http://www.bilerico.com/2009/06/chaz_bono_transitions_a_few_memories_of.phpIt was announced yesterday to much fanfare that Chaz Bono is transitioning from female to male. The child of Sonny Bono and Cher, Chaz was someone many of us grew up with when his parents hoisted him on stage at the end of their variety show.
But after coming out, Chaz did something many celebrities - or children of celebrities - do not do. He tried to leverage his fame for the community. Initially as a spokesperson for HRC's National Coming Out Day, and then as an entertainment media director for GLAAD.
It was while he was at GLAAD that I got to know Chaz a little, and wanted to share a few of these stories since they can hopefully give the community a better picture of someone we all feel like we know.
