Sonny Bono and Cher had a daughter Chastity forty years ago, and we all watched as they brought that adorable little girl on to their TV show. Then, the world radically transformed, as did the happy Bono family. We affluent people in "developed" countries got all kinds of choices.
Sonny and Cher split up. He became a conservative Republican congressman. She became a hot babe of a performer, and she continues on that path at age 63. Their daughter Chastity came out as a lesbian and an advocate for gay rights.
Now, Chastity has decided to become a man named Chaz. Who would have thought it possible that that cute little girl born to our fairy tale celebrities would someday grow up to be a guy? And I wonder what conservative Sonny would have thought about his daughter's newfound persona.
In any case, the beat goes on as we continue to witness the privileged minority given amazing choices while the majority of the people on the planet suffer. Those starving masses go without food or clean water or decent shelter, and the United States continues to devote the majority of its resources to killing other people.
Chastity Bono today
