Margaret Cho is Spectacularly Unfunny (and not for the reasons you'd believe I'd have)!
Maybe it was a bad thought for me to move see Margaret Cho this past Saturday in Boston. I’m as straight and white and Catholic as they come, and I’ve been told by people who follow her closer than I do that she’s gotten, shall we say, more “polarized” since the last time I saw her about ten years ago. But I figured, “Hey, I’m reasonably open-minded, I can receive a bit of flak, and **the Miss ** wants to go, so why not?”
So off we went. Yes, I was in the distinct minority, owing to my straightness if not my whiteness, maleness, or Catholicism. But so what? Wasn’t the first time, won’t be the last, no beer allowed in your seat, keep your feet off the seatbacks in front of you, here we go.
I certainly wasn’t surprised when she came out with ten minutes of “New Pope Bad.” For her audience, His Holiness is a pretty excellent target for a lot of reasons. And his vestments certainly do glance like a dress, and they’re very ornate, and he does hang around with a lot of men, and he does own a lot of antiques (the Chruch does, but for the purposes of the routine, sure, he does).

"I'm married to a man but I'm bisexual so I like both," Cho told the ladies of "The Real" this week about her decade-long marriage to musician Al Ridenour. "We got together because ... we both have this [idea], 'I just don't want to possess sex with the same person my whole life. That's just gross.'"
She went on to explain how the partnership works, exposing that her other is with other women and that she doesn't obtain jealous. While she doesn't usually reach home to detect other women, she said she has been in the house while he was off with someone else.
"We have a really big house," she said. "It's gentle of like if we wanna contain that, it's fancy , 'You can linger on your side or I'll wait on my side.' When I watch her, I'll build her dinner. ... Oh yeah. I've definitely been in the house."
The "Real" hosts also broached a well-liked topic: Why during a stand-up block in Australia in April did Cho make comments that outed John Travolata as gay?

Margaret Cho got an especially early launch celebrating Pride.
Thanks to a childhood spent in the middle of San Francisco’s gayest neighborhood -- growing up in her parents' male lover book store, no less -- the outspoken comedian was partaking in the city’s annual bash recognizing the LGBTQ community before she was even a teen. Now, nearly four decades later, she attends Prides around the planet each year, often serving as grand marshal and “riding in cars driven by old, very butch diesel dyke types who long to show off their custom cars.”
In honor of Identity festival Month, HuffPost recently phoned Cho to chat about her earliest Pride memories, why she thinks the controversial corporate takeover of some events might not be such a bad thing and the challenges she continues to meet as a bisexual.
When and how did you first see that you were queer? Is there one particular moment or experience that stands out to you?
I think it was something that I just nice of knew — that there was something different in the sense of not belonging — and not really understanding why. It was this feeling of “I don’t get everything.” And there was this distrust of the other girls around me. They made
