Margaret Rocks The Capitol

The fight for gay marriage continues, and Margaret Cho is at the forefront. Today, our gal joined nearly 5,000 protesters on the steps of the state capitol in Sacramento, California. Along with attorney and activist Gloria Allred, Margaret lent her voice to the cause. She sang a song she wrote called "Shove Proposition 8 Up Their Ass!"

Of course, being a news outlet, the Sacramento ABC site bleeped and blurred a few words. You can watch their clip here.

Last Saturday, November 15, Margaret appeared in Cincinnati, Ohio at one of many rallies held simultaneously across the country. Here is her speech along with the song, unedited. And in the rain, no less!

Visalia NO on Prop 8 Rally

Last night I participated in a No on Prop 8 rally, which was a great success. I got to meet and talk to some wonderful people. There was news coverage on the Fresno ABC (click to watch) and FOX stations. Contrary to news reports, there were approximately 100 people who turned out to show their support for equality!

Fighting the Yes Campaign's Lies

Undoubtedly many of you have seen the commercials put out by the Yes on Prop 8 campaign. They resort to outright lies about churches and schools in order to get people up in arms and scare them into voting to legislate descrimination.

Unfortunately, the No on Prop 8 campaign doesn't have as much funds as the Yes campaign does. This is why we haven't seen No commercials on TV to counteract the deception of the Yes commercials.

Today, the No campaign released this PSA to fight all the misinformation out there. Watch now, and pass it on to everyone you know!



Also, Ellen DeGeneres, who recently married her partner Portia de Rossi, made a NO on Prop 8 PSA. Check it out!

Margaret Cho & HRC Fight Prop 8

Margaret Cho, BFF to gays everywhere, has filmed a great PSA urging people to vote NO on Proposition 8. Her "The Cho Show" sidekick Selene Luna is by her side, starring as her neighbor. Watch it now!


Margaret was sick as a dog when she shot this a couple of weeks ago, but wanted to show her support of the community that supports her. Once again, she is going above and beyond, giving so generously of her time and effort to ensure that all of us have equal rights in this important matter.

Also, the Human Rights Campaign is DOUBLING every donation made today (up to $120,000) to fight Prop 8. Go here and donate TODAY: hrc.org.

Blake & Cho are Voting No, Shouldn't You?

I'm probably preaching to the choir here, since most of the people reading this are my friends, but I hope you all will Vote No on Prop 8! California's Proposition 8 aims to reverse the ruling earlier this year which allows same sex couples to marry.



I am not a very political person, and I usually don't talk much about politics or religion. I avoid arguments and confrontation whenever I can because I don't enjoy them. I was never on the debate team. Hell, I don't even know if my school had a debate team when I was there!


This week, Margaret Cho is hosting Equalipalooza, a benefit to defeat Proposition 8. The event is being held Wednesday, October 15 at 8pm in San Francisco. If I were closer and/or it wasn't being held on a week night, I'd certainly try to go. But if any of you are close enough, I'd encourage you to go and show your support!
