She got you, babe. Cher has taken to Twitter to defend her son Chaz Bono’s decision to join Dancing With the Stars as the series’ first transgendered contestant. After becoming aware that Chaz was taking a lot of heat from transphobic Internet commenters, she encouraged her fans to voice support for him on blogs and message boards and reminded everyone, “Mothers don’t stop Getting angry with stupid bigots who fk with their children !”

Cher assures America: “bet VAST MAJORITY of People will LOVE CHAZ on DWTS ! & it’s took Fkg Guts 2! Chaz isn’t exactly the ‘Gotta Dance Gotta Dance’ kinda Guy.”

Chaz wrote back: “Thanks for all your support mom. The haters are just motivating me to work harder and stay on DWTS as long as I possibly can.”

DWTS executive producer Conrad Green told ABC News he thinks people will relish getting to know Chaz better, and hopes that by the Sept. 19 premiere, this will be a non-issue. “We’re not going to be making a huge amount of issue out of people’s sexuality,” he said. “We never have on the show.”

  1. who cares if a person is cute or they uglie or even unattractive they are, as long as they are a good person and has a good heart.

  2. Regarless of cute/not cute/trans/gay/straight or any other category, Chaz Bono can barely walk, let alone dance. I don’t see him going too far in the competition.

    That said, he’ll raise America’s awareness of transpeople by being on one of the highest rated TV shows. As long as he’s not a total doofus, this is a good thing.

  3. It is beside the point whether you find him physically attractive. Such comments are only meant to demean and are not helpful. It is a good thing that he has the inner strength to put himself out there.

  4. @uncutrobbie … typical pretentious gay comment. Like the only people in the world worth anything are only those to whom you are specifically attracted…dumb…
