We never would have imagined that Russell Brand would stick up for Bruce Jenner, but the British comedian did just that over the weekend in a video on his YouTube show Trews.
Russell went on a rant about how the media is picking apart Bruce's appearance and said:
- "This is bullying. Stop. Stop. Bruce Jenner is a human being. If you
want to learn more about transgender issues, look at GLAAD.org."
Bruce has been growing out his hair for quite some time now, and after stepping out with painted nails, diamond studs and what looks like lip gloss, many have been speculating that the reality star is transitioning into a woman. The latest issue of In Touch Weekly features Bruce with lipstick Photoshopped on his face, along with the title, "Bruce's Story: My Life As A Woman."
"Transphobia seems to be the most recent and encouraged form of prejudice, now that racism and homophobia are not tolerated," Brand continued. "It's such a celebration of the worst aspects of human values," Brand said. "What this does is it sanctions people being judgmental and cruel toward transgender folks."
