People.com reported in a June 18 article that Chaz's mother, Cher, as well as his stepmother, the widow of his late father Sonny Bono, are fully supportive of his decision to transition physically.
Cher told People, "Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support."
Added the singer and actress--who is herself an icon to her gay fan base--"I respect the courage it takes to go through this transition in the glare of public scrutiny and although I may not understand I will strive to be understanding.
"The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child."
