It would be fantastic to reach out to her. -Caryn Ann On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 4:30 PM Starchild <sfdreamer@earthlink.net> wrote:
I'm not in the habit of paying much attention to celebrities, so it's possible that Caitlyn Jenner has a track record suggesting she's *not* a likely supporter of libertarianism, but an article I happened to read on the transgender reality show star and former Olympic athlete's recent appearance at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco sounded promising as far as it went. In the interests of keeping us up to speed on possible libertarian allies in Hollywood, the media, and so on, here are the relevant excerpts from the piece in the May 11-17 issue of the Bay Area Reporter (page 8):
*"When asked about her politics, Jenner pointed out that [her new] book has 'less than a page and a half' devoted to that subject. *
*Acknowledging that she is a 'conservative', Jenner explained that her loyalties are not with 'Trump and the Republicans' but that she does believe in 'the Constitution... lower taxes... and less regulation.'*
*'My loyalties are with my community,' said Jenner, who said that she is going to focus on trying to convince the Republican Party to support equality for the trans community. 'I want Republicans to get to know transgender people.'*
*...*
*Overall, said [Commonwealth Club interviewer and lesbian former superior court judge Doris] Cordell, 'I found Caitlyn to be friendly, approachable, and willing to tackle all of the questions that I asked of her, none of which were given to her in advance. I certainly disagreed with her answers on political subjects – being a Republican, spending time talking to Trump, and her apparent opposition to gun control.'"*
