Chaz Bono put on his cha-cha heels for some fancy footwork with Lacey Schwimmer on his Dancing With The Stars debut last night. He gets huge bonus points for mentioning his transgender identity right off the bat. And even though he seemed more focused on nailing his moves rather than making sparks fly with Schwimmer, he still shined—he even brought one audience member to tears. YES! When your cha-cha causes a woman to break down and cry, you know you’ve done a helluva job.

Have all of you gone to abc and voted to keep him in? I gave him all my votes.

Go Chaz Go!
He’s obviously been working hard on his dance moves, and it shows.
And Carson has that whole razzle dazzle thing down to a science.

To think that gay culture has gone from Nureyev to Bono.
