The hit TV show Dancing with the Stars has gotten into some controversy when it was announced this week that Chaz Bono would be a contestant. Says Digital Spy,

A series of transphobic slurs were posted on ABC’s official message board after Bono was revealed as one of Dancing with the Stars’ latest contestants this week.

Bono’s mother Cher and his Dancing with the Stars partner Lacey Schwimmer have branded the criticism as unfair.

Dancing with the Stars exec Green has weighed in on the controversy, telling The AP: “I hope that a lot of the people who appear to be upset at the moment will give him a chance and maybe realize it’s not quite as bad as they think.”

Green went on to deny claims made by the Culture and Media Institute that Dancing with the Stars is attempting to promote a sexual agenda.

“I think we’ve had three gay or transgender contestants out of about 120 on the show, so what we’re really doing is reflecting some of the make-up of this vast array of people that make up American society,” Green said.

Green also insisted that Bono was not invited to join Dancing with the Stars simply because he’s transgender, adding: “[Bono] comes from Hollywood royalty as a family and is familiar to loads of our audience throughout his life.”

I say let him compete. Not because I support the transgender community–I don’t. I don’t trust anyone who wants to sew up her ladybits and get rid of her boobs. Seriously? Who doesn’t want boobs? ‘Round these parts, that’s more than enough to condemn a person. But if there’s anything worse than a transgendered person, it’s a fat transgendered person. Dance off that fat, freakshow! If you’re going to be a man, than at least be a hot man. There’s plenty enough butterballs already in this world, thankyouverymuch.
