As lesbians, gays, and some of their supporters disagree with the transgender movement, where do "Prides" loyalties lie? In this article, they quote from the transgender perspective, but not someone who disagrees.


So, Martina Navratilova, who was publicly a lesbian, at a time when before it was accepted, would no longer be welcome?

embattled LGBTQ community.

That's rich. They're the most pandered-to and promoted group of people in the world. In the hierarchy of the special interests, they are on the top.

This was written by a reporter? It reads like a press release from a pro-tranny organization. There was nothing transphobic about Paul Stanley’s tweet. It was just common sense. The only people with any phobias about this are the trannies - they have a great fear of the truth and reality, not to mention biology.

For those that remember, Snider posted a cease-and-desist order against the Trump campaign back in 2016 for them not to use “We’re Not Gonna Take It” at his campaign rallies.

Stupid liberal.

“Unfortunately, Snider’s good intentions were subverted by what he was trying to get people to defeat: transphobia.”

Or perhaps what he said has nothing at all to do with nonsense made-up “transphobia”. He just isn’t a fan of perverts messing with kids, no matter how tolerant he is of that particular variety of pervert.

Well, I, for one, respect Dee Snider for joining Frank Zappa in taking on Al and Tipper Gore.

He could have dressed a little better.

People self identify however they want. A black, gay, female, poor, naturalized citizen, college alum, middle-aged architect can choose to identify with any or even all of those characterizations. Which one is most important?

I think these aging cisgender white male rockers have a point though about acceptance of what adults choose vs phases that adolescents and teens go through. Everyone who is or was a teen found themselves in some or another awkward crises. As time goes on those issues work themselves out. What’s the rush in forcing kids to choose a sexual identity so early in their life? When you think about it kids really only have extemely narrow experiences in life: What happens at home (which they often go through a rebellion phase), what happens in school (which often finds them put in a position of peer pressure, repression, and feeling mocked), and what they see on TV and their phones (which is often highly sexualized and violent). They have no perspective on life itself outside of those three main situations. Their minds have not fully matured and they do not have enough information (or too much information?) or experience to process information. It can be overwhelming and push some kids to drugs (either prescribed by doctors, or drugs/alcohol of abuse) to escape it - if only ever so briefly. Those tools never resolve the issues. And the people they turn to (so often not their parents but teachers, counselors and doctors) are now being coerced into affirming whatever narrowly decided whim the kid is going through rather than give them perspective and room and time to grow into themselves.

Given time, they’ll figure it out and they should be given the leeway to learn a few things about themselves and their lives before being pigeonholed by interest groups or faddish sociopolitical trends. Let them learn on their own without adding more pressure on them.

All, ever single one, of these people are sick. They’re given up to reprobate mind, those who are seriously mentally I’ll and those who approve of them.

Corrected:
