Is alice cooper gay
I had the best of intentions.
I intended to emphasize purely on a quartet of aging rock stars, and their anti-trans statements, made all the odder by the gender-transgressive history of many of them.
You see, KISS co-founding command guitarist Paul Stanley, decided last May to contribute his deep thoughts on gender identity. Little did he know he would be the first to bring transphobia to the 1970s rocker set.
At the time, he likened minors struggling with their gender identity as merely “playing dress up” and that it would all command to a “sad and dangerous fad.” Stanley later walked back his utterance, claiming his words weren’t clear, and that he “support[s] those struggling with their sexual identity.”
Dee Snider, the frontman of Twisted Sister lept in, adding, “You know what? There was a time where I ‘felt pretty’ too. Glad my parents didn’t jump to any rash conclusions!” As a fallout of this, San Francisco Pride disinvited him, and changed plans to theme this year’s Pride event after Twisted Sister’s biggest hit, “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
Snider, too, has backtracked, sort of, in a statement saying,
Alice Cooper Is Worried Being Trans Is a ‘Fad,’ Spews Debunked Bathroom Predator Myths
Alice Cooper, who built a career partly out of defying and toying with gender expectations, said he’s terrified that being gender diverse “is a fad” in a fresh interview with Stereogum, where he also leaned on right-wing, anti-trans scare tactics about “woke” tradition and bathrooms.
During the chat, Cooper was asked about his thoughts on gender and sexuality in light of the controversial comments made by some of his peers on the issue, including Kiss’ Paul Stanley and Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider. While the interviewer even noted Cooper gave some cute progressive quotes about bisexuality and pansexuality in 1974, Cooper’s answers this day around were decisively more conservative.
“I’m understanding that there are cases of transgender, but I’m afraid that it’s also a fad, and I’m terrified there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that,” he said. “I find it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no idea. He just wants to play, and you’re c
Alice Cooper Understands There Are Cases of Transgender, But Feels ‘It’s Also a Fad’
Alice Cooper is the latest creator to weigh in on sexual persona, responding to a question about fellow musical peers Paul Stanley and Dee Snider previous comments on gender affirming care for kids. Within his retort , he states, "I'm understanding that there are cases of transgender, but I'm afraid that it's also a fad."
Speaking with Stereogum, he continues, "I’m nervous there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that. I discover it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no plan. He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, 'Yeah, you’re a young man, but you could be a teen if you desire to be.'"
"I reflect that’s so confusing to a kid. It’s even confusing to a teenager. You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, 'Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.' I mean, if you identify as a tree… And I’m going, 'Come on! Wh
Alice Cooper Believes Gender-Affirming Care Is a ‘Fad’
Legendary shock-rocker Alice Cooper has voiced his concerns regarding gender-affirming care, opining that it may have become a “fad.”
“I’m understanding that there are cases of transgender, but I’m frightened that it’s also a fad, and I’m afraid there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that,” Cooper explained to Stereogum. “I detect it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no idea. He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, ‘Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be.’”
As Cooper sees it, concepts of being trans or non-binary are too weighty for young people to handle.
“I think that’s so confusing to a kid. It’s even confusing to a teenager,” the rocker noted. “You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, ‘Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.’ I mean, if you identify as a tree&#x
