Both Cher and her transgender daughter Chaz Bono publicly support same-sex marriage.

Elvis didn't have an affair with Cher, but he respected her talents.

Her father was Armenian, and her mother is of French descent.

One time years ago she said her father was turkish. Also during an interview with Barbara Walters she said her father was not close to her and that he had serious drug related issues; that she stopped seeing him when she found out that a photo of her and Chastity she had given to him as a token of love and reconciliation had been sold or pounded for money? somewhere.. and of course that did hurt her very much.

Cher is American (and ethnically Armenian)
