Dear Mercury readers:
Guess what? YOU are an essential part of what we do. Simply put, without recurring monthly contributions from readers like you, it's impossible to provide the high quality journalism that protects the marginalized and holds the powerful accountable. We've all seen what happens to communities when reporting disappears and falsehoods take root. So if you believe our mission is important and necessary, please consider a small monthly contribution to the Mercury, and we'll keep working hard for you and those who need it most!
Thanks, we appreciate you!
Please wait...

As a follower of Sparkle's Mom on Instagram, and a mother of a 10 year old (possibly) straight girl that loves watching drag, and loves looking at Sparkles posts, I've always appreciated how age-appropriate Sparkle's drag style is. She is beautiful, and fun to watch her enjoyment of her craft. I hope Instagram comes around and reinstates the account. It's a shame. Regarding the hate speech and threats toward a 10 year old - I have no words.
"presented himself as gender non-conforming since birth,"...Really? Exactly how does a "gender non-conforming" infant "present"? I understand how a mom with an agenda "presents", through ridiculous wish based statements like the above, But an infant? Not so much.
