Cher And David Letterman Discuss Her Son Chaz Bono's Transition

They both stumbled repeatedly over their pronouns, but last night Cher and David Letterman had a frank discussion about Chaz's transition and what the difference is between being gay and being transgender. Cher's loving support is amply evident and Letterman's questions and comments show that perhaps he learned something after being widely criticized for an anti-trans skit early this year. Let's hope the language police aren't too hard on either of them for their his/her missteps. Context, and all that. The bit about Chaz begins at 12:30 in the first clip and continues through the second. (Note that these clips are not from CBS and may disappear from YouTube.)
