We’ve asked online comedian, voice actor and chest hair model Sam Kalidi to create a new meme each week for Queerty readers. This week he ponders the consequences of Caitlyn Jenner’s announcement that she plans to vote Republican in 2016, following a denied request to attend the recent Democratic debate in Des Moines, Iowa. Sam looks forward to all your hate mail. You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and at your local glory hole.

Now that gay marriage is legal, the Democrats have moved on to the poor poor Muslims which are even greater on the victim scale

If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants meat products banned.
If a Republican is gay, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is gay, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand those they don’t like be shut down.
If a Republican is an atheist, he quietly chooses not to go to church.
A Democrat atheist wants any mention of religion silenced, while at the same time treating atheism itself as a protected religion.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he shops for it, or chooses a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will flag it and post a nasty comment, because he’s offended.

@Alexander R. Rodriguez: I concur 100%. Whenever we get ANY administration in power for 8 years (or 12 in some cases), we swing far to far in their direction. When the Republicans are in power for too long, as they had been before Obama, we had nothing but the “Party of ‘No'”, and far too much influence by the Southern Baptist Convention hate group (et. al.), then we need the Democrats to take care of domestic/social issues that the Republicans either ignored, or fought against, such as DADT & equal marriage. Then, when we have Democrats in power for 8 years, we swing far to far to the left, much to the detriment of our foreign policy, military policy, national security, and we become the laughing stock of the world. I have to hold my nose when I vote for ANY of them, Dem or Repub, as NONE of them represent my views to the letter, and that’s the same with everyone. This next election, I will hold my nose, and vote for the candidate who will restore our political/military standing in the world, kick the ass of ISIS, protect our borders, keep out & kick out terrorists, and in general look after our National Security. Without our national security in place, all of the domestic/social issues which are otherwise very important, become meaningless, when we have a gun barrel pointed at our heads.

As a transgender person myself, I find basically everything about her repulsive. Her fairy tale transition is so disproportionate to what the rest of us go through, and to say the problems she has are first world in nature is a massive understatement. She claims to want to help the trans* community, but she spends all her money on stupid petty Malibu dream house bullshit instead of donating to charities, and on top of that she votes republican, meaning she is supporting, among other things, anti-transgender bills across the nation. The fact that she is seen by some as some kind of spokesperson for the trans* community disgusts me on a level most people couldn’t possibly comprehend. She certainly doesn’t speak for me or most trans* people I know.
Billy Budd
I feel that she is kind of insane and conflicted. She defines herself as a lesbian woman, meaning she still loves women. It is very confusing.

HE has one foot in the transgender community and one foot out whenever it suits his gain to go back to his wealthy, cis, white male privilege. He SHAMELESSLY makes a mockery of what is a harsh, difficult and isolating reality for those that don’t have the CHOICE to play ping pong with their identities. Being trans is 24/7! Aside from his transgender HOAX, he is no different from the Republicans this site detests. He is AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE! The LGBT SHEEP just give him a pass and treat him as a victim because he’s decided to tuck his little noodle dick and ACT like he cares about the trans community. You are all being USED.

It creates a wonderful opportunity for a public dialogue about why Republicans are not typically supportive of LGBT people, as well as an opportunity for Jenner to raise issues of importance to LGBT communities with the Republicans she supports.

It’s difficult to picture her voting Republican five years from now, but we’ll see.

Like the Log Cabin Republicans, I do not understand how any LGBT can support the conservative right. It is not logical. It makes no sense. Caitlyn Jenner clearly has her own agenda. Unfortunately, she is going to be disappointed because the support will not be given to her by any Republicans. But it is her American right to vote the way she wants. I will still support her and her right to be herself.

