Chaz Bono appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America today to discuss the “controversy” surrounding his casting on Dancing with the Stars and respond to conservative critics who have accused the network of pushing the “LGBT agenda.” “I’m going to be dancing. I’m not up on there talking about anything other than dancing. People who don’t have gender dysphoria aren’t going to catch it by watching me dance on television,” he said. Wach it:
Meanwhile, the Family Research Council’s (FRC) Tony Perkins used his daily Washington Watch radio alert to slam the network. “Forget ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ ABC is dancing with the transgenders…. the indoctrination is in full swing. This fall, ABC’s picked its first transsexual to compete. Chaz Bono, the famous child of Sonny and Cher, may have been born a woman–but she’ll be dancing as a man. And while the gay community approves, fans certainly don’t.”
