Caitlyn Jenner, George Takei, and the Hypocrisy of the Gay Rights Movement
I'm not sure I agree with you in regards to George Takei, there are so many reason's that he could have responded the way he did. Maybe he was surprised by the negative feedback and was just trying to be as diplomatic as he could. Maybe he isn't a confrontational kind of person. I don't know the guy from jack…I know who he is and what he's done as an actor and that he happens to be gay. I might be wrong on this one, I just think that unless you really talk to someone you don't know how they feel about a subject. How often do the jerks who post on this site take the time to understand what you feel about a subject? Don't misunderstand, we all know what jerks I'm referring to. 😉
In one sense I DO understand what you are saying.
That said, have we really become so hung up on small stuff, so hardened in the arteries that we can't even have fun with the ONE holiday that adults have so far been able to still have fun with?
If it is the case, then what is our future in a world without humor? If we can't all laugh at OURSELVES what can we laugh at?
Remember also, that when she was still Bruce Jenner, he often cam across as conceited and arrogant!!
I guess the biggest issue for me with her not whole-heartedly supporting gay marriage is that it risks her identity. She's been married to three different women. Yes, she appeared to be very masculine at the time, but she has said herself that she's always been a woman. By taking any stance about hesitation to gay marriage she's either invalidating her identity or the legitimacy of her own marriages.
That's my problem with it, she's making her own identity seem questionable by calling her past marriages entirely heterosexual.
Like I said in previous post on your channel and others. She is not a voice for our community. The media with her misinformation spouting will continue to use her as such. That is truly where the problem is for our community. She will improve in time possibly but we are not her training ground for coming to speed.
I agree with you 100%.
George Takei can't have an opinion? LOL. Like everyone has to support everything you believe in? What about George? Maybe he has decades more experience than you and you should have some respect for the fact that he DOES allow others to express their opinion. Maybe that's an important lesson YOU haven't learned yet. You get more flies with honey than vinegar. "That kind of commenting shouldn't be allowed"… wow. I'm glad you actually got down to the subject of your video instead of being overly politically correct and not really getting into your actual opinions on stuff like you usually do.
I lost all respect for that b list star trek actor after the black face comment he made.
yeah she is starting to suck hard, bottom line.
thank y Danielle
All those problems with the LGB "community" comes from the very fact that transgenderism and transsexuality have NOTHING to do with sexual orientation, I've always been against the addition of trans people to the LGB movements, it confuses people and there's clearly a misunderstanding of what is to be trans. Caitlin Jenner is very much not representative of the majority of trans people, she's got it easy making money out her transition (Kardashian complex and business on nothingness) I would prefer the media to show Jazz or any trans kids (I was one) and teen agers who went thru hell literally everyday to get to be themselves.
Its just a costume, in other words NOT REAL, costume…like fake jewelry?
Believe me I am far from a caitlyn supporter, but that person is entitled to their view, cause, its America and we have the 1st amendment?
If you want to be a life long trans … be one! Its clear caitlyn is now thinking it would be nice to be treated like a "normal woman" and was immediately slammed for it.
Let people TRULY be who they are and like other trans (but not all) and clearly feminists, stop ramming your agenda down others throats.
You certainly wont get "acceptance" (if thats what you truly want instead of melding into society as an average female) by bullying your way there and not being tolerant of differing views as you as others to be!
You have a good sense to telling that
You're so cute. I must admit Caitlyn comes over more as a CD than a TS , but I understand she's had SRS, that's committment, so all power to her.As for her being a spokesperson, yeah for white middle class girls with a lot of money, her reality is very distant from that of a lot in the community.In fact, this may be her major problem, she's jumoed from middle class cd male to middle class female without going throug those intermediate steps that define most transwomen.
KJ seems to have some values schizophrenia.
That having been said, I think her path has been very painful.
Takei is a bit of a fuckwit too.
The gay community has been terrible to us.
I don't like KJ's politics and I do not think she speaks for me at all.
Maybe the 'T' in LGBT needs to be split off from the others?