dean089
To me THIS was the ‘big reveal’ of the Diane Sawyer interview. We all pretty much new about the transition thing, but coming out as a conservative Republican — and those were the specific words used, conservative Republican — what the WTF? moment. Then she went on Ellen and was vague about supporting gay marriage. Because she was a famous celebrity everyone was so quick to declare her a ‘hero’ and all sorts of other accolades, but Caitlyn has done NOTHING to go beyond supporting Caitlyn’s interests.
Alistair Wiseman
What have the current crop of 2016 Republican presidential candidates said about Caitlyn Jenner?
For the few that have mentioned Caitlyn Jenner thus far…
Lindsey Graham: “I haven’t walked in [Jenner’s] shoes. I don’t have all the answers to the mysteries of life. I can only imagine the torment that Bruce Jenner went through. I hope he – I hope she has found peace…If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be a Republican, she is welcome in my party.”
George E. Pataki: (exppressed his support via Twitter) “If someone chooses a path that’s different than mine, we should respect it as opposed to mocking.”
Rick Santorum: “You know, if says he’s a woman, then he’s a woman. Look, this is an issue – my responsibility as a human being is to love and accept everybody. Not to criticize people for who they are. I can criticize, and I do, for what people do, for their behavior. But as far as for who they are, you have to respect everybody.”
Of course, none of these words were ever reported on Queerty, as it would not fit their agenda nor narrative.
Perhaps Caitlyn Jenner is a Republican because she wants to be able to disagree with Democrats without being slandered.
SeeingAll
@dean089: “Because she was a famous celebrity everyone was so quick to declare her a ‘hero’ and all sorts of other accolades, but Caitlyn has done NOTHING to go beyond supporting Caitlyn’s interests.” That’s why it seems permissable now (on reading the posts here) to call her everything from a he-she to an Uncle Tom in drag, and every other trans-bashing term instead of…..being overly polite like you’re supposed to be with all the transterminology.
balddude13
If you are a gay man and questions Caitlyn’s politics and opinions, be prepared to be burnt alive at the stake especially if you post on FB. Holy Shit, you’d think I was Satan himself. And I was speaking out for the LGBT community. Big mistake. I was accused by some young gay men (who struggled with their grammar} as being homophobic and by some Lesbians and Trans women as being anti-woman. One went as far as saying all gay men are bigots. One woman who identified as Trans said that Trans people should secede from the LGBT community. All this because I wondered why Caitlyn struggled with supporting gay marriage? Guess what…if a trans person marries a same sex partner, that is Gay marriage people! Is Caitlyn protected by the superficial Hollywood LGBT community? Of course I give kudos to Ellen who had the courage to ask Caitlyn on her show why she had difficulty acknowledging same sex marriage. Caitlyn squirmed in her panties trying to answer a fair question. I don’t think Ellen is a close friend of Caitlyn’s any longer. I support the Trans community however I don’t think Caitlyn is a good role model for the Trans community. She is superficial. I have seen some of her reality segments and to me she appears clueless.
dean089 I totally agree with you!

Rest assured this ol’ whore was what it was before it thought it wasn’t only to discover that it was and still is what it thought all along it was. In other words, “it” voted republican all along. Jenner was not raised in poverty. His family background and upbringing was more Father Knows Best/Leaver it to Beaver-ish than Al and Peggy Bundy. He was expected to do as he did; marry a Mary Ellen Rodgers, have a few kids, and be grateful that he is an American. All was going well until he figured out how much he was losing by not cashing in on the Kardashian fame. I bet that whore has trashed many a hotel room in anger at now HAVING to wear those damn clothes that he knows in his heart he despises, as well as that lipstick.
This man is shitting all over the gay community and many are beginning to realize it.

Jenner is not a gay rights activist in the true sense of activism. I think he’s a male lesbian fetishist who dresses as a woman to recreate fantasies of lesbian encounters where he is involved in the fantasy. That’s my opinion, anyway.
When are people going to realize that men who fetishize over lesbianism are generally NOT on the side of male homosexual rights?

Another reason to drop the T – which never belonged with LGB in the first place. LGB is normal, T is a medical condition. Ms Jenner has obviously been addressing the physiological side of her body dysmorphia, but clearly has some mental issues if she thinks voting repub is a good idea for people in her situation.

Once again you believe no one has seen that tired and overused “manifesto” before and that you’ve delivered another of your stunning indictments off Homosexuality that will make us sh*t our pants. We didn’t, we had another good laugh at you instead.
I imagine you’ve forgotten people like Kevin Swanson who advocate the execution of homosexuals if we don’t repent. Standing with him are Mike huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Ted “Rafael” Cruz and his father the terrorist Rafael Cruz.
The D-List misses little Alistair their queen.

Oops, almost forgot: Progressives are slandering Jenner? Let’s see what happens when she tries to enter a women’s bathroom in a red state.

@Michael1500: It IS our business when Jenner publicizes his positions. Absolutely IS our business.

Does she really think Republicans are going to support her? I’m here in Houston and I can tell you that the recent prop. 1 that failed was because the Republicans who rule this city hate the idea that trans people even exist. I heard so much hate speech about trans people from Republicans. It’s a shame that Jenner is turning her back on the people who have supported her. Screw her.

