Caitlyn Jenner Halloween Costume Sparks Internet Outrage: 'Disgraceful,' 'Transphobic'

I agree with the level of outrage. Caitlyn (formerly Bruce) took coming out as a very serious, if public event. Making fun/light of the situation, whether you agree with Caitlyn's lifestyle choice or not, seems to be in poor taste. Not to mention that it is demeaning and insulting to others who are going through this experience.

Has anyone else ever noticed the ridiculous Halloween costumes every single year?

Grow a set of balls and get over being offended by every little thing.

I see. A costume of Caitlyn Jenner for being Caitlyn Jenner? How is that funny? Or scary, as this is Halloween? If people think that it is, they need to grow a brain and/or a heart.

Truth be told a 65 year old man changing to a woman looks both funny and scary to a large percentage of the human race.

You may not like it, you may wish everyone hid that and acted "supporting" (ie: lying...it's what America likes), but you know you can't get the world to bend to that.

It's always "bad taste" to Halloween-up a real living person, but that will NEVER STOP

People always dress up as pop icons for whatever reason.

I didn't care then, and I don't care now.

That's besides the point. The offense is in that the costume is being made and that people going out Halloweening with their children, etc., risk seeing such an offensive costume. By your "its a costume" logic, Jews and others shouldn't be offended by someone walking down the street in a Nazi uniform with a gas mask on his face.
