first of many Margaret Cho excerpts
"In times of trouble, I have always counted on my women and, of
course, my gay men to get me by. I thrive on female energy, whether
it comes from a woman or a man, and I am not able to function
without it.
In the end, women and gay men understand longing and loss, and
the pull of the physical body against the weight of societal demands.
We are all witches and shape-shifters and healers and gods and god-
desses, and we must stay together and join forces to lift each other up."
-Excerpt from "I'm The One That I Want" Margaret Cho's memoir, which happens to be my favorite book.
