Chaz Bono Comes Out as Transgender
Posted in General Post on June 12th, 2009“Chaz Bono (formerly Chastity Bono), the child of singers Sonny and Cher and former Director of Entertainment Media at GLAAD, announced today that he has made the decision to transition from female to male.”
“Yesterday, Chaz Bono took matters into his own hands and came out a second time as a man. Bono’s transition is the highest profile transition in recent history, and as gays and lesbians have learned, whenever a high profile individual comes out, it often helps pave the way towards acceptance, sometimes much more than lobbying and running PSAs, because when someone familiar comes out, it makes the concept much more tangible and human and much less abstract and foreign. It also helps provide courage for others to come out.”
Yay Chaz!
