In this monologue, Dennis Prager condemns a Yale‑affiliated psychiatrist’s public recommendation that LGBTQ+ individuals whose family members voted for Donald Trump should sever ties and avoid holiday gatherings. Prager argues that such advice reflects a left‑wing political bias among mental‑health professionals, suggesting that therapists who share this perspective can cause further harm to families already strained by ideological differences. He frames the situation as a clash between conservative parents and left‑leaning children, warning that the psychiatrist’s stance would exacerbate family conflict rather than resolve it.

Chapters

A Yale-affiliated psychiatrist encouraged LGBTQ+ people whose family members voted for Donald Trump to cut ties and shut their relatives over the upcoming holidays. That is why families who are in trouble because the parents are conservative and the kids are leftists— they're not in trouble if the kids are liberal. If the kids are leftists and the parents are conservative, that family may well have problems, and then they will seek therapy, but the therapist is probably a left-wing fool. And so the therapist will do more damage, just like this Yale psychiatrist will do more damage to the family. Yeah, you— if your family members— if you're LGBTQ+ and your family members voted for Donald Trump, you should cut ties and shun your relatives over the upcoming holidays.
