Dee Snider stands by stance on trans youth care despite being dropped by SF Pride.

Dee Snider, the frontman of Twisted Sister, has responded after being dropped from a main stage appearance at this year's SF Pride Celebration and his song, "We're Not Gonna Take It," was canceled as the festival's unofficial rallying cry. Snider was dropped after he voiced his support for a statement from fellow rocker, Paul Stanley of Kiss, that was widely panned for being anti-trans. In his response, Snider attempted to explain his viewpoint and described himself as a "proud moderate" and a heterosexual who proudly supports LBGTQIA+ rights.
