SF Pride Drops Dee Snider Performance Over Controversial Tweet.
TL;DR
Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" has been dropped as the unofficial anthem of SF Pride Parade & Celebration after lead singer Dee Snider tweeted his support for a statement from Kiss front man Paul Stanley that's been widely panned as transphobic. SF Pride and Snider have mutually agreed to part ways, but appreciate it as a teachable moment and a reminder that even allies need to be educated to ensure that they are not casually promoting transphobia.
