If you did something wrong, you raped a woman, yeah, you gotta do more than apologize, but at the same time, that’s not something you stand strong about.“But if you have a position and a belief and people come at you for it, everybody is folding!” Last month, Snider agreed with Kiss’ Paul Stanley’s stance on youths undergoing sex reassignment surgery.“There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it,” Stanley tweeted.“There ARE individuals who as adults may decide reassignment is their needed choice but turning this into a game or parents normalizing it as some sort of natural alternative or believing that because a little boy likes to play dress up in his sister’s clothes or a girl in her brother’s, we should lead them steps further down a path that’s far from the innocence of what they are doing,” Stanley added.Snider, ordinarily a staunch supporter of left-wing politics, commented, “well said.” Like Stanley and Kiss, he and Twisted Sister were almost as well-known for their makeup, hair and outlandish costumes as for their music back in their prime. “You know what?
