Jordan Peterson, the Canadian psychologist who became famous for questioning a Canadian law demanding strict adherence to gender pronouns, recently made his thoughts on the so-called Pride Month quite clear. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Peterson made known that he is not a fan of the month dedicated to aberrant sexual behavior.
Each June, society must endure “Pride Month,” in which the abnormal is celebrated with parades, festivals, and celebrations with the focus being LGBT people and their unique issues. According to Peterson, much of the month-long celebration is based upon falsehood.
“You should be very careful what you name things, and ‘pride’ is not a virtue,” Peterson said. “Pretty much all of it’s a lie, and it’s a dangerous lie, and it’s a lie with real monsters hovering on the edges.”
“Pride is a cardinal sin, and there’s a reason for that,” the psychologist noted. “Pride means something like stubborn refusal to change when evidence of error is accruing, and it’s not a good thing.”
Peterson, who hosts a podcast on DailyWire+, has been forced to undergo social-media training in order to maintain his license to practice psychology in Canada because of certain opinions he holds. Peterson has referred to the training as “reeducation.”
“A higher court in Canada has ruled that the Ontario College of Psychologists indeed has the right to sentence me to re-education camp,” Peterson posted on X in January. “It’s capitulate to the petty bureaucrats and the addle-pated woke mob or lose my professional license.”
It hasn’t stopped Peterson from stating his opinions on the LGBT community and Pride Month in particular. He thinks the phenomenon stems from narcissism.
“There’s a real tinge of narcissism, sexual narcissism, about the whole pride spectacle,” Peterson said. “Do people have the right to express their sexuality the way they see fit? To some degree, if it’s consensual and among adults, but generally among human beings with any degree of civilized comportment whatsoever, it’s a pretty damn private affair.”
Is one’s sexual preference really something to base one’s identity on? Peterson doesn’t think so.
“It’s also the case that identity based on something as narrow as sexual desire, let’s say, aren’t identities at all. They’re pronouncements of subjection to instinctual whim,” the psychologist told Fox News.
Even the pervasive LGBT flag was not spared Peterson’s wrath.
“I’m just done with it. I don’t like the flag. I think it’s a piece of idiocy,” Peterson opined.
In fact, he questioned whether the LGBT community is truly a “community” at all. Transgenderism particularly aggravated the psychologist.
“It’s not a community, and it’s 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,” Peterson said.
“So the transgender affirming butchers and liars are differentially destroying the youthful gay community,” he concluded. “And that’s not a community by any stretch of the imagination.”
“The pride movement has torn down a lot of fences, and maybe some of those fences needed to go. But all of them didn’t need to go, and there’s plenty of monsters coming out to play now,” the psychologist said. “That’s why we’re seeing this butchery in the medical community, abetted by idiot allies and driven by greed. And those aren’t the worst monsters that exist. And so, if you tear down enough fences, you’re going to find out what they’re for.”
Peterson had a warning for the LGBT community: “Keep pushing. Keep pushing. You’re going to lose everything you’ve gained. And I’m not celebrating that at all.”
Peterson has a point about the LGBT agenda reaching a point of saturation in society. When an Idaho tavern proclaims June to be “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” as a counter to all the “Pride” propaganda we see in June, perhaps it’s time to scale back the month-long celebration.
