The famously blunt and unapologetic comedian Margaret Cho will headline at the San Diego Pride Festival this year, taking the main stage at Marston Point in Balboa Park on July 16, 2011 as the final act in a full-day performance roster.
Cho, who recently appeared on season 11 of Dancing with the Stars and is gearing up for a U.K. tour touting her 2011 Grammy-nominated comedy album, Cho Dependent, has long endeared herself to the LGBT community thanks to her fierce stance against homophobia, anti-gay political movements and LGBT bullying.
A professional comedian for nearly 20 years, Cho got her start on late-night television and made it big with hits like her 1999 Broadway show, I’m The One That I Want and the 2008 VHI series The Cho Show.
Tickets for San Diego Pride are $15 a day or $25 for a two-day ticket if purchased before June 30, and $20-$30 thereafter. Find out more about the festival at www.SanDiegoPride.org.
So why on earth wouldn’t they get Adam Lambert, a San Diego born who dared to stay true to who he was, out and proud Gay before he tried to make it in the music industry and was the first one to be signed to a recording contract! He inpires millions of his fans, has helped so many and is mega talented, he stands up to the hate he recieves on a daily basis for his sexual orientation but remains positive spreading love whereever he goes! Yes, I am a fan of Adam’s for good reason, he has inspired me to love everyone and stay positive, he has really changed the way I look at people and myself, he does so much for so many and always seems to be forgotten when in fact he should be glorified!! Love Margaret too, BTW!!
