As Caitlyn Jenner readies herself for a potential run for California governor in a recall election this year, word has emerged that she’s already encountered some opposition close to home: her sons Brody, Brandon and Burt.
TMZ reports that all three of her sons advised her against running as they don’t feel she’s qualified. The night before she announced her plans to the public, Caitlyn apparently called each of her sons, all of whom said she should rethink the entire enterprise.

The news comes amid reports that former stepdaughters Kylie and Kim Kardashian have also declined to campaign for Caitlyn in the potential election. Kim is apparently quite staunch in her position, as she and Caitlyn have clashed over issues around prison reform, and because she’s in the midst of a divorce from estranged husband Kanye West.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The report also follows confirmation from former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that he discussed a potential run with Caitlyn Jenner, and advised her to make her bid official.
The announcement that Jenner plans to challenge current Gov. Gavin Newsom in a potential recall has already met with wide backlash. Actors Billy Porter and Jen Richards, as well as queer writer David Badash have all criticized Jenner’s decision to run. Jenner will also likely face difficult questions regarding her support for the anti-queer policies of Donald Trump, and her involvement in a deadly car accident in 2015.

This lady is going to get trashed – she went from Olympic champion to figure of fun.

I’d be more than willing to spend $25 in baseball throws at a carnival to dunk her in pig slop.

This once great former Olympian does the Transgender community a disservice by running for political office in her highly inexperienced size 15 stilettos.

The weird delusions of wealthy people who have been famous for a while are amazing.
No qualifications, no history of doing anything that would show any qualifications, supported politicians who hate LGBTQ people and tried to say they weren’t like that, then grudgingly admitting later they were.
Nothing she has done in her entire life has shown there is anything there that would make her qualified.
But the arrogance won’t allow her to start with something like a city council seat to prove herself. Nope, she thinks she can be governor.
Donston
At this point Caitlyn just needs to sit down somewhere.

Caitlyn Jenner is a reality TV, attention-whore like another pathetic Republican we know. We should all take a lesson from historical disasters….

Publicity stunt methinks.

She really doesn’t know the structure of California politics. I was reading an article yesterday about why she’s running. She was blaming Newsome for the decisions that ELECTED District Attorneys were making in the state. She’s a BAD reality star (just like Trump) who has no business being in politics.
winemaker
newsom has no being in politics. This idiot destroyed San Francisco when he was mayor and now is hell bent on turning California into the USA’s version of the third world. Sadly, he’s achieved his goals in many places. Take a look at San Francisco, Los Angeles and just about all the large cities and your nose and eyes will tell you the truth.
DefiantOne
@winemaker “Third world” is what conservatives have done to dirt poor red states that rely on California’s tax dollars to stay afloat.
Republican states are welfare queens, relying on tax dollars from rich blue states like California, Illinois, and New York. Red states and rural areas are high poverty, meth and heroin addicted, high obesity, low infant mortality, terrible hospitals, dying factories, fleeing youth, and low ranking schools.
California: world’s 5th largest economy by itself, #1 state for natural beauty, best weather, #1 in technology, #1 college system, #1 entertainment, #1 real estate wealth and demand, #1 agriculture. And the lowest COVID rates in the continental US. #ThankYouNewsom #StandWithGavin
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
Even though she won’t win because the clowns in California will probably keep “do as i tell you too not as i do”newsom in office. God knows they’ve kept mad max and nutty nancy in office way past their expiration date so no reason to think they’d wisely get rid of him.

show us on the doll where Nancy hurt you

@TheAbsoluteTRUTH and @winemaker
Now sweetie, what have I told you, when you switch screenames and post similar comments right after each other it just makes it even MORE glaringly obvious that you’re the same old right wing troll.
As for Newsome. Hmmm, let’s see, Ca is running massive budget surpluses, and Newsome has supported LGBTQ rights for ages.
Of COURSE you’ve wasted 3 comments attacking him. Your job here is to attack LGBTQ people and allies and to defend and support bigots.
Your troll game is still old and tired.
DefiantOne
Sensible moderates need to the leave the Republican Party. It’s been taken over by unhinged conservative mob of lying, anti-American whackjobs like Drama Queen Donnie, Moscow Mitch, and Qaren Taylor-Greene.
These new Rethuglikkklans are neocommunist traitors who oppose American democracy and who think radical right government bureaucrats should control every aspect of life. The GQP have nothing to offer but fear, hate, conspiracy theories, cancel culture hypocrisy, and whining about wokeness. That’s why conservatives can’t win in California, the state with the lowest COVID rates in the continental US thanks to Democratic leadership.

Piss off you puss-oozing troll.

I ask my friends, all native Californian’s some gay others straight just what has newsom done to improve things. the answer, ZIPPO. Time to get rid of gavin ‘giveaway the store for free and just about everything else ‘ newsom. This clown has done nothing to improve California. if you call , the increasing costs of living along with a housing crisis in which people can’t afford a place to live, yeah he’s done tha all while tallowing homelessness to explode and fester, crime to go through the roof and a whole bunch of other things, yeah he’s done something, make California more and more unlivable and expensive.
dwick
cool story
Cam
Funny thing that. Housing prices go up when people want to live in a place. That would be why blue states have higher housing prices than red states overall.
DefiantOne
Housing prices are high in California because demand is high, because people want to live here. I remember when Republicans supported free markets, before they went full nanny state neocommunist.
Newsom is going to win because his tough choices have led California to the lowest COVID rates in the continental US. Florida’s rates are now *5 times* as high. Rethuglikkklans have nothing to offer but hate, fear, death, and insurrection.

