we re joined by chaz s stepmother. we left on a cliff hanger where i had managed to engineer what seemed to be a breaking situation about a potential marriage between the newly male chaz and jennifer. chaz was just saying that you were entitled if you want to, to act as the person that marries them. so the obvious question is would you like to do that? well, piers, i mean, great timing, but first, i want to commend you on being able to really make chaz feel like a man and already put the squeeze on him to hurry up and get this done. but you know, my husband told me something that s very important with marriage, and that is you can be right or you can be happy. and chaz, jenny said a church and i am so deeply honored and flattered that you would suggest me, but i think they need to work this out a little bit further rather than the pressures. i m just deeply honored. chaz has been one of the greatest blessings in my life.
didn t feel i was a woman. seems to me that you ve been using a lot of excuses to avoid taking jennifer down an aisle. and she s made it absolutely crystal clear. right? he s now behaving like a typical man. which in a way the quite comforting. is there a window here that we re talking about? there s no ultimatum. i mean, i m here, we re here. we ve been through a lot. within a year? yeah, it really has not to make excuses but we went through a lot. i transitioned, she went to grad school. then, you know, we were making the film and i wrote the book. i had to get sober again. it was a nightmare. now i feel like once this is over we can sit down and plan a wedding. that will be some wedding, do you think? i hope so. it would be nice. the circumstances would be remarkable, wouldn t it. quite a moment for you two when you stood there. it would be a lot. do you dream of a church wedding? have you ever always thought
different. when did chaz know he was going to be a man. how did he break the news to his mother cher. chaz bono, his first prime time interview. this is piers morgan tonight. chaz bono tells his story in transition, the story of how i became a man and in the documentary becoming chaz which airs on own network. i have to start by saying i watched you on david letterman last night. one of the most amusing encounters i have seen on a talk show in years. he was so uncomfortable. he didn t know how to deal with what you were telling him, the enormity of what you had gone through. what was it like for you when you went on there? i had a really good time. i like dave a lot. i have always been a fan and he has a history with my family. so i wanted to go on the show. he represented a lot of people who really don t know about this
didn t feel right to me to get married as two women because i didn t feel i was a woman. seems to me that you ve been using a lot of excuses to avoid taking jennifer down an aisle. and she s made it absolutely crystal clear. right? he s now behaving like a typical man. which in a way the quite comforting. is there a window here that we re talking about? there s no ultimatum. i mean, i m here, we re here. we ve been through a lot. within a year? yeah, it really has not to make excuses but we went through a lot. i transitioned, she went to grad school. then, you know, we were making the film and i wrote the book. i had to get sober again. it was a nightmare. now i feel like once this is over we can sit down and plan a wedding. that will be some wedding, do you think? i hope so. it would be nice. the circumstances would be
would kind of pursue that. and then go on a date or something and be like, this feels this is absurd. i feel ridiculous. and i don t want to be intimate with this person at all, but i really like him in a special way. and it was like i was having bromances before i realized i was a guy. you had sex once with a guy. once, yes. what was the experience like? just kind of bland, really. i mean, it wasn t like a horrific dramatic experience in any way. it was just like why did you do that? to prove to yourself that you no, it wasn t, no. it was kind of immature, but i was only 16 at the time. so many people would say to me, because i was out to my friends and everything. and people when i would tell them, how do you know? you ve never been with a man. and so i wanted to do it so i could say i ve done it. i know. so you get to your late teens. you now assume that you re a lesbian. right. what is that like for you?
