Cher Speaks Out About Daughter's Sex Change

Cher is speaking out for the first time about her daughter Chastity Bono‘s decision to become her son Chaz.

The 63-year-old pop diva tells People, “Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support. I respect the courage it takes to go through this transition in the glare of public scrutiny, and although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding. The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child.”

Last week, news of Chaz‘s gender reassignment process broke.
