Bruce Jenner becomes Caitlyn Jenner, gains one million Twitter followers in record 4 hours
Earlier today, Bruce Jenner inspired the world by revealing herself as a beautiful woman named Caitlyn Jenner. If you haven't been following her journey, the former Olympian did an interview with Diane Sawyer in April where she announced she was transitioning to a woman. The interview was both interesting and powerful, as it furthered the understanding of LGBT people -- transgender to be specific.
As soon as I saw Caitlyn joined Twitter today, I rushed to follow her to show support and acceptance. Evidently, I was not alone. In what is apparently a world record, Ms. Jenner gains one million followers in four hours. Whoa.
To put this into perspective, Barack Obama has 2.54 million followers. Mr. Obama has a bit more, but he joined Twitter on May 18! Caitlin should overtake the leader of the USA very soon.
An excited Caitlyn Jenner tweeted the following message.
Another Jenner world record, and at 65? Who'da thought! Humbled & honored to have reached 1M followers in 4 hrs. Thank you for your support.
