Paul Stanley Reverses Course on Controversial Statement

KISS Singer and Guitarist Supports Those Struggling with Sexual Identity

KISS co-founder and iconic rock n’ roll musician, Paul Stanley, has reversed course on a controversial statement he made earlier this week regarding transgender ideology and children. In a statement posted to Twitter, Stanley clarified his position, stating that while his thoughts were clear, his words were not. He went on to express his support for those struggling with their sexual identity and enduring constant hostility, as well as those who choose to undergo reassignment surgery.

Stanley’s original statement, in which he called normalizing gender reassignment surgery on children a “sad and dangerous fad,” sparked a wide range of responses online. While he acknowledged the difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children, he also expressed concern about parents allowing their children to participate in this new social contagion.

Teaching Acceptance vs. Normalizing Participation

Stanley’s tweet garnered millions of views within hours of posting, sparking both praise and backlash from users across the spectrum. While some applauded his stance, others pointed out the irony of an American musician who has performed songs about sexualizing underage girls weighing in on this topic.
