Dr. Jordan Peterson, a critic of gender-affirming surgery, is sick of the annual 'celebration of sexuality' that is foisted on people and branded as 'pride.'
This story is the first part in a series from a candid conversation Dr. Jordan Peterson had with Fox News Digital. Author and psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson is already 'done with' Pride Month. Pride Month, which occurs each June, honors lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people, along with anyone else who falls under the LGBTQ umbrella.
Peterson said people object to his point by noting that LGBTQ people simply want to affirm their own identity, and they don’t mean 'pride' the way it’s used when mentioned as a sin. 'Fair enough, I suppose, to some degree, but that was the name that was chosen, and that's the name that stuck,' Peterson said. 'There's a real tinge of narcissism, sexual narcissism, about the whole pride spectacle,' he continued.
a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy, said Monday that Pride 2024 kicked off 'with spectacular turnout and undeniable support' across America. The celebration, which has landed firmly in the American zeitgeist after recent controversies surrounding companies like Target and Bud Light, has support from many LGBTQ allies.
It was recently reported that Americans who support same-sex marriage dipped in the past year, according to a survey conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute. Peterson feels this will continue, and that extreme members of the LGBTQ community are going to ruin it for everybody else if they don’t tone it down. 'Keep pushing. Keep pushing. You're going to lose everything you've gained.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has expressed support of gender-affirming care, stating on its website that it recommends 'providing youth with access to comprehensive gender-affirming and developmentally appropriate health care.' Fox News Digital’s Ramiro Vargas and Melissa Rudy contributed to this report.
