Paul Stanley (Twitter)
Legendary Kiss frontman, singer and rhythm guitarist Paul Stanley is in a lot of hot water right now over comments that he made criticizing the parents of Trans youth who support their children’s taking of medications and hormones to begin the transition process. As a rock star, Paul Stanley is obviously well suited to be dolling out wisdom on the issue.
His comments came as the 1970s phenom band Kiss is on a nostalgia tour. The band performed in front of 30,000 fans in Buenos Ares the other day.
Paul Stanley tweeted on Sunday, “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 identification as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it.”

Going on to dismiss the entire transsexual issues as a “fad,” Paul Stanley said that there “ARE individuals who as adults may decide reassignment is their needed choice but turning this into a game or parents normalizing 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.”
Paul Stanley added that with many children, who he said have “no real sense of sexuality or sexual experiences” are merely caught up in what he called “the fun” of using pronouns and saying what they identify. But, Stanley feels, 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.”
Paul Stanley, 71, was born in Manhattan to Jewish parents. His mother was born in Germany and her family managed to escape Europe just before the Holocaust began.
