Caitlyn Jenner: “I don’t see dating women in the future”
Caitlyn Jenner deals with politics, marriage equality and her sex life in "I Am Cait" season 2
At the Television Critics Association Press Tour, Caitlyn Jenner announced that — after three wives and many children — she was done with dating women.
In a clip from the upcoming series, Jenner announces: “To be honest with you, I don’t see dating women in the future. I’ve been there, done that. I have three ex-wives.”
“Then you can have an ex-husband,” series regular Jennifer Finney Boylan responds.
In another clip, Jenner also addresses the controversy she generated after offering a mediocre endorsement of marriage equality on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“Looking back on it, I didn’t explain it as well as I should have,” she concedes.
After previews for the second season of I Am Cait, Jenner answered questions from reporters, where she was asked about a number of topics, including her politics and recent comments from Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes, according to Gay Star News.
One reporter mentioned that Jenner’s Republican politics stood at odds with the party’s stance on LGBT issues.
“Democrats have been better in this issue,”Jenner said. “Isn’t it good they have someone on the team who can going in there (to try) and change their minds? We have our fingers crossed that we can win them over.”
At the Golden Globes, Gervais poked fun at Jenner during his opening monologue.
“What a year she’d had. She became a role model for trans people everywhere showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and destroying stereotypes — she didn’t do a lot for women drivers,” he said, referencing an accident Jenner was in that caused the death of one person and injured others. Jenner was asked by a reporter what her response was to Gervais’ comments.
“I think what I’m going to do is call the Golden Globes and see if they need a new host for next year,” she said, “and we will solve that problem.”
