Pretty self-explanatory thread here. Michael Jackson‘s daughter, Paris, tweeted what probably seemed at the time like a positive thing to say, but wasn’t exactly thought-through. Twitter quickly corrected her, as Twitter is won’t to do. Read the lively exchange of opinions below. (Btw, I’m with Paris, Laverne Cox WOULD be a great Senator!)
i’d rather lavern cox run for senate but hey beggars can’t be choosers. caitlyn’s got my vote

yeah i mean i hear the lgbtq community doesn’t really endorse her, but regardless, having a trans woman in office is still a step forward. https://t.co/j9EPb5G3Er

well a lot of people hated the choices obama made as president but having an aftican american as president was still progress. i loved him

which is disgusting, but she’s going to have to change some of those views in order to get elected. this IS california we’re talking about.

not “just because” of her gender. yea she supports trump but in order to get elected in a blue state she’s gonna have to become more liberal
— Paris-Michael K. J. (@ParisJackson) July 17, 2017
keep in mind she will not survive in this state politically as a trans woman if she stays totally conservative republican

In the end, she doesn’t seem to have budged on her position, but I don’t think we can get too upset with her. Her heart’s in the right place. She’s just still very young and trying to figure it all out. (via ONTD; Photo: Pacific Coast News)
