Exactly. It's which direction you go with it. trotsky Aug 2015 #82

I fail to see how this one reported hearsay exchange means diddly. And you have her name wrong. Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #5

It's not hearsay when it's on video. Deadshot Aug 2015 #7

Her show is "I am Cait" and her last name is Jenner. pnwmom Aug 2015 #10

Apologies, not hearsay. On video. The leap to judgment, though, about her motives is questionable, is all I would say Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #11

Jenner, a self-described Republican... GReedDiamond Aug 2015 #12

Exactly. If suffering for decades for fear of coming out hasn't taught her anything pnwmom Aug 2015 #13

Her fear of coming out was fear of herself, not of outside things and her conservatism was part of Bluenorthwest Aug 2015 #16

Interesting that you can't keep your virulent anti-Catholic bigotry out of any post on any topic. pnwmom Aug 2015 #20

The Catholic church is a homophobic, misogynistic institution. It is AGAINST equality. Arugula Latte Aug 2015 #28

The Catholic Church is made up of hundreds of millions of INDIVIDUALS with different points of view. pnwmom Aug 2015 #30

Can't the same be said about the Republican party? Arugula Latte Aug 2015 #31

The Republican party USED to be a big tent, like the Church, with liberals and conservatives. pnwmom Aug 2015 #33

The official policy of the Catholic Church is still BIGOTED under Francis & he backs this shit. Arugula Latte Aug 2015 #37

I typed that late at night. I meant Bluenorthwest, but you knew that. Arugula Latte Aug 2015 #57

all of those different views are based on one creature from mythology though snooper2 Aug 2015 #62

You, who support those who attack LGBT are saying a T is not an 'ally'. YOU should be the ally to Bluenorthwest Aug 2015 #47

She's not really being an ally except for those in the 1%. They are trying to tell her that they pnwmom Aug 2015 #59

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that particular and dramatic inconsistency. LanternWaste Aug 2015 #68

no, I meant early days as being a woman steve2470 Aug 2015 #14

This makes no sense to me GReedDiamond Aug 2015 #36

ok, I'll refine what I mean steve2470 Aug 2015 #38

maybe sexual orientation has nothing to do with political affiliation snooper2 Aug 2015 #63
