ABC made waves this past week when it announced the line-up for the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars(DWTS). This season will showcase such D-list celebrities as Rob Kardashian - the brother to the famous Kardashian sisters -, Ricki Lake, David Arquette, and Carson Kressley - former Queer Eye for the Straight Guy commentator. However the person causing quite the controversy is political activist and son of superstars Cher and Sonny Bono - Chaz Bono. Chaz was born female but last year decided to take the tremendously courageous step to change his sex and officially change his name. The addition of Chaz to the season's cast has caused families to question if they should continue supporting ABC and DWTS; how will the parents of American ever be able to explain the scary and confusing concept of "transgender" to their children.

Angry conservative individuals, with little or nothing to do with their day, stormed the online ABC message forum to voice their opinion on why including Chaz on the show was a perversion and travesty to the show - many of whom had supported the production for years. Here are a few of the choice comments from the message board courtesy of Jezebel:

"A person who would allow his children to view perversion, to teach them that perversion is normal and acceptable, that is a person who hates his children"

"ABC doesn't know what "family" or "child-friendly" means. Have you ever seen their ABC Family channel? I would never let children watch that homosexual lust fest. It's sickening that they try to promote homosexual lust, portray it as something equal with Christian love. But ABC is owned by Disney, purveyor of homosexual entertainment that makes its money off of children."

Seriously? A homosexual lust fest; I think I attended one of those a few years ago. As someone who frequently watches the ABC Family channel there is nothing even remotely close to resembling a homosexual lust fest. Most of the programming involves privileged white girls keeping secrets or lying in some capacity, having babies and getting married at ridiculously young ages. If anything, their programming is some subversive heterosexist agenda to glorify teen marriage and parenthood. Hmm, I can't deny that Disney is a purveyor of homosexual entertainment ... shall we just examine High School Musical?

I didn't realize that ABC was the pinnacle model of virtue and morality in America. So many of the past DWTS cast members have been outstanding members of society. Many parents are concerned having to explain "transgender-identified" individuals ... I am concerned about having to explain everything else. How do I explain the idea of "sex tapes" and not using sex to bolster one's career or self-image after Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson were on the show? How do I explain unplanned pregnancy and teenage motherhood to my child after Bristol Palin was on the show; "no honey, Bristol is not a role model, but hypocritical tramp who made a mistake, but mommy is not a governor of a state ... or has a real vagina. so I won't be able  bail you out of problem should you get pregnant". 

****NEWSFLASH INDIVIDUALS**** Simply having someone who is transgender one your show is in no way FLAUNTING the "preverse" transgender lifestyle to the impressionable youth of American ... oh and btw I work with the youth of America ... they are not that impressionable. ****

All I know, is that the opposition has gotten so loud that they have dragged the one and only Miss Cher into the battle, and Cher is not pleased that people are being assholes to her son - full article here. At this point ... give up ... Cher is a hundred year old Cyborg from the future that has been sent back to save the world from general unfabulousness. I would not want to go toe-to-toe with Cher. I would be afraid it would be the start of Transformers 4: Gypsies, Tramps and Robotic Superstars. 

I just really hope that people don't watch this season for the express purposes of watching Chaz getting kicked off. I hope he makes it all the way to the end and sticks it to those fuckers.
