Cher presents Chaz Bono with GLAAD award

[@MAKEOVERGUY]

He reminds me of his father. Both great men. You created a wonderful child Sonny and Cher. Congratulations.

[@80sgirl96]

Chaz is his father Sonny all over again! From the height, to the voice, to the genuine sweetness.

[@rachelgallagher6214]

Couldn't agree with you more ✌♥️ from Montana

[@Sammy-mp9xn]

That sweet smile😍

[@zyxw2024]

And waistline?

[@DippyHippie]

What a wonderful kind comment!

[@gypsysdaddy21]

Anyone notice Chaz's voice sounds a lot like his dad's? I hope he's been told this, I'm sure it'd mean the world to him.

[@ambersmith6981]

Yes very much so

[@amycrumedy6586]

She is not a he whatever you are borne as that is what you are for life nothing can change whatever god has done .

[@jamiemarie4894]

Amy Crumedy grow up.

[@jamiemarie4894]

Omg I just realized that! So true!

[@kaitlynamira3916]

Yes I noticed this also.

[@leibun]

I love how frank she is being! About the true feelings of having your little daughter becoming a man ... there is no hatred there, she clearly LOVES her Chaz with all her heart, but she is not afraid to admit that his transition was difficult for her. Of course it was!! I’m extremely pro-trans, I am a major ally, but pretending that it wouldn’t be difficult as a mother would just be lying.

[@Friendofstfrank]

She was a lousy mother who pretty much abandoned her kids Chaz was lucky as he had Sonny to take care of him. Soñny supported him while he was a lesbian activist and imagine would have supported his transition. But as Chaz says, I can't wait for her approval, so as always, I just did my own thing. But she is Cher. You HAVE TO love her. Elijah Blue Allman wasn't so lucky. He was shipped off to boarding school at age 7. No dad or mom for him. Was never close to his mother and lost closeness to Chaz decades ago. Cher became quite angry when Elijah was going to get married to a long-time girlfriend. As he said, Cher felt she was the only woman he could have in his life. But, like Chaz, he said he would make his own path as always. Did not have Cher at the wedding and she has nothing to do with him..unlike Chaz, he isn't a trinket for her to use. Also like Chaz he said, she is Cher, you HAVE TO LOVE HER. A couple of months ago she filed a lawsuit against Mary Bono over obtaining royalties from Sonny's copyright songs. She says she is entitled to 50% of the money for anything Sonny did while he was with her. On the flip side, when she uses Sonny's work or images to promote her career, she gives Mary Bono nothing. Interesting watching interviews with her now as she lies about pretty much everything and her ego says me, me, me. When you are older, and listen to her, you think that is not true. But you HAVE TO LOVE HER because she is 'Cher'.

[@DippyHippie]

Sounds like Pricilla Presley! Also,u don’t like Cher….WHY come on here to write down her faults?How would YOU feel if someone wrote down all your faults?

[@BlueForTheRoses]

I hear Sonny in his voice...Literally...he sounds a lot like Sonny. Awesome.

[@sweetlife031]

If I close my eyes, I swear that's Sonny. Sonny died ...but his spirit and voice definitely came back in Chaz. I really think Chaz knew even before transitioning that he was meant to be a male...and now he's sensible ...and a chip off the block :)

[@ronnykmarshall]

His voice dose sound like Sonny.

[@nanami436]

He actually sounded like Cher before his transition, his singing voice sounds like Cher before. Now he sounds like Sonny.

[@DianeRoma1]

Rick, you're absolutely right!

[@denimlether5812]

Well, the voice is forced, like with the sideburns. And maybe wanted to sound like Sonny. Even though they look nothing alike.

[@B1uelamp]

As much as I love Cher WTF IS THAT WIG 😂

[@georgefeist8190]

NO SHE GREW IT FOR 8 YEARS...of course it is.

