| “ | Alan Cumming on circumcision From my point of view as a sexual and sensual person, the idea that you would hack away at that and lose sensitivity and nerve endings on the most pleasurable and sensitive part of your body is terrible. It all builds into my idea of America being shameful about sex and so puritanical. – Alan Cumming[5] |
In a long 2020 interview at The Guardian, Cumming confirmed his opposition to circumcision:
| “ | I never thought about my foreskin until I came to America As well as campaigning for LGBTQ+ equality and [[ ]] charities, Cumming is outspoken against male circumcision.
It’s genital mutilation. And I think people say:As for the religious grounds for circumcision, he believes these are “ridiculous”:Oh, that’s hysterical.But we do it to girls and it’s called genital mutilation. We choose to keep doing some things and we just let the weirdest things go. – Alan Cumming (The Guardian)[6] |
Various media echoed his important statement.[7][8][9][10]
Award for intactivism
