Chastity, Now Chaz
Chastity Bono, adult daughter of entertainers Sonny and Cher, came out as a transman, declaring that he had always felt more like a heterosexual man than a lesbian and requesting that he be referred to as Chaz. He shared his story with the nation, according to his publicist, because: “It is Chaz’s hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his coming out did.” Mother Cher stood by Chaz’s side and pledged her eternal support.
