Jenner: Jeff Sessions Has Been Very Anti-LGBT
RUSH EXCERPT:
JENNER: "I totally agree with you. A lot in the community are, and they were upset that I, you know, I was a Republican, and I said at the Republican National Convention, I said it was harder to come out as trans than it was to come out a member of the Republican Party. And so, yeah, it has been tough. But we have tremendous issues in our community. I talk a lot about it in the book. We have a murder rate that’s out of control right now, already this year, we’ve had nine trans women who have been murdered, just from — since the first of the year. We have a suicide rate, which is nine times higher than the general public in the trans community. And I sometimes get very disappointed with Trump, especially when he went up against Title 9, and they repealed Obama’s equality on Title 9. And Jeff Sessions has been very kind of anti-LGBT. I know on March 10th, there was a letter sent to him to try to prosecute the murderers of these trans women as hate crimes, which has been done in the past, and he never even responded to the letter which is extremely disappointing to me. So, yeah there is a lot of issues out there for our community that I’m fighting for. I want the Republican Party to do a better job."
