He becomes the latest shock rocker to share his distaste for gender-affirming care after Dee Snider and Paul Stanley shared similar views.

    I still don’t understand why the trans thing has suddenly become a “problem.”

    Because noone cares about homosexuality anymore(it has been mostly normalized), so they need a new target to scream about.

      They’re literally on record saying they needed something big to rally behind after killing Roe because they were going to get murdered on abortion and needed a distraction. They whipped this up right quick alongside busting out “groomer” as their top slur right as Matty Fivehead was getting taken to court for diddling a sex-trafficked 17 year old. Gaslight. Obstruct. Project.

        theyve been on this bullcrap since at least 2016 with all the bathroom crap. we shouldnt be demonizing people over this yet here we are where a massive chunk of the population does just that. when i was a kid it was “what if gae in lockerroom?” bullcrap. im sure at this point in my life ive been in a locker room with a gay person and theyve never been a problem. and if they are its that person who is the issue not the entire lgbtq+ community.

          Yeah it’s always been one of the talking points but it was around Roe when it became the new big boogeyman to focus on and start spinning more lies about (trans being groomers, etc)

      It’s this. Attacking gay people is no longer acceptable to enough people that conservatives can get away with it as a culture war tact. They’ve moved onto trans people which is more successful because there’s a lot fewer trans people. We’re seeing a LOT of bullshit getting flipped around and making people mad about things they didn’t use to care about. The drag-hate is a good example. Tons of examples from history where drag is supported and now it’s a major battleground? Bullshit. Just another way to find a convenient target for the right to hate.

        gay and poor black people fight back, they want to target a vulnerable minority group that hasn’t been able to fight back yet. as soon as gay and poor black people stop fighting back, they’ll be back on the menu.
