Cher defends son against bigots.

[Spellbound454]

Cher has criticised the "stupid bigots" who have attacked the casting of her transgender son, Chaz Bono, on US show Dancing With The Stars.

The singer defended Bono, who underwent a female-to-male sex change last year, saying "it took guts" to participate in the celebrity ballroom dancing show.

"Chaz is being viciously attacked on blogs and messageboards about being on DWTS!" she said via her Twitter page.

What do you think?

Hi Spell, I don't really know what to think. If people cant accept a person for what they are, then leave them alone. The way Chaz Bono chooses to live is life is his affair no one elses. It's not as if he's causing any harm to anyone is it?

Chaz bono was going to take the male role on a "Dancing with the Stars" type program.

It could have gone a way to breaking down barriers....though I'm not quite sure why Chaz Bono is a "Star"

There has been a public outcry and people have said they refuse to watch the show......each to their own but bigotry is alive and well as always I see.

What I dont understand is his/her need for public approval?

Get on with your life, and stuff everyone else, what does it matter what others think.

What a lot of folks object to is having other peoples sexuallity, or what ever, being rammed down their throats, at every verse end.

I have no real problem with this.