[@icarlos3640]

She honestly looks like that time torgy thor wear that fat suit 💀

[@ShellyBomb]

Not her best look ... 😌

[@bchlvr645]

@@ShellyBomb 😂 that's why we love her so much💗she has no problem humiliating herself 😂🤣

[@nancyzorbaugh510]

I was asking the same thing about the wig

[@lovingmayberry307]

Chaz, your mom is right! You are sooooo courageous to be able to be your TRUE self, and your mom and dad are to be congratulated for raising such a confident daughter, and now, son! Kudos!! 💓❤💞💗

[@mygreekteacher483]

cher is a gorgeous mum, chaz is so lucky to have her...and that's true, he is a very courageous man...bravo sony & cher!

[@lilwing6969]

No matter how "he" was born... This is a great wonderful human being!

[@tuttut3]

I think Cher is such a great model for parents of LGBT kids, because she never pretends she doesn't struggle with his transition. She is a good example of what the process of acceptance looks like. I'm trans and my parents are not very good about it and I, of course, wish they could just be totally accepting and get pronouns right, etc, but I think it is important to have someone who clearly loves her child no matter what and is trying to adapt to a huge change but screws up. I don't expect my family to get on board quickly because it is a huge change to no longer have a daughter but a son and I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect that instant change. The change has to happen, but it's important for both the parents as well as the gay or trans child to realize that it's ok it it isn't easy, as long as you're making progress and never lose the base of love between you, you haven't failed.

[@Paperbachwriter]

My youngest sister is transgendered, I and most of the our family, struggle with the "pronouns", too. We appeared on the Sally Jesse Raphael show many years ago, there was a young transgendered man onstage with us, in full drag. His mother and sisters wouldn't get on the stage, but chose to sit in the front row and at every commercial would holler horrible things to her. Finally we got her up to sit next to her. She kept saying, "I gave birth to a boy!" I grabbed her hand and asked her to look me in the eye. When she finally did I told her, "You gave birth to a baby. That baby didn't know it was a boy or a girl. This is your child, love him, who he believes he is inside is his business. It quit being your business when they cut that umbilical cord."

[@FredericaBimble]

Sher Bach Wow, well said and if you don't have any children, the world needs moms like you. I have heard very few people actually realise that someone's child is not property or copies of them.

[@Paperbachwriter]

Frederica Bimble Thank you Frederica. I raised two sons who are now husbands and fathers themselves. I wasn't the perfect mom by any means and made alot of mistakes. But I taught them to love and respect all living beings. They turned out to be marvelous men, in spite of me.

[@ThatBernie]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with struggling. Thinking of a loved one as a "she" and then having to suddenly think of them as a "he" is not easy, and nobody ever said it would be. But it MUST be done, and we have to recognize that transgender people have always existed, and transitioning is not something that they're "doing to us"-this is just them trying to exist in the world. And we have to recognize the immense harm that can come from not recognizing someone's actual gender, even if we (unintentionally) make mistakes.

[@justgivemethetruth]

How would you know really? You see the same PR face everyone else does. Cher cannot have a bad image, so what you see is a very careful image that a lot of money rests on.

[@StlyDutch]

I don't know what the GLAAD award is, but I'm glad he got it, Chaz is an amazing person.

[@leibun]

GLAAD is an organization who focuses on LGBT+ issues and portrayal in the media.

[@eli3568]

Cher was really trying her best and clearly loves Chaz. She obviously loves him very much.

[@prodbycha]

The most mom speech ever

[@donnieraveling188]

It is awesome that Chaz received this award and Cher his mother was there. They were instrumental in my coming out in 1989 to my then wife. We went to her parents who were church goers and they had a magazine I think TIME was sitting on the table. I read it in secret of course but knew I had to be true and honest about myself. Well that was a long time ago and we are all happier.

[@dannystargazer]

i love that cher is channeling Diana ross with that wig

[@weirdthingstoeat7198]

LOL!

[@jarac1357]

She loves her baby.

[@andreawoof7747]

Cher is awesome and timeless

[@BethCampbell-b9c]

So awesome! I can't get over how much he sounds like Sonny! Chaz, you're awesome!!

