Chaz Bono

(1/3) > >>

Monika:
Chaz Bono, son of the legendary pop duo Sonny & Cher, will be making a New York City appearance to sign copies of “Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man.”

Born Chastity Sun Bono in 1969, Chaz is the author of “Family Outing: A Guide to the Coming Out Process for Gays, Lesbians, and Their Families” (1998) and a 2003 memoir, “The End of Innocence.”

In 1995, Chaz formally identified himself publicly as a lesbian in an interview with national gay and lesbian magazine “The Advocate.” And in 2008, at age 39, Bono began undergoing transformation from female to male, and one year ago, legally changed his name and gender.

He has been an outspoken activist for the LGBT community for 15 years, has been a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, actively canvassed against the Defense of Marriage Act, and has been involved in promoting National Coming Out Day. “Transition” will be released on May 10, 2011.

hm...I just now noticed the date. Perhaps his appearance in NY is already in the past. Interesting man, in any case.

Buffy, did you see his documentary?  I didn't see it in its entirety, but I'll catch it on OWN (Ophrah Winfrey's Network) Sunday night.  The documentary is awesome.  When Chaz was still Chastity, she held sort of a mini seminar at my niece's school.  The kids loved her and found her to be quite warm and approachable.

CellarDweller:
I saw part of the episode on OWN the other night.  It was very interesting.

No, I didn´t. I´ll try and find it.

This is blatant promosexuality. Talk about selling out. Chaz is clearly more interested in his bank account and getting off the D list than helping sexual minorities.

Sad.
