Mocking Bruce Jenner isn’t hate.
It is mockery.

Interesting story.
The Mummers history if you dig deep goes back to the days when the then dominant Protestants watched Irish Catholics come into Philadelphia in the 1830’s and 40’s.
The original mummers were Protestants poking fun at the Catholic newcomers.
Nowadays, we live in a Sovietized society where every act is judged political and labeled ‘inappropriate’ and investigated and purged by political authorities.

I grew up in Stratford, and the man who lived behind us competed in the fancy division; he spent all year on his 11 foot tall costume, and I got the chance to help him one year.
The purpose of the comic division was to mock everything. It’s time to just tell the people to take a joke and let it go. This is why Trump will end up President, regardless of his political positions.

...discussions on sensitivity..."sensitivity" - a weasel word for I get to decide if something you say offends me, but nothing I say will ever be acknowledged to possibly offend you.....

The Bruce Jenner “let’s pretend” story is like the tale of The Emperor’s News Clothes. Everyone sees that Bruce has made himself a laughable ever posing spectacle, but the thought police have so infiltrated the media that “officials” are afraid to allow anyone to say what they themselves and everyone thinks. Satirizing stars and public figures used to be standard. The minute it involves the practitioners of homosexuality and its various versions, everyone has to shut up and applaud the perversion or face prosecution. That alone proves how ill the Jenners of the world are.

Bruce Jenner is one confused guy. Hope he doesn't own a gun. We all know he is mentally unstable. Hope the K girls are safe. A national tragedy if Chris or Kim or Kourtney were hurt.

“cooperate with authorities looking into any complaints” -— We need to stop this immediately, or free speech will mean nothing.

The Mummers have offended everyone and everything at one point or another. The difference here is that they have offended a group of humorless mentally ill fetishists who have a track-record of attempting to destroy those who don't affirm them.
Good for the Mummers.
