Controversy In February 2026, Aragon drew public criticism for his anti-LGBTQ statements. He further received backlash after questioning celebrity parents who publicly support and accept their LGBTQIA+ children. During an interview, he cited several celebrities and argued that accepting a child's LGBTQIA+ identity was inconsistent with his interpretation of Christian teachings. Following Aragon's remarks about parents of LGBTQIA+ children, Tal Brosas, the daughter of actress-comedian K Brosas, criticized his comments on social media, questioning his authority to judge other parents.
Amid the negative feedback, Aragon received public support from Christian pastor Nixon Ng, who said that Aragon's views reflected the beliefs of many Christians. Ng also urged the public to respond with grace, adding that new Christians can sometimes be overly zealous in expressing their faith.

A few weeks later, Aragon revealed that he had experienced sexual abuse during childhood. He also said that he had previous sexual relationships with men before converting to Christianity.