[@michelleobrien6996]

that text message that she quotes - aaaw so sweet - it touched my heart too

[@HewanYitagesu]

I love you cher BUT having said that.....the wig is ATROCIOUS !!

[@madmanmarketing1]

Eve Yitagesu afrotious

[@rvpstudiosstudios1028]

[@B1uelamp]

Eve Yitagesu ye 😂

[@angelinabrennen]

I love it though

[@georgefeist8190]

TRIBUTE TO ANGELA DAVIS?...

[@justinwilson1217]

Why do people who don't like cher, or chaz, or glbt community click on this and watch and comment? Cher is awesome, and there's a big ass picture or her, and description of the video. If you don't have anything nice to say, click on something else. Yeah? lol

[@tdibari]

Rick, you are right, he sounds just like Sonny!

[@hectorchavez4562]

YESS.. HE HAS HIS FATHERS VOICE!! 💙💙💙💙💙😊😊

[@392christinemarie]

Good for Cher for supporting Chaz - Chaz is happier now

[@elleirbag14]

I have always loved Cher. I knew little about her daughter, but after following Chaz' story I think he is amazing, and a great activist!

[@donnalombardo1135]

She was always on their tv show when she was little check it out when she was chastity she was cute

[@jofie36]

congrats so much Chaz...and what a lovely mother you have that has become so understanding about your life change..

[@cassidyjordan3005]

Unconditional love:)) yay. Love them both.

[@toknow3491]

GOOD FOR CHER NOT EASY ... BUT LOVE WINS AS IT ALWAYS WILL

[@gferrer10]

cher is just amazing!!!

[@winterlandboy]

His speaking voice is like Sonnys.I havent seen much of this story as I dont live in the US,but Its hard for me to get my head round this:and that is that I recall a small girl on The Sonny and Cher show many yearts ago,and that small girl grew into this large man,and that is strange to me ...still.This is no judgment call in any way,and he seems like a good and genuine guy..Its just a bit disconcerting but more power to him for having the bottle to shape his life as he sees fit.Thats very cool...and brave

[@1212matt]

I love Cher.. I think she upstaged everyone...after all she is Chaz's mother :)

[@ashleybarnard2538]

A true loving mother u maybe upset over their choices but u work through it with them and u continue to love ur child no what. I always want my daughter to know no matter what she can always tell me anything

[@CooperManson]

Chaz is so brave.

[@krystallovern6752]

[@1212matt]

Cher lights up the room!

[@BOBWATERFRONTLIVING]

WOW !!! What a difference from that beautiful little angelic blonde baby girl Cher used to hold in her arms so proudly on the Sonny & Cher show. I guess we all have to realize that we give them the gift of life + a name. What they do with it when they grow up is their business. God bless you Cher. All your seXXXy wigs and you wore that train wreck tonight? Hmmmmmmmmmm???

[@yg-lc4ll]

Cher it must be tough when you thought you had it all and found out you didnt

[@donnaking7439]

Poor Sonny died in a random ski accident. His time on this earth was through. I think things happen for a reason.

[@baublesanddolls]

And what would be that reason??! 🙄

well I didn't expect that Usher song that suddenly played when Cher asked her son to get the award!

[@jarac1357]

I love Cher.

[@JeannieVanderburg]

only if some people saw what i did one night you would wanna help a loved one and not judge. we got a world of too many haters

[@mmb1572]

This was so hard for Cher to accept. She loved her daughter, and to feel like she lost a daughter for son must be so uncomfortable. I think it would have been easier for Cher to accept her gay daughter. I think time may help her, to accept she now has a son.

[@xwrtk]

She’s very different now. Loves him very much as a trans man. Even made apology for all the times she misgendered him on accident.

[@cherforever04]

i love her energy and she still looks d*** good for her age

[@krpbdp]

Chaz you are an inspiration and should be very proud. I can't understand the hateful comments here; some of you people should be banned from the internet!

[@dgmojojojo]

after electrocuted Cher looking at her watch and then "Crap, had a speech in GLAAD media awards" and then off she go
