Earlier this week I reported that Chaz Bono, the transgender child of Cher and Sonny Bono, was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. What a great bold move for ABC, I thought. Well, apparently a lot of people think differently.
TheWrap.com is reporting that ABC’s message board lit up with hostile, hateful comments about Chaz. “How low can this show sink” was one comment. Others suggest that is was “sickening” and simply a media conspiracy to “flaunt” gay culture.
Maybe we need to stick up for our community. If you’re so inclined, you can go here to the DWTS message board and post your own comment. Don’t let the haters win.
Chaz is a man in a relationship with a woman….That seems pretty HET to me. Far, far more HET than Michelle and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Marcus Bachman
When Lance Bass was on the show, they had him dance with a female partner. I’d call that a media conspiracy to flaunt heterosexual culture.
