Reports: Chaz Bono on “Dancing With the Stars”
Dancing With the Stars, which has had very little LGBT representation in all its years on the air, has reportedly signed Chaz Bono as a celebrity contestant for its upcoming season.
This is GREAT news if it does indeed come to pass.
It’s not only a personal opportunity for the only child of Cher and Sonny Bono to take on a physical challenge, having him on such a high-profile show will be the most exposure most people will ever have had to a transgender person.
Chaz transitioned from the female Chastity Bono to the male Chaz Bono and his journey was chronicled in the documentary Becoming Chaz and the memoir Transition: the story of how I became a man.

Sounds like this years contestants will make it a “must watch” season!
Rhianon Etzweiler says:
Looking forward to watching the show this season. Definitely a must-see. Very encouraging to have a trans* in a high visibility spot like this, perhaps it will raise some awareness. I’ll be rooting for him!
