Margaret Cho is a wonderful human being.

What is to be admired the most about her? Yes, she is hilarious. However, more important is how she uses comedy to preach against the sins of racism and heterosexism.

God bless Margaret Cho.

20. elshiva's definition of heterosexism

Heterosexism: A social sin, that is a sin carried out by a society as an affront to God and Creation, which promotes the HATEFUL LIE that "heterosexuality is the norm and anything non-heterosexual is abnormal or perverted." Produces immoral laws that discriminate against GLBT human beings (who are made in the image of an all-loving God) especially in regards to employment and marriage. The only way to repentance is through passing pro-GLBT laws and the show of full respect on the part of heterosexuals to GLBT. Until then every time a gay is bash, Christ is crucified again.


Margaret Cho is a great believer in the dignity of GLBT people. Sample comments: "How are you go to win a war without lesbians? Who's going to read the map?" "I just know they're (deceased Drag Queen Friends) watching me from that big Max Factor Counter in the Sky."

God's blessings!

3. Damn, that woman is funny!

I also like that her humor as of late has become very political and she's not afraid to rip into the current Administration. I saw her live a couple of years ago, and she was just incredible! My favorite joke from that routine:

"Bush is so screwed that I just want to buy him some poppers and Crisco."

:rofl:

You gotta love a strong woman who is not afraid to speak her mind.

Oh, and her bit that she does about Gwen is HILARIOUS!!!

5. I have always found her very funny

and quite hot! :9

6. I'll be seeing her tonight!

The HRC sponsored "True Colors" show is in Chicago tonight. Margaret Cho hosting, with Cyndi Lauper, Deborah Harry, Erasure, among others!

And I agree with you...she wonderfully uses comedy to combat racism, sexism, homophobia.

7. She gave me the biggest laugh I've ever had in my life

It happend right around the time she said "My name is Gwen, and I'm here to wash your vaginia".

The other interesting thing that happened that night was, Joan Rivers was in the audience, and had her soul bathed with Margaret's story of how trying to be thin almost killed her. I don't know if the effects lasted for five minutes afterward, but for 2 hours Joan had to listen to the truth.

15. She is good

I agree with her pretty much 100%

[philosophie_en_rose]

17. Oh she's just amazing.

She's hilarious and shocking. I think we have the same secret-pervert mother, too. :)

I especially like her blog and her diet advice. The "fuck it" diet, which is not what you're thinking (perv). It just means that you eat only what you really like. No eating leftovers or bits you don't like. Works for me. :)
