Paul Stanley, the co-founder of the rock band, KISS, made an unprovoked statement about what he called a “dangerous trend” of teaching kids about gender identity and sexuality at a young age – an LGBTQ topic that has turned into a culture war.

On Sunday he took to Twitter and issued a lengthy statement about the same that quickly went viral on social media. He wrote, “There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identity as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it. There ARE individuals who as adults may decide reassignment is their needed choice but turning this into a game or parents normalize it as some sort of natural alternative or believing that because a little boy likes to play dress up in his sister’s clothes or a girl in her brother’s, we should lead them steps further down a path that’s far from the innocence of what they are doing.”

He further added: “With many children who have no real sense of sexuality or sexual experiences caught up in the ‘fun’ of using pronouns and saying what they identify as, some adults mistakenly confuse teaching acceptance with normalizing and encouraging a situation that has been a struggle for those truly affected and have turned it into a sad and dangerous fad.”
