Cher Defends Transgendered Son From ‘Stupid Bigots’
On Twitter, Cher has slammed the “stupid bigots” who have criticized the casting of her transgender son, Chaz Bono, on Dancing with the Stars. “lovelies! Chaz is Being Viciously Attacked on Blogs & Message boards about being on DWTS! This is Still America right ? It took guts 2 do it,” the singer wrote yesterday, rallying support for her son. “I support him no matter what he chooses 2do!”
Bono, 42, underwent a female-to-male sex change last year. He has become the target of mean-spirited jokes and outright hate messages on Twitter, blogs and message boards since ABC announced the lineup of stars taking part in the show this fall.

Cher has written several tweets on the topic over the past two days, all of which have been typed out in the singer’s distinctive headache-inducing shorthand. “Mothers don’t stop Getting angry with stupid bigots who fk with their children !,” she wrote in a text from last night.
