4 Year Old & Rainbow Nails

Alicia Keys is a well known artist and a proud activist of the LGBTQ+ community. However most recently, she allowed her son to get rainbow nails at salon. He's only four but his perception of the world is very much alive. He told his mother that he wanted to take them off as soon as he got them because he knew he would be judged by others. This really bothered me because no four year old should have to concern themselves with the opinions of others. He should be allowed to act freely and carelessly because the world should not be looking down on him already. Alicia then went to rant on social media about her frustration as a mother knowing her son is already being judged by the public. The comment section quickly filled with hate comments and it just shows us that there has been no real progression in the age of acceptance. Take a look below, link to the video is attached.
