Chaz Bono

Openly gay lesbian, Chaz Bono, born Chastity Bono, 42, recently underwent a sex change operation to go from a woman to a man. This month she was announced as a participant in the next season of the television show "Dancing With The Stars." However, the ABC network has received a flood of complaints from angry viewers offended at her sex change that do not want her on their television screens.

Bono is the daughter of singer Cher and her late husband, Sonny Bono. She spoke of an incident when she was 15-years-old, regarding a time that Cher left her with one of her older female friends, to go on tour and Chaz was molested by the older lesbian pal of her mom. Cher was furious. Bono spoke of it as her introduction to sex and the point where she became a lesbian. Bono stated in her book that Cher was upset that she became a lesbian, kicking her out of the house. She also stated her mom was angry she had a sex change and discouraged it.

While I do not agree with homosexuality, as I am a Christian and like most religions of the world, such as Islam and Buddhism, the gay lifestyle is deemed a sin, I feel sorry for Chaz Bono. She seems like a woman going through a lot. Her eyes always look so sad and tormented. Bono seems like she is hurting and struggling with terrible emotional pain, conflict and turmoil. I pray she will find God one day and return to being who He made her - a woman.
