Margaret Loves Bears!

Okay, we all know that, as a staunch advocate for the LGBT community, Margaret Cho loves all gays. But she has a particular affinity for bears, the fuller-figured, less-likely to be waxed or plucked, flannel-wearing section of the gay male population.

A few years ago, Margaret began a foray into music, proclaiming, "If Madonna can learn to play the guitar, so can I!" As part of her recently realized musician status, she befriended Jill Sobule, best known for "I Kissed A Girl" -- long before Katy Perry recorded a song by the same name.

Margaret has also been directing music videos for artists she admires. Her latest directorial effort is "The Bear Song" by Pixie Herculon (aka Jill Sobule with a cameo by Margaret herself).

Check out the video! It's a hoot! And please purchase the song on iTunes or Amazon! Spread the word!

And while you're buying music, check out Margaret's dance jam "I Cho Am A Woman."
