Caitlyn Jenner – the sportsperson formerly known as Bruce Jenner – has been in Ireland. And in a speech about LGBT rights, she mentioned Israel’s stellar human rights record.
“In my community, in the trans community, the L, the G, the B and the T, the T portion is the most underfunded by far. I really judge a people and a country by the way they treat the LGBT community, I just have to say Ireland has done such a good job when it comes to these issues.
“There’s other countries around the world, in fact I’ll be in Israel, who have done a wonderful job in the face of civil rights, when what’s happening in the L, the G, the B or the T, they’ll hang you; it’s an amazing thing.”
Caitlyn is set to receive the Champion of Israel and LGBTQ Rights Award on March 8 in New York. Naturally, this has sent the haters into conniptions.
