WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles ) – It is common knowledge that the former Bruce Jenner was a Republican. It is therefore not a surprise that among the first to welcome Caitlyn into their fold was the Log Cabin Republicans.
Log Cabin Republicans is the nation’s original and largest organization representing gay conservatives and allies who support fairness, freedom, and equality for all Americans, and who believe in electing Republicans into office. Just this year, the California chapter officially gave charter status to the group, giving it a vote in state Republican party matters and policies.
Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has reportedly reached out to Caitlyn in the hope that she will switch party affiliation.
The committee is confident that it can win over Caitlyn, citing the fact that there are more Democrats who support her and who support key LGBT issues like same-sex marriage.
“While Bruce was Republican, Caitlyn is an entirely new person and that new person is more aligned with the Democratic ideology, especially as it relates to LGBT equality,” a DNC spokesperson said.
The DNC cited the fact that all declared Republican presidential candidates believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, and that most are lukewarm to giving equal federal rights to LGBTs.
The ball is now in Caitlyn’s court.
