DWTS Chaz Bono’s Publicist Talks “Hope Versus Hate” And More on Good Morning America
Chaz Bono’s publicist spoke to Good Morning America this morning on the controversy and the transgender debate surrounding Chaz and the show currently. They expected some controversy, but, not on this level. Chaz has taken it well though and has used it to “motivate” himself even further. He’s committed. He’s working really hard and having a great time. No way is he going to back down to the critics and it’s only re-enforced his decision to dance. OneMillionMoms.com is brought up for what they’ve quoted. Chaz publicist considers them to be a “hate” group versus promoting family values (HUGE KUDOS to Chaz’s publicist!). Be sure to watch this as you can see Chaz and Lacey also dressed up for what I think is their Title shoot as well? Excellent video. If you haven’t done so, read an earlier posting on this issue here as well.
Adding another GMA interview …includes Chaz;








I cannot imagine the amount of pressure Chaz must be feeling over all of this.
He has people who hate him just because he changed genders and they want him to fail because of that. Heaven forbid that parents should have to explain gay/lesbian/transgendered people to kids. I’d bet the majority of those kids are way too young to have ever heard of Sonny and Cher or Chastity for that matter.
DWTS is a show about dancing. Period. If you don’t like the way he dances…don’t vote for him. But, give him a chance.
Also, when I think back on the times Maks has refered to the ‘haters’ on twitter….those people were pretty much small potatoes compared to what is going on with Chaz.
Just for the record, I am a married, straight, female senior citizen.
I don’t know who these MillionMoms are but I’m certainly glad that MY mother wasn’t one of them.
Well said Patti!!!!!
Bravo, @Patti. I wish you were MY mom. Here is hoping Chaz’ appearance on DWTS will promote discussion and tolerance, not close-minded intolerance. And I also hope Chaz has FUN!!!
I have never watched a minute of DWTS before, but plan to watch this time to cheer on Chaz. I am a married heterosexual woman with grown kids — and can’t stand all the negativity poor Chaz has been subjected to over this and his decision in general to have the surgery. I’m glad he knows who he is now and I hope he’s happy.
Awesome Diana! Welcome to the show! You are going to love it!!
Well spoken Diana. And yes, you’re going to love this show. Welcome to the club
BTW – this is the one and only site for all things DWTS. And especially stay away from the ABC site – unless things have changed dramatically over the years, they spew a lot of hate there.
Welcome, Diana! So glad Chaz brought you in and hope you get hooked on DWTS like we have. I second Linde’s comment to stay away from the ABC message board. While there are some sane, decent people who post there, the place is crawling with lunatics and maniacs who love to “hate”. Pure DWTS is the place to be!!! We don’t always agree, but the wonderful women in charge keep the discussion civil!
You Guys are so awesome. Thanks!

I’m still pretty much a novice at the whole social media thing…is there someplace online where we can go and drop a comment to show Chaz how many people SUPPORT him and what he’s doing? My guess is he’s not spending much time on Twitter *cynical smile*
Just added another video to this post….which includes Chaz speaking out in it.
These videos are great! Thank you!! <3 I love ABC for doing this. Even if their intention was a ratings/media stunt, it's still so awesome. And I'm so happy Lacey is his partner!
