Follow-Up: Media Gets It Right 2

Previous post: Media Finally Gets One Right

Seriously, every member of Alphabet Soup (LGBTQRXYZ) needs to have a mom like this: Cher defends son Chaz against critics.

Source: Yahoo!

My favorite:
"Mothers don't stop Getting angry with stupid bigots who (mess) with their children!" the 65-year-old singer wrote.

Awesome. So full of win. WTG Cher for being probably the most famous parent of a trans person, and what a time for it! Just when news can travel around the world in a heartbeat, this woman has the opportunity to show how powerful love can be.

Don't mess with my kid. What an incredibly powerful statement, and one that cuts across all borders, all political, religious, economic divisions. Don't mess with my kid, and instantly every mother can relate. Bravo, Cher! And nicely done, Chaz!

Remind your kids to be tolerant of one another when you send them off to school. Practice a little more compassion in your life, because at heart, we all want the same things: don't mess with our children.
