We have a new official candidate for the Democratic 2020 Presidental nomination. The former\xa0Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary from 2014 - 2017 under Obama and the former\xa0mayor of San Antonio, Texas,\xa0Juli\xe1n Castro. A 10-year-old Canadian boy Nemis Quinn M\xe9lan\xe7on-Golden was featured\xa0in a Huck Magazine piece about the life of a so-called "child drag queen."\xa0Young Nemis\xa0was shot by photographer Jonathan Frederick Turton for the spread.\xa0In one of the shots that did not make the magazine, Nemis, in full drag makeup and a black dress, is posing for a photo with the Season 7 winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race," Violet Chachki. In the shocking photo, Violet is wearing nothing but a pair of heels and a small piece of fabric covering his genitals. While the photo didn't get into the magazine\xa0it was shared on Instagram. Ron Edwards will join me for our regular Sunday Afternoon Conversation.\xa0Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows.
