 Cher: Struggles but supports child's sex change
Cher has struggled to understand her child's decision to have a sex change operation. However she has remained supportive and respectful of the courage that it has taken. In a statement the pop star has told this to the reporters on Thursday.
Formerly Chastity Bono is the child of Cher and Sonny Bono and now goes by the name Chaz Bono. Chaz has started operations and hormone treatments in order to become a man.
"Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support," added sixty three year old Cher, by issuing forth a statement to a famous news magazine and other celebrity media outlets.
Cher continued, "I respect the courage it takes to go through with 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."
Long ago Chaz Bono came out of the closet as a lesbian and wrote in a 1998 memoir of how Cher reacted with horror to the news. Earlier this week, Bono revealed plans for the sex change.
In a long career, Cher has enjoyed hit songs namely "If I Could Turn Back Time" and "Believe." During 1960s, she partnered with Sonny for hits like "I Got You Babe" and "The Beat Goes On." The pair had a hit television show in the 1970s. Sonny, who went on to a career in politics, died in the year 1998.
