Chaz’s story is among the most inspiring. Transforming into a man began in 2011 at 39. Cher has always supported her loving son, even when it was hard.

Cher initially struggled with her LGBT son. Chaz said she went “ballistic” when she learned.

Cher is well-known. Her incredible career comes to mind when I think of her. She began her career with Sonny Bono, with whom she had a great and tempestuous relationship.

Cher dropped out of high school at 16 and relocated to LA, where the couple met. Her acting classes and career supported her. She sang great.

Cher’s son Chaz Bono worked as an assistant to famed record producer Phil Spector, when Sonny was 11 years older. Soon, the two clicked.
