Caitlyn Jenner donates more than $50,000 to LGBT charities
The reality star recently took back her support of President Donald Trump
Caitlyn Jenner has donated more than $50,000 to LGBT charities in Arizona following her Washington Post op-ed denouncing her support for President Donald Trump.
Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner Foundation Executive Director Sophia Hutchins appeared in Phoenix to announce the foundation’s donations of $20,000 to the Southwest Center’s Transgender Resource and Navigation Service (TRANS), an organization that helps transgender and non-binary individuals receive health care access, $20,000 to GLSEN Phoenix, the Phoenix chapter of the organization that works toward inclusive school environments for LGBT students, $15,000 to the Arizona Trans Youth and Parent Organization (AZTYPO), a group that helps transgender children and their families, and $30,000 to Mulligan’s Manor, a home for at-risk LGBT youth in Phoenix.
“I want to concentrate on this next generation coming up, the ones that are 5 to 15 to 20 years old, this next generation coming up to make it easier for them. Don’t put all of these challenges out in front of them. Make it more normal,” Jenner told Fox10 Phoenix.
The reality star and former Olympian also marked the occasion on Twitter tweeting: “I had a great time today distributing four grants to extremely deserving organizations in the Phoenix area. I am blessed to be a part of this community.”

This John Waters interview has been edited for readability — but perhaps not human decency
Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
