Margaret Cho talks about her straight marriage and queer sexuality
Margaret Cho says her sexuality is more political than personal. The comedian explained her sexual politics in an interview with Edward Lewine for the “New York Times Magazine” this way:
“I refer to myself as gay, but I am married to a man. Of course, I’ve had relationships with women, but my politics are more queer than my lifestyle.”
Cho has had relationships with both men and women and talked about them openly in her routines.
“If it were not for gay men, I would not talk to men at all…I am heterophobic,” said Cho in her comedy special “I’m the One That I Want” of her childhood growing up in San Francisco in the 70s and 80s with gay men and drag queens.
She married artist/writer/straight man Al Ridenour in 2003, but their marriage isn’t a typical one
“It’s not a traditional situation. It’s not a committed marriage. We’re just friends who share space. My parents don’t understand it. They just send us Yahoo E-cards wishing us well.”
