Chaz Bono | Transgender Man

He initially identified himself as a lesbian when he confirmed it with The Advocate’s magazine in April 1995. His transition to manhood started in mid-2008. In case you’re out of the loop, Chaz’s parents are Sonny Bono and the magnificent Cher, a vocal ally of the LGBTQ+ community.

Chastity Sun Bono was his birth name but eventually turned into Chaz Salvatore Bono. He was born in Los Angeles, California, on March 4, 1969. After he came out, he then worked for The Advocate as a writer. Also, for a person with a significantly large platform, he did impressive things for the group. He was a Human Rights Campaign’s spokesperson and became GLAAD or Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s Entertainment Media Director. As an actor, he has acting credit with numerous television series such as American Horror Story: Cult, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Where the Bears Are.
