You knew an apology was coming, it was only a matter of when. After all, once you upset the Gay Mafia and they get word back to the Queen, all bets are off.Earlier this month, Caitlyn Jenner made headlines after sharing her thoughts regarding same-sex marriage on Ellen. “I kind of like tradition, and it’s always been a man and a woman,” she said. “I’m thinking, ‘I don’t quite get it.’”In a blog post published Monday, Jenner changed her tune. She wrote:I want to help each of you understand something that I only recently embraced: Being different is okay – in fact, it’s great! But I also understand it takes some getting used to. Like many people, there was a time when I didn’t realize how important it is for gay couples to have the right to get married. But after hearing from my gay friends and learning more about the hardships they faced because of discrimination, it became clear to me that everyone should be able to marry the person they love.There’s something sort of nice about this entire turn of events, isn’t there? We haven’t just seen Caitlyn learn more about herself over these past few months - we’ve seen her learn more about entire groups of marginalized people. Groups of people she—as a wealthy, “traditionalist,” white Republican—may not have thought about much even one year ago.