@scotshot:
(Since you did not respond to my post after answering your questions, I thought I would re-post it for you. Since you are bringing up the same unfounded jibberish, it is relevant.)
Well, my post was addressed to dwes09, but I’ll address your post.
Since I know none of these pastors, I took your suggestion and googled the first pastor, Robby Gallantry. There is no such person, did you mean Robby Gallaty? You can’t even spell his name correctly.
It seems Pastor Robby, as they call him, made a sermon on homosexuality last year called, “God’s Standard for Sexuality”. (Oh boy, that doesn’t sound good.) The link below is from a gay and lesbian website that has the full 50 minute sermon and their analysis of all the “hatefulness”.
As I watched the sermon that had made your Google search, within 3 minutes of his sermon he stated if you are gay or know someone that is gay, “We welcome you here to Brainerd Baptist Church. You are welcome here anytime. In fact, we are glad you are here.” The horrors!!!
What proceeded was a sermon that was thoughtful, compassionate, direct and well-documented. I did not agree with everything the pastor said, but this was no fire and brimstone flamethrower. (In fact, he is very good looking. Like a sexy high school football coach.)
A couple of highlights from this pastor that is “calling for the death and execution of homosexuals” by stoning no less.
“…let’s remove the sarcastic vocabulary we have, let’s get rid of the intolerant attitudes we have, let’s change the words we use! Stop bashing gays! Stop telling jokes about gay people! Remove the word “queer” and “fag” from your vocabulary! I think we need more repentance in the body of Christ and less rhetoric.”
And:
The pastor states, ”The sin of homosexuality may be wrong, but your sin is just as bad. Your sin is just as bad. My sin is just as bad.”
Obviously, your G O O G L E search was a huge fail. Maybe you should take your own advice and actually read what these pastors say before you post this nonsense. As for Bobby Jindal and Ted Cruz, they are not pastors, nor have they ever been. There are 4 other pastors that you listed that I have not looked into, and apparently by your failed post, neither have you.
No one is denying the homophobia, even hatred, that comes from the pulpit. But to state, erroneously, that the stoning of homosexuals is increasing and to not even validate your claim is shameful and irresponsible.
Also, if you can, please explain to me how “we have more to fear from Christian terrorists in America than radical Muslims.”
You do realize that September 11th was not executed by a bunch of crazed Presbyterians who had a bad brunch.

Caitlyn Jenner is a huge attention W-hore just like the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner Klan. He was a vapid old bore as a man and he is a vapid old bore as a woman. Honestly, who cares what party he votes for? – certainly the Republicans aren’t interested in his support any more.

@Alistair Wiseman:
Sorry, I made a typo. Thank you for so graciously pointing that out. (Please don’t kill me!)
Pastor Robby Galaxy: “God gives us the punishment for engaging in these sins…They must be put to death. And their blood is on their own hands”. This quote is from a Huff Post article from 2014 among many others.
Here’s what you can do: Go to the G O O G LE and enter: Robby Gallaty Pastor anti gay. By doing this very simple task you will very quickly be transported to a listing of many articles on this subject. You will also find others using the G O O G L E.
It appears that with judicious editing you can say anything you want, much like Breitbart, WND. The Blaze & many others.
Regarding Pastor Kevin Swanson who advocates executing gays, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, and Rafael “Ted” Cruz and his father Rafael Cruz, all attended Swanson’s conference and are aware of his stance. By their silence they give tacit agreement.
I am aware who the perpetrators were. Every year in America close to 2000 people are victims of hate crimes, black churches are being burnt down with alarming regularity, clinics are firebombed, etc. people in movie theaters and children at school are murdered in cold blood. This is called domestic terrorism. You are free to call it whatever you wish, it won’t change a thing.
Once again you prove you cannot be trusted. Another GOTPer who doesn’t know what the truth is.

Bruce Jenner wanted to become Caitlyn Jenner; Bruce is Transsexual, his body didn’t match his brains understanding of who he/she is. He had a fine body, if I may say; two Golds in the Olympics on the decathlon, the toughest category in the Summer Olympics. He must have been conflicted beyond words with all of the training and the competition in that event; I don’t know how he did it, but I’m glad he did. Back to the topic, being transsexual has nothing to do with being gay. Bruce wasn’t attracted to men (not gay); his issue was his mind said he is a female, but his body wasn’t made that way. This is a perfect situation do demonstrate that LGBT should by G & L; the gay communities issues are not the issues of transsexuals nor are the issues of the transsexuals have much of anything to do with lesbian and gay issues. The gay community should have it’s own issues and organizations to politically advocate on our behalf; likewise, transsexuals need their own group advocating for their issues. That way, we don’t have internal conflicts that are arise because we find ourselves at cross purposes. Example: Congressman Barney Frank had been putting together a federal bill that would have prohibited discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation. He got it to the floor and out of the clear blue sky he got shot down, by all of the gay groups because it didn’t include transsexuals, notwithstanding the two issues had nothing to little to do with each other. Mr. Frank had been blindsided by the very people he was trying to help. We should have passed that bill, supported Barney and then tried to amend the bill to include transsexuals. We were dumb and short sighted. We lost in Houston recently mostly due to transsexuals being on the ballot and included in the gay group. Again, we lose something we should of won until the tea party got going on who could go into what bathroom; obviously, that has nothing to do with the gay issue. We can’t keep putting more letter after the ‘LGB’ and expect to be as successful; I see recently LGBTQQ, that is totally unworkable. Just dumb, frankly. the term ‘queer’ is already covered by ‘LGBT’ and ‘questioning’ is not an issue that can go anywhere with voters, nor should it. Questioning is not a rational group to add to our already too big of a group.Make up your mind if you are gay or not, and then join the LGB’ group.question and experiment privately and then join in with the LGB’ group if you are gay or lesbian. Queer is offensive to the majority of people for respectable reasons and questioning is just a lousy joke that will bring us well-deserved criticism from the rational world. Get real. Thing have to be presented in such a manner that it’s possible, even probable, that you can carry the vote at the ballot box. The issue about including transgenders with gays have going on for a long time and it is true that we have some issues that are similar to each other in the discrimination issues. I think some of our attorneys were trans people. Sometimes, there is synergy and when there is, we should go for it if it helps both groups. But Caitlyn did all her trans conversion work and now she is just another woman walking around, trying to live her life free of hassles because she it trans. Gays, on the other hand, are always going to be men in their minds and men in their body, but we are only romantically attracted to the same sex persons, gay doesn’t hide all that well.

