Feature Profile: Margaret Cho - Reality Strikes

Margaret Cho is, quite simply, a living icon of the stand-up comedy world. More than a comedian and entertainer, the San Francisco native is a strong-voiced activist for womens’ rights and the rights of gays and lesbians.

Even the helplessly drunk and the terminally jaded spring instantly to attention. The 42-year-old Moore, you see, is gay. Nearly eight years ago, he tested positive for HIV. Since then he has watched
