Jeff Leatham clearly knows how to purpose in style. Colton Haynes posted "I said yes" along with a picture of fireworks and Cher being played on a large screen. I guess Jeff had Cher sing "I Got You Babe" and set off the fireworks. Well played sir.

It was hard. I have so many Russian friends. I have lots of Russian fans and I have so many people there that I love…So that was difficult. The Russian people that I know are great and don't agree with [the anti-gay legislation]. They just don't agree with it.

Cher Calls Ellen Show About Chaz

Cher called during her son Chaz Bono's appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres's show and she had a very strong opinion towards the trans haters who've complained about Chaz on Dancing With the Stars.

If you got that excess time and that amount of hostility, I'm not so sure that I can say anything to you that would make you change your feelings. Those are feelings of such hostility and fear I don't know that I would have any magic words to make you feel more comfortable and to soothe you into not being terrified of my child dancing on Dancing With the Fucking Stars.

Cher Shows Support For Chaz

Cher isn't happy with the controversy surrounding her son Chaz Bono's participation on the next season of Dancing With The Stars. She is going to make a surprise visit on the show to show her support but of course we can't know which one. In response, last night on the news I saw a nut job from Focus on the Family telling all Christians they should boycott the show. I hope the ratings go through the roof and their hatred bites them in the ass.

Cher on Chaz's Gender Transition

Cher will be on the cover of Vanity Fair this December and tells the magazine how she struggles with her son Chaz Bono’s gender transition. She describes the issues she faces but remains a proud mother.

If I woke up tomorrow in a guy’s body, I would just kick and scream and cry and fucking rob a bank, because I cannot see myself as anything but who I am — a girl. I would not take it as well as Chaz has. I couldn’t imagine it. She’s a very smart girl — boy! This is where I get into trouble. My pronouns are f#%ked. I still don’t remember to call her ‘him.

Chaz Has the Moms' Support

Chaz Bono has both his mother's and step-mother's support during his transition and gender reassignment. Cher, who initially struggled with Chaz's sexuality, issued a statement to People in support of her son:

Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support. 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.

Excellent avoidance of gender pronouns. (That wasn't sarcastic, I really do like that.) His stepmother, congressperson Mary Bono Mack, is also supporting his transition:

Chaz has always been a loving and important part of our family who has supported us all through thick and thin. This is a very difficult decision that Chaz has fully vetted, and over the past decade, has discussed the matter thoroughly and consulted therapists and medical experts. As he moves forward, I will be there to support him and love him every step of the way.

Nice to see strong family support. If you care, Chaz, I support you in this, too. Just so you know.
