When Bruce Jenner transitioned into Caitlyn Jenner, many praised the former Olympian for revealing her truth. But the same audience that applauded her bravery quickly criticized Caitlyn’s stance on marriage equality.
On an episode of Ellen last week, Caitlyn Jenner said she does not support gay marriage.
Her surprising stance caused many critics to speak out. How could a transgender individual beg for acceptance but not accept gay marriage?
Even Ellen was confused about Caitlyn Jenner and her shocking traditional values.
But after the brunt of heavy backlash, Jenner is changing her tune.
She wrote on her blog, "After hearing from my gay friends and learning more about the hardships they faced because of discrimination, it became clear to me that everyone should be able to marry the person they love.”
On Ellen’s show, Caitlyn claimed she is a traditionalist (because traditionalists are usually transgender). However, it seems that Jenner is pushing her traditional views aside amid the harsh criticism.
Hopefully the backlash against Jenner sincerely impacted her decision. It wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that anyone from the Kardashian-Jenner klan would simply say what the public wants to hear.
