Ted Cruz Wants Caitlyn Jenner To Be His Vice Presidential Running Mate

1 Comment

imageLOS ANGELES , California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) –  Reality star Caitlyn Jenner has offered to be a “trans ambassador” to U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz . Jenner told gay and lesbian publication The Advocate in an interview posted this week that she admired Cruz despite the social conservative’s stance on transgender issues.

However, Cruz, who is desperate to win the Republican nomination for president in the 2016 elections, said he wants Jenner to be more than just his trans ambassador.  He wants her to be his vice presidential running mate.

“I think that Caitlyn is the most high-profile transgender person not only in the U.S. but worldwide,” Cruz said, “and she will be a polarizing figure, bringing the LGBT community and the conservatives together. “She will also help bring out the women’s vote.”

Jenner, a declared Republican,  is reportedly seriously considering Cruz’s offer.

Meanwhile, members of the Log  Cabin Republicans, the LGBT caucus of the GOP, have said that they will oppose Jenner’s VP candidacy and will campaign to have her defeated.  “She does not represent our beliefs and values,” a closeted gay Log Cabin member told The Adobo Chronicles.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Canada may be the first country to allow a transgender woman (Jenna Talackova) to compete in the local Miss Universe pageant, but the Philippines is the first to officially open up its national beauty pageant to drag queens and transgender persons.

Whether you are a heterosexual male who just wants to dress in drag or someone assigned the male gender at birth who has transitioned into a woman, you now have an equal chance as the rest of the ladies to win one of the coveted crowns in the Binibining Pilipinas (Miss Philippines) pageant.

The Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc (BPCI) today released the revised contestant application form that includes a question on one’s gender or sex (sic). The charity is the local franchisee for several international beauty pageants, including Miss Universe and Miss International

BPCI chairperson Stella Marquez Araneta said that beauty queen aspirants no longer need to lie about their gender. “All are welcome to apply — male, female, drag queens, transgender women or men.”
