College students boo Caitlyn Jenner for Republican views, white privilege
Some University of Pennsylvania students were not happy when transgender icon Caitlyn (née Bruce) Jenner defended her political views at Penn’s LGBTQ week, known as QPenn, the Daily Pennsylvanian reports:
Many controversial points were brought up throughout the night, including the question of why Jenner isn’t an “ardent Democrat,” to which Jenner responded, “I have gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans.” …
Jenner went on to express her conservative views and said that the national debt and other economic issues take precedence over certain LGBTQ issues — a statement which stirred up quite a bit of controversy, especially for some students within the LGBTQ community.
“The fact that she equated two completely different issues, invalidating one by doing so, is a problem in itself,” College freshman Kenneth Lac said.
Another student said that if the Republican Party is “not going to support who [Jenner] is, I don’t see why she should support them.”
