(LifeSiteNews) — Woke DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) reached its zenith in New York City Monday night as the first black gown-wearing, gender-confused male with quadriplegic cerebral palsy made his debut at the MET Gala.
Aaron “Aariana” Rose Philip was quickly hailed as the history-making “first Black transgender woman with quadriplegic cerebral palsy to be signed to a major modeling agency” as he arrived at the strange, posh event.
According to some online commentators, Philip “checked every box” when it comes to the Democratic Party’s matrix of victim groups.

Catholic commentator Michael Knowles sarcastically quipped, “It took a quarter of a millennium, but at long last the first black, transgender, physically disabled model signed to a major agency has attended the Met Gala. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

Philip was featured in Dove’s “United We Stand” campaign in support of the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and to “celebrate” inroads by the “LGBTQIA+ community,” according to his Modeling Agency biography.
