Just days after the official cast for the new season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars was announced, the network has been flooded with transphobic and homophobic complaints for including transgender celebrity, Chaz Bono. Out of a celebrity cast that boasts Ricki Lake, Ron Artest, Kristin Cavallari, David Arquette, out former Queer Eye star star Carson Kressley, and Nancy Grace, most of the comments on ABC’s message boards were about Bono, the only child of Cher and Sonny Bono, who underwent surgery and legally changed his gender and name last year. And the comments are revealing an ugly prejudice in the large fan base of the hit show.

Chaz Bono confirms speculation that his mother Cher and stepmother Mary Bono Mack will both in the audience to watch him compete on tonight's Dancing With The Stars. Bono reveals his mother texted him just before last Monday's show, saying, "I wanted people to be able to feel your presence and not take away from that and I think you’ve made your presence known now."
Margaret Cho may have been eliminated as a Dancing with the Stars contestant due to a rainbow-colored costume she wore that judges referred to as a gay pride dress, according to her TV partner Louis van Amstel. DWTS judge Bruno Tonioli referred to Cho's costume as a "gay pride rainbow dress," and judge Carrie Ann Inaba added that the show had gone gay, while Cho called it the gayest thing that's ever happened on the competition program. Seriously though, is DWTS that unaware of its gay sensibility?

Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer were eliminated from Dancing With The Stars last night, and despite "disrespectful" comments from judges, Bono says he isn't leaving the show "bitter or angry."
Chaz Bono and Dancing With The Stars partner Lacey Schwimmer respond to judges comparing Bono to an animal and a Star Wars character. It was a dramatic evening on the ABC competition series, which paid tribute to Broadway musicals. After their Phantom of the Opera-inspired tango, judge Bruno Tonioli said Bono was like "a cute little penguin trying to be a big menacing bird of prey." Tonioli has also compared Bono to an Ewok.
Whew! The American Psychiatric Association says it's OK for children to watch Chaz Bono compete on ABC's Dancing With the Stars. John M. Oldham, M.D., who is the APA President, acknowledges that Gender Identity Disorder is a psychiatric disorder, but tells TMZ, "There is no evidence that viewing a television game show with a transgender contestant would induce Gender Identity Disorder in young people."
‘I like gays,’ said Bristol Palin at a Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) panel at the Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour. "I'm not a homophobic and I'm so sick of people saying that. Just because I'm for traditional marriage doesn't really mean I'm scared or anything of anyone else, and I don't hate anybody,” Palin said,
There is a moment in just about every workday when we come across something sexy, gratuitous and completely pointless that we wish we could post but don't under the auspices of there being nothing lesbian about it and often there being no redeeming valueAll trans and homophobic comments aside, the just-released official cast photographs for Dancing With The Stars of Chaz Bono and pro partner Lacey Schwimmer look hot!
