​Margaret Cho (1968 - )

Known for her stand-up comedy routines, through which she skewers social and political problems, American actor, comedian, musician and activist, Margaret Cho has had a bright career in entertainment with five Emmy and Grammy nominations. Cho’s Korean-American roots in San Francisco have informed her comedy and activism and she has been honored for her work against racism, anti-bullying and gay rights. While she has come out a bisexual, she was given a Lamda Liberty Award for "pressing us to see how false constructions of race, sexuality, and gender operate similarly to obscure and demean identity."