But Jan, you don’t have any friends.
DefiantOne
The reason housing prices are low in red states is because NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE THERE. Rethuglikkklan leadership is an absolute disaster, and conservatives have done nothing good for California or America. That’s why the White House, Senate and House flipped blue and why California will stay blue.
The poorest, least-educated states and counties in America are Republican red. They contribute nothing to the American economy: full of poverty, meth, obesity, dying factories, failing schools, high infant mortality, and fleeing youth. Red states would die with tax money from big blue cities and states. Get real, QAnon.
RTG
Winemaker- enough! You’re so drunk on your own swill you’re double posting under this user name and trolling under another. Your scum bag lost the election and your party’s a bankrupt collection of fascists, white supremacists and oligarchs and running scared. Any conservative with any self respect has left the party. As Cam said- just look at who is supporting the poor red states- the blue states. And your friends in CA? I have friends and family in CA who wouldn’t live anywhere else. The facts don’t bear out your positions. Of course even CA has a few Q supporters……your so called friends must be part of that group.

See the nearby article “That time Tucker Carlson beat up a gay guy in a public restroom and bragged about it on TV” (on p. 2 right now), originally posted on Queerty four years ago on April 21, 2017 and reposted a few days ago. In the comments, DCguy a.k.a. Cam makes multiple accusations of supposed multiple posts by others.
Cam usually makes great political arguments, IMO, but he damages them by (hypocritically) making the multiple accounts accusation every. single. time. Here, RTG seems to be Cam, praising himself. But we have no proof of any multiple accounts, of course, unless Queerty looks into it.
If Cam is genuinely upset about multiple accounts, he can (as I have) ask Queerty to check IP addresses and ban anyone doing that.

Caitlin is a walking clown show. Who does she expect is going to vote for her in her own party, the transphobic GOP, in addition to any other party?
TheAbsoluteTRUTH
@cam hey you idiot unfortunately for you I’m a “new” troll i just joined the party recently but have noticed you like too say that same crap quite a bit. Have you ever thought there just might be more than one person who hasn’t been poisoned with liberalism around here or are you just that stupid.

Oh look. Another triggered reich-wing troll.
How novel. Now go fling your feces somewhere else.

I don’t think Jenner has a snowball’s chance, but don’t know CA politics enough to bother guessing who does. I’m just trying to figure out my PA ballot for May.

WE LOVE NEWSOM.
DefiantOne
California Rethuglikkklans aren’t even pretending to be fiscally responsible anymore, wasting millions on a doomed effort to recall a governor who 1) is up for re-election in 2022 and 2) whose tough leadership has resulted in a budget surplus, in $600 in-state California stimulus checks, and in California having the lowest COVID rates in the continental US, a remarkable achievement for the nation’s most populous state.
The money the GQP is wasting on this recall should be spent on housing, education, or climate change. Shame on the radical right wingers pushing this recall!
Fahd
The recall election is going to happen by the end of October, it’s not “potential” as in the story above. Also, many people wiser than me thought the guy would never win the Republican primary, but certainly not the general election in 2016. So, it seems joke candidates win sometimes especially when voter turnout is not what it should be, as may be the case in a recall election. Overall, though, I worry about a Republican replacing Newsom, and Feinstein’s seat becoming vacant. We don’t need an appointed Republican Senator from California. Maybe Newsom should resign (to be replaced by his Democratic Lieutenant Governor) thereby thwarting the recall election.
Mr. Stadnick
I’m surprised it has taken this long for Caitlyn’s folly to be mentioned on this site. Caitlyn Jenner has zero qualifications to be governor. She is making more of a fool of herself than she normally does. She is a republican and goose stepped along following trump so it seems she must also be a racist. She appears to be a bit homophobic and completely out of touch with reality that doesn’t involve a camera and endorsement deals. She should stay home re-watch her Olympic glories and reality show hijinks.
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
I stand on my soapbox saying this to each and every one of you in the trans community; you got just what you asked for when you supported and promoted Phonyanna as if Bruce Jenner was the next coming of Christ. I remember going back and forth six years ago with ol’ GC85 when Bruce was leaving hint after hint that he was going to go trans. I argued and argued that what he was doing was testing the waters to see how much he could pump in his so called “transition” and I have been proven correct.
Ok, I know there are many of you in the trans community whom refused to identify as gay even before your transition to what made you happy. But did YOU condemn the very community whom you turn to for your support? I thought not. Did YOU give all that you could legally deduct off of your income taxes to conservative causes but not ONE dime to help gay men and women less fortunate than you? I know, I know, here come the flood of things that this thing calling itself trans did for gays that never made the headlines many of you are going to dig up to throw in my face and it is your prerogative to do so, just as it is mine to call him what he is, a PHONY, or better yet Phonyana.
skipvanpelt
She’s nothing more than a media whore grubbing for a buck. Jenner couldn’t find Sacramento on a map with an arrow pointed at it.
Dymension
I like that.
azjeff17
I would vote for her to go away forever.
cuteguy
Caitlyn is a narcissist and only cares about herself. If California is dumb enough to vote in this train wreck, it deserves what it gets. Hopefully they give Gavin another chance
Dymension
Yup. Thank you.
goozy76
Not that it’s a huge deal, but. Kendall and Kylie are her real children with Kris.
BaltoSteve
You know, at this point, let her run. Let her get her ass handed to her by the MORE recessive aspects of the party she wishes to associate. Let her get dead named in public. Let her reap the fruits of her hubris and narcissism. She has been counseled by those who love and care about her, and that council was for her to not run. At this point, as members of the community, we can denounce the fear, hate and ridicule when it happens. However, we can’t nanny her into seeing reason.
Dymension
Yep, not qualified. I don’t know why people think a celebrity is qualified to run for public office. Look what happened when that other celebrity ran for President.
