Dr. Jordan B. Peterson expressed this week that he is already done with Pride Month, the LGBT celebrations that started when June began on Saturday.
The clinical psychologist and Daily Wire+ host shared his perspective with Fox News, saying Pride Month involves a dangerous lie with real monsters hovering on the edges.
Im just done with it. I dont like the flag. I think its a piece of idiocy. I dont understand why it changes every bloody week. I dont know who makes those decisions, Peterson said. I dont like the acronym and all the mystery surrounding it. I dont like the fact that the LGBT agenda, whatever that is, increasingly dominates the school system. I dont like the fact that its targeted at young people.
Peterson said he also has a problem with the idea of the LGBT community, especially in light of gender ideology and its influence on children.
Because its not a community, and its especially not a community right now, because the trans-pushing, gender-affirming butchers and liars primarily target young people whose most likely outcome on the sexual front is homosexuality, he said.
So the transgender-affirming butchers and liars are differentially destroying the youthful gay community, Peterson added. And thats not a community by any stretch of the imagination.
In recent years, a wave of seemingly gender dysphoric children in both the U.S. and Europe have been approved for drugs and surgeries to make them appear as the opposite sex. Some European countries and U.S. states have since pumped the brakes on these treatments.

Peterson added that he thinks transgender surgery is Nazi, Auschwitz level awful and such surgeries on children should not only stop, but the surgeons who performed them should be imprisoned.
Peterson also cited author G.K Chesterton, who offered a rule of thumb that you should not destroy a fence before knowing why it was put up in other words, people should not destroy an institution or tradition before understanding why it is in place.
The pride movement has torn down a lot of fences, and maybe some of those fences needed to go. But all of them didnt need to go, and theres plenty of monsters coming out to play now, Peterson said.
Thats why were seeing this butchery in the medical community, abetted by idiot allies and driven by greed. And those arent the worst monsters that exist. And so, if you tear down enough fences, youre going to find out what theyre for, Peterson said.
Keep pushing. Keep pushing. Youre going to lose everything youve gained. And Im not celebrating that at all, Peterson said.
Peterson also criticized Pride Months name.
You should be very careful what you name things, and pride is not a virtue, Peterson.
Pride is a cardinal sin, and theres a reason for that, he continued. Pride means something like stubborn refusal to change when evidence of error is accruing, and its not a good thing.
Peterson noted that some LGBT supporters may argue that they do not really mean pride, they are just trying to affirm their identities.
Fair enough, I suppose, to some degree, but that was the name that was chosen, and thats the name that stuck, Peterson said.
Theres a real tinge of narcissism, sexual narcissism, about the whole pride spectacle, he said. Do people have the right to express their sexuality the way they see fit? To some degree, if its consensual and among adults, but generally among human beings with any degree of civilized comportment whatsoever, its a pretty damn private affair.
Its also the case that identities based on something as narrow as sexual desire, lets say, arent identities at all. Theyre pronouncements of subjection to instinctual whim, Peterson said.
