soul and others through creativity.”
In addition,
Crayola posted three images of Gavino, including one where he is wearing a
leopard-print jumpsuit-- and another with him clad in a lime green jacket,
latex pants, high-heeled boots…and chain-link bra.
I suspect
Crayola will also soon announce the introduction of several new crayon colors
in support of the ever-burgeoning LGBTQ community. Look for “Lesbian Lick”
(pinkish-red), “Backdoor Brown,” and “Trans Lucent” (anything you want it to
be) to be available by the beginning of September as kids go back to school.
Color me
repulsed.
