Family Guy ‘predicted’ Caitlyn Jenner news
While Caitlyn Jenner made her first public appearance as a female this week, US animation Family Guy already knew she was a woman six years ago.

• ‘Gender change’ captures US
• Reality TV star Bruce Jenner in deadly car crash
The former Olympic champion (born Bruce Jenner) debuted her new name and new look as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair on Tuesday.
Coincidentally, a 2009 episode of Seth McFarlane’s Family Guy featured Brian the dog and Stewie Griffin, the scheming youngest child, at a party with Brody Jenner – Caitlyn’s real-life son.
“Eurgh, look, there’s Brody Jenner, what a d***** bag. I can’t believe that came out of Bruce Jenner’s vagina,” Stewie says, to which Brian replies: “Bruce Jenner is a man.”
“No Brian, that’s what the press would have you believe but he’s not,” Stewie retorts.
“Bruce Jenner is a woman. An elegant, beautiful Dutch woman.”

The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community welcomed Jenner’s announcement this week, as did her celebrity family, the Kardashians.
Jenner, 65, posted her first tweet introducing Caitlyn to the world, along with a glamorous photo of herself wearing lingerie on the magazine’s cover.
She also managed to break President Barack Obama’s record for amassing one million Twitter followers in the shortest time – about four hours.
