San Francisco Pride Drops Dee Snider Over Controversial Tweet About Trans Kids

San Francisco Pride has ended its partnership with Dee Snider after the Twisted Sister vocalist expressed support for Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley's transphobic tweet. The organization and Snider have mutually agreed to part ways, but San Francisco Pride appreciates Snider seeing this as a teachable moment. The tweet perpetuated doubt about young trans people's ability to self-identify their gender, and transgender people, particularly transgender women and children of color, are disproportionately affected by hate and violence. San Francisco Pride wants to call allies in, not call them out, and reminds them to be educated to ensure they are not promoting transphobia.
