The article first summarizes the "bold" placing of Chaz Bono in Dancing with the Stars, and how multiple online groups are petitioning against it. The article refers to Chaz as, "evoking the image of a bowling ball balanced on toothpicks" which is not necessarily wrong. However, the article mentions Onemillionmoms.com, they believe that the presence of Chaz is confusing for children. Sure it might be "confusing" for children, but just in the past season the show saw the appearance of unmarried teen mom Bristol Palin and nothing was mentioned. Not only does Onemillionmoms fight against Dancing with the Stars, they have a petition circulating that is aimed at preventing Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie from marriage, though the show has never suggested such was ever going to happen. I like that this article is trying to bring mass media-censorship sites like OMM to a humane and unbiased perspective, though I'm not sure how effective it will be in convincing over-protective moms.
