Even though Cher had trouble adjusting when Chaz Bono came out as trans, it was only a small obstacle in their relationship. He told The Sun in 2012 that, as time goes on, he believes his mother gets more comfortable with him as Chaz and even runs to his defense when internet trolls pop up. "If I'm taking flak in the Press or people are being mean on Twitter, Cher will jump to my defense," he told the outlet. "She sticks up for me — and what an ally to have. We are developing a new relationship."
That relationship has continued into the new decade because Cher cannot help but gush over her son's accomplishments. When new "Proud Like Chaz" light pole banners popped up in San Diego highlighting Bono's accomplishments, Cher took to Twitter to tweet her praises. She wrote, in part: "So Proud Of Chaz. Was Beyond Excited When I Saw This." The banner reads: "Chaz Bono[.] Writer, musician, and actor. Bono has been a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign and director of GLAAD. Both Chaz and his mother Cher are outspoken LGBT rights activists." We're so glad to see Bono's success shine so brightly with his mother right behind him to cheer him on.
