CAITLYN JENNER TO HEADLINE REPUBLICAN FUNDRAISER IN SAN FRANCISCO

imageSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The Republican Party just knows that San  Francisco’s  LGBT community is dying to see Caitlyn Jenner in person and pay big bucks for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  So the GOP is bringing Jenner to the City by the Bay to headline a fundraiser to raise funds for the 2016 presidential political campaign.

San Franciscans will have that opportunity on Monday, February 29, 2016 at the War Memorial at 8:00 p.m.  It is being described as an “intimate” event with  the former Bruce Jenner. It is sponsored by Unique Life Experiences and San Francisco Chronicle.

Tickets are $40 each, but special VIP tickets, reportedly priced at $500 (that’s about a fifth of the rent for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco) will afford Jenner fans a rare opportunity to have a selfie photo with the Olympic star turned reality TV show celebrity.

The Adobo Chronicles® tried to contact the Transgender Law Center and other transgender groups in the San Francisco Bay Area for comment but our calls have not yet been returned as of presstime.

Stay tuned.

HAWAII IS FIRST ALL-GAY TEAM IN U.S. COLLEGE FOOTBALL

imageHONOLULU, Hawaii  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Michael Sam, Jr. may be the first openly-gay player in professional football in the U.S., but Hawaii’s Warriors are the first-ever, all-gay team in college football.

The University of Hawaii team players recently unveiled their retro uniforms which they wore during last Saturday’s game against Ohio State.

The all-white threads possess kelly green numbers with rainbow stripes on the shoulder pads and pants.

A white helmet with a green facemask and a 1980s rainbow logo will complement the Warriors’ throwback-style uniforms.

Unfortunately,  gay Hawaii lost to the Ohio Buckeyes, 38-0.

During the game, members of the antigay Westboro Baptist Church picketed outside the Ohio Stadium in Columbus. “God hates fags,” read one protest sign. “Rainbows have no place in football,” read another.

CAITLYN JENNER CAN’T HANDLE PRESSURE, WANTS TO TRANSITION BACK

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Until recently, Caitlyn Jenner had enjoyed a relatively warm reception by the transgender and larger LGBTQ community. While many raised an eyebrow at her affiliation with the Republican Party and a chorus of trans advocates rightly cautioned that Jenner’s privileged position as a wealthy celebrity made her a poor representative of the larger trans experience, most of the community welcomed having such a high-profile and potentially influential figure join the fold.

But as always, honeymoon periods don’t last very long.

Recent statements by Jenner on the Ellen DeGeneres show and on The Today Show (with Matt Lauer) demonstrating her little understanding of day-to-day transgender issues and about same-sex marriage have angered the transgender and LGBTQ communities and many have withdrawn their support for the Olympic, and now, reality TV star.

That’s a lot of pressure for Jenner. First, coming out, and now having to deal with criticism and pressure from the transgender  and LGBTQ communities.

So, she has decided to transition back.

Kim Kardashian couldn’t be more pleased at the decision of her former step father.

Meanwhile, E! Television has announced it was replacing the show “I am Cait” with “I am Bruce … Again.”
