Raven Symone 'The View' Stars Says LGBT Activist Caitlyn Jenner Moving Too Fast

While I Am Cait has been heating up the airwaves and the Internet since it debuted earlier this weekend, it has been catching the attention of a lot of fans. However, it seems that everyone has their different viewpoints on Caitlyn Jenner's new E! series, including The View's newest permanent co-host Raven Symone. The former Disney star might be the LGBT voice on the ABC talk show, but it doesn't seem that she finds Jenner's now show "So Raven."

In fact according to Us Weekly, she is finding some faults with the way Caitlyn has been portrayed on the new series.

"I think it's wonderful, and yes, it needs a light being shined on it," the star explained on The View. "When I came out, I didn't go and go hardcore and be like, 'I'm going to save the world for LGBT...' You've got to learn it. You've got to learn it first, and she's not, really."

The star also explained that where her and Caitlyn differ on their viewpoints is that Jenner considers herself an advocate for the LGBT community, whereas Raven says that she would never give herself that title.

"I can't be," the star said of being labeled an advocate, adding that it is the pioneers in the community that she looks towards to follow their actions. "I learned from the real gay rights activists. I can only do what I can."

As far as Jenner goes, Raven says that while she knows that trans rights are something that need to be discussed, with Caitlyn it feels very rushed.

"I'm not faulting [Caitlyn], because yes, we need [her]. It's too fast, too soon," the star explained.
