This Mam wrote a gorgeous Facebook status defending her little boy's love of nail polish
Devon Berryann / Facebook Devon Berryann / Facebook / Facebook
LAST WEEK, DEVON Berryann posted a Facebook status about her six-year-old son who, among other things, happens to enjoy wearing nail polish.
“My six year old son likes to wear nail polish,” she wrote. “He likes to wear girls’ clothes and tutus. He tells me about the boys he likes at school. He says he will marry them and adopt babies.”
But one day her son arrived home from school and told her that he had been teased by classmates for wearing nail polish. Berryann stated that, for the first time, she considered getting him to take it off and “hiding that part of himself”.
Why? Because following the Orlando shooting, she was “scared that he would be gunned down one night when he was out having a good time with his friends”.
But then she reconsidered and recounted the reasons why she allows her son to express himself.

And instead of bowing to the bullies, she came up with a much better solution: she bought him nail polish and let him wear a tutu.
The message of tolerance and acceptance has clearly resonated with many as it has racked up over 20,000 shares on Facebook since it was posted.
Berryann told ABC News that she was heartened by the outpouring of support.
Wonderful.
