Cher Supports Daughter Chaz's Sex Change
PopEater
posted: 4 HOURS 37 MINUTES AGO

Marking the first public statement since her daughter Chastity Bono – now Chaz Bono -- announced that she was undergoing a sex change, Cher is coming out to lend words of support for her daughter.
Cher says that Chaz is going through "a difficult journey, but one that I will support," and says that she respects "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," in a statement to UsMagazine.com.

Cher continued with kind words for her daughter, saying that her support is infinite.
"The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child," Cher said in the statement.
TMZ was the first to report that Chaz Bono was undergoing a sex change from female to male. "Yes, it's true -- Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity," Bono's publicist Howard Bragman told TMZ.
"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago," Bragman continued.

@raphjd:

This is in Aberdeen where I live, but I only heard about it from another forum as none of the UK media seemed to talk about it, until this weekend when vote happened.

I regard it as a sign of progress that this ordainment was not news in Scotland. It should not be news anywhere.

Gay bishops, gay priests, gay presidents, gay prime ministers, and gay people of all sorts should be no more remarkable for being gay than for being left-handed.

Bravo for bringing this to our attention. I'd have to say monks should probably be a bit less flamboyant, it just isn't monk-like!

I don't know about other countries, but in the UK, you can get a cheap OEM version of an operating system by buying it with another computer part; ie a new hard drive.

If you need to upgrade your computer anyway, this helps save a bunch of money on the full cost of the operating system.

One would imagine hotels would WANT people to come to them.

An addition to the Review section:

Currently there are only a few Categories/topics in this part of our forum - due to the lack of reviews. If you want to write a review of general interest for all of us and miss a fitting category: Please ask an admin or raphjd to implement a fitting category in our review section. (BTW: there will be some more new categories as well - it's not really public by now only one thing I can already tell: It's about themed movies!)

Thanks for the review, never heard about this game goona check it out.

Thanks for the comparison, i most play grande turismo and NFS, gonna check those out.

Oh, actually I'm using Vivaldi browser - but I have decided to dedicate Opera for porn browsing 😉

Both Opera and Vivaldi as well as Chrome use Chromium project as browser base with Blink engine (developed by Google & Opera).

Chromium project is older than Google, but Chrome is the most "popular" of Chromium/Blink browsers.

It's common for sites to register my browser (Vivaldi or Opera) as Chrome, or more so current Chromium/Blink version that the browser uses 🙂

For me that sounds like scam or blatant lie.

As a first thing: no German court can sentence a foreign ISP to divulge any information.

2nd: there is no real High Court in Germany, the highest court in Germany is the federal constitutinal court - and that is not allowet to accept a claim from a p2p company. So the next highest court (for civil and or criminal law is the "BundesGerichtsHof (BGH)" but they cant take a claim with a the value of £ 500 - that value has to be decided by a "normal" court (Amtsgericht).

3rd: there is already a sentence (of a federeal state's upper court, IIRC Berlin) which allows a state lawyer to dismiss a claim that aims to get a Internet users personal data from an ISP by a criminal claim (only way to get a court order to divulge that information legally) only to start a civil claim from that data.

There seems to be something terribly smelling about such detours.

I can only advise each of our users who gets such letters to search legal advise - please remember - I am not a lawyer and I'm not allowed to give legal advice.

The problem with Schwarzenegger is that he lives in two worlds: the progressive Hollywood world and the Republican politician world. I think personally he probably supports gay marriage, but he's a Republican. If he wants to advance his political career (as a Republican at least) he has to oppose gay marriage or at least not actively promote it. This is why the Republican party needs to divorce itself from the social conservatives. Arnold is really a Barry Goldwater style Republican, but he has to carry water for the social conservatives in order to stay respected in Republican circles.

Actually I don't think he supported Prop 8 (see hxxp://www.news10.net/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=50304). I seem to remember after the court decision came down allowing gay marriage, that he said he would not support or get involved with any attempts to amend the California constitution to outlaw gay marriage. I think he figured since the court made the decision he was home free: his fellow Republicans couldn't blame him for allowing gay marriage in California, but he also got to take credit among supporters of gay rights for not opposing the court decision. Prop 8 passing is probably a bit of a nightmare for him actually. A lot of angry people are going to remember his inaction and lukewarm support for the gay marriage efforts and vote accordingly next time he's up for reelection. That's why he wants the Supreme Court to overturn it.

It should be noted that, like every President, Obama will get to pick his own Joint Chiefs of Staff.

He can either choose bigots or fair minded people.

There are some inherent problems with this though;

1. As it stands now, we can't even get enough bone marrow for people with Leukemia.

2. The average cost for a simple bone marrow transplant is $250,000. Imagine how much this specialized type of bone marrow transplant is going to cost.

3. The vast majority of AIDS patients are in the poorest regions, so they will be flooding western countries to get treatment on backs of the taxpayers in these countries.

Hey Raphjd

Fortunately this never went ahead, but is back on the cards now with our Prime Minister attempting to force this on us without our consent via signing the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) which among several economic blows it will bring to this beautiful country, will also mandate ISP level filtering, effectively achieving their goal by completely sidestepping the fact that a government is meant to be "by the people, for the people" in fact by signing this agreement he will be enforcing the filtering without even consulting the Australian Legislature. A very crafty move in my opinion.

It is bad enough that the government of all western cultures already actively force their ISPs to provide the web history of their customers upon request, and then share them with each other, which can only create a climate of fear just because you are a different sexuality, I am not looking forward to the day when the content police come knocking on my door for being a bisexual, But now they are threatening to take away my access to content as well

Anyway, sorry to revive a thread that is long dead, I just think more people should be aware of and be outraged by what the government is doing in this country. And yet i can't help but feel that we are only seeing the beginning of things to come.

@trukr:

When I was 18 an eye surgeon who I was seeing for corrective surgery tried to pick up on me. Flirting, getting closer than he had to, and he rubbed his cock against my knee few times…Can you guess what he invited me over to watch?  ::) :laugh: I stayed home. 👼

Why?! 😄

@Hobbestails:

Hahha looks like I'm zombie-ing this thread. Top Gun is an inferior movie though… go watch Airplane. Not as gay but really more fun. "Do you like Gladiator movies?"

SPARTACUS.

I am embarrassed to be a catholic, even if not practicing (I didn't chose to be one too)  ::)

It looks like reason, logic doesn't go with religion. At least this one

Democrats Cheated. PERIOD. It's time to take the vote to the legislatures. Trump won, you lost. You're sick people.
