An open request to Bruce Jenner

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Since you are probably the most if not one of the most famous transgendered persons in the world who is a self proclaimed Republican and suggested to Dianne Sawyer that you could influence Senate Majority leader, Mitch McConnell, and Speaker Of The House, John Boehner to advance the rights of our gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning brothers and sisters I request you ask them to allow a vote on legislation which would add the aforementioned groups to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. I assure you the Democratic votes will be there.


Thank you in advance.

1. Bruce is all about Bruce.

He could care less.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I am willing to give Bruce the benefit of the doubt.

At the least he should request an audience with those two gentlemen.

[FarPoint]

3. I'm not holding my breathe...

Secondly, the pair wouldn't give Bruce oxygen from the same room.

6. Bruce is worth about $100 million.

Yes they would.

[FarPoint]

22. Well...you make a good point there now......

[jalan48]

8. Gentlemen?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. LOL

Criminals are even referred to as gentlemen at times.

4. Sadly, I think anyone who would marry a Kardashian is all about the publicity, not about helping

anybody else. They all strike me as amazingly self-absorbed.

5. He is a Republican???

I had no idea. I remembered him only vaguely, and my shock was learning he was the head of that useless Kardashian clan.

[jalan48]

7. He is.

[Zorra]

11. She.

12. Bruce asked to still be referred to as "he" in his interviews

That's why I just try to say Bruce instead of a pronoun because Bruce leaves it ambiguous but I am not comfortable calling Bruce he or she in this environment.

[Zorra]

20. Thanks, I didn't know that. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. You're welcome... I just want Bruce to be happy.

Like everything in life although not a panacea money eases everything in a capitalistic nation and Bruce has an abundance of it.

[SusanCalvin]

17. Sorry.

As I said, my shock wasn't the transgender part, so I wasn't even thinking about that. I didn't watch the interview either, so I *really* wasn't thinking about that. I hear (or read) "Kardashian," and I just go yuck, yuck, yuck!!!!!!!

I'm happy s/he's speaking out for the good it will do other people, but based on the tiny bit I know about her/him, I don't think I like her/him on the whole. Not that it matters to anybody but me.

Looks like good will come of this, so that's good. But for my part I change the channel. Like now - oh yuck, there's another Kardashian.....

[Zorra]

19. My bad, apparently Bruce prefers to be addressed pronoun "he", and by other male

forms of address as well.

I didn't see the interview, and didn't know that he was a republican. He's wealthy, so he never has to worry about being refused housing or employment because he is transgender, and many of the other forms of discriminatory viciousness that non-wealthy transgender people have to face in the real world.

One month on the streets living full time as a real live broke working class transgender woman, and he would be crying and begging people to vote for Bernie or Hillary.

[SusanCalvin]

21. No problem, you would have been correct if not for his preference of pronouns.

And you're sure right about the money.

[Scarsdale]

13. He is not

He ALWAYS comes in second (or third) AFTER Kris. He certainly left the raising of his two young daughters up to her, they are turning into younger versions of the odious Kim. When is the trial for the death if the lady he caused in the car accident? Is he too rich to prosecute? Me, me me seems to be his primary concern.

[SusanCalvin]

18. See, you know *way* more about them than I do

All I know is what I can't help seeing before I lunge for the remote.

[Zorra]

10. It's transgender, never transgendered.

14. Bruce Jenner blames fatal accident on driver that he killed.

Bruce Jenner told officials there was no way he could have avoided the fatal crash he was involved in last weekend, blaming the collision on the Lexus driver who he said slammed on her brakes without warning, according to TMZ.

15. You should never hit the car in front of you unless it swerved in front of you

You should never hit the car in front of you unless it swerved in front of you because if you did you were following too closely... Whenever I hit the brakes I look in my rear view mirror for just that reason.

16. A good idea, but I agree with everyone else in that IMO Bruce only cares about Bruce

And whomever said "that useless Kardashian clan" nailed it, they're all about making the most money possible while doing absolutely nothing useful. For far too long they've promoted the idea that it's cool to be stupid. They're a pox on our young people.

23. Somehow I seriously doubt he posts here. You should write him

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. He used to live about five miles away from me in Calabasas with the Kardashian clan.

I could have visited him...But now he's in Malibu, too many bus transfers...

[Autumn]

27. That's way too much trouble to get a republican to think

much less change their mind. I guess the wealth must be what allows people in that situation to believe in a party that literally despises them.

[ann---]

26. Don't think he'll

get involved - I think he's a republican. He's in it for the fame
and money, in my view.

I think he needs serious help. Hope he's getting it.