Prediction: She’ll be invited to speak at the Republican convention, but they won’t let her use the women’s restroom. Then she will wake up and become a Democrat!

An idiotic decision bc republicans way of thinking are the reason she spent her whole life hiding who she was.- but at the same time why is everyone so hard on her about it? She just stepped into being her true self after hiding for decades and we all know that the most closeted individuals are the ones hiding in the right wing trying to cover up. -she’s on a path to undo years of self torture and doubt, and politics and can be ingrained pretty deep. In time she’ll come to the right side – and by that I mean the left 🙂

I only hope she stays rich. The minute she has see how unprivilege trans people have to live poor thing will off herself.

@scotshot:
Who is Pastor Robby Galaxy?
Again I looked it up. No such person. Did you mean, Robby Gallaty? Really? Twice now. You do not pay attention to the simplest of details.
So I did as you requested, googled ‘Robby Gallaty Pastor anti gay’. I got the same articles that I found for my last post to you.
Let me ask you something. Did you even read the Huffington Post article that you cite in your post? Do you know what Leviticus is? I know you did not watch the full 50 minute sermon that I posted for you (I did) nor did you read the link in my post, but either you did not read your own Huffington Post article or have failed reading comprehension. The pastor was citing a verse from Leviticus from the Bible! This was not something he made up, nor something he said off the top of his head. In 2015, how DARE a Christian pastor read a verse from the Bible!
Pastor Robby said several things I don’t agree with and would love the opportunity to discuss them with him. But to construe his sermon as for the execution of gays is an outright lie. At one point in his sermon he states, “You have to understand, the sin of homosexuality violates God’s plan, I get that…but it’s not the worst sin in the Bible, and it’s not the only sin the Bible. [Then he directly faces his congregation and says] If not for the grace of God, where would you be?” Do you think the pastor wants all of his congregation executed? He is directly calling their attention to the hypocrisy of judging fellow sinners.
At another point in the sermon he admits while writing his sermon, “I had to stop typing and take a walk, I had to go upstairs…I said Candy this is just heavy stuff. When I’m studying this I’m just mindful of my own depravity, I’m mindful of my own sin. And if not for the grace of God where would I be today, right?”
Having watched the sermon (which you clearly haven’t done), it is very clear Pastor Robby does not suggest Christians should start killing gays, but citing Leviticus in his sermon forms a familiar narrative in many churches that God can save gays and heal them. He never states, nor implies, that gays and lesbians are detestable abominations who must be murdered.
You want to take the word of articles denouncing him as some gay-hating, wannabe killer, they are absurd, ridiculous, irresponsible and are written out of contest. (Helpful tip: Next time, go to the original source.)
You stated, “It appears that with judicious editing you can say anything you want…)
Hilarious! How ironic coming from someone who did not watch the video of the actual sermon, but relied on the “judicious editing” from liberal writers!
You stated, “Once again you prove you can’t be trusted.”
Yes, instead of actually watching what the pastor said, you double-down on your own ignorance and rely on the words of others.
“You prove you can’t be trusted.” Indeed.
(Also, I’m still waiting on your explanation for writing, “We have more to fear from Christian terrorists in America than radical Muslims.”)
(And, your accusation that Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Ted Cruz and his father “the terrorist” Rafael Cruz are advocating for the “execution of homosexuals.” Quotes please. And not from Huffington Post writers.)
