“Paint Your Nails For Bruce”: a show of support for Bruce Jenner that started in Australia
A GLOBAL social media moment to show support for former US Olympian-turned-reality TV star Bruce Jenner who recently announced he is a trans woman started in Sydney, Australia.
The movement has seen men and women painting their finger nails and posting photos of it on social media along with the hashtag #PaintYourNailsForBruce.
Jenner’s interview with Diane Sawyer, which was watched by more than 17 million people in the US, sparked radio personality Kyle Sandilands to paint his nails as a sign of support through his radio station’s Twitter account. Since then countless others have followed suit:

In the interview with Sawyer, Jenner hopped that with his public announcement he would “be able to have my nail polish on long enough that it actually chips off“.

What a wanker! He just wants the publicity, couldn’t give a shit about Bruce Jenner.
Lol.
I’m sorry to hear the Star Observer is giving this shock jock coverage – it’s obvious he’s jumping onto yet another cause to help his battered image – Sandilands – not Bruce that is. After what Sandilands called me (and others) he should never be believed when it comes to supporting the LGBTI community :-(
I guess it is a form of counter culture.
Lol how stupid!
Why?
Don’t get me wrong i think Bruce rock’s, I just I thought it was funny and a dumb way to support him :)
I guess he has had fear that wearing nail polish and being seen, so maybe it’s about removing the judgment of one wearing nail polish
If he was a woman he wouldn’t think twice about wearing it … ?
You are a fool.
R u serious
