Margaret Cho on Kim Davis: ‘She’s so gross’
Margaret Cho has vowed to marry one same-sex couple at every stop of The psyCHO Tour which kicks off on 1 October.
So far, there are no tour stops in Kentucky where Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis has been fighting the issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of her religious beliefs.
‘She’s so gross,’ Cho says of Davis in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter posted on Friday (25 September).
‘I don’t understand — she acts like she’s some kind of freedom fighter, as if she deserves some sort of accolade for not upholding the Constitution and breaking the law.’
Davis served five days in a Kentucky jail earlier this month for defying a federal court order that she not interfere with the licenses being issued.
Upon her release, Davis was greeted by a rally organized by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and attended by US Senator Ted Cruz.
‘It’s really insulting to the heroic people who have gone to prison for their beliefs,’ Cho said of the spectacle.
Among the stops on Cho’s comedy tour is San Francisco where she will play two shows on 15 October at The Castro Theatre.
She will be performing marriages in the city where she officiated her first ceremonies back in 2008. Back then, she performed marriages inside San Francisco City Hall which is where the late civil rights leader Harvey Milk was murdered 27 years ago.
Says Cho: ‘It’s a place where literally the most tragic event of gay politics happened, so to go back there and celebrate marriage equality there was such a triumph, and I wanted to bring a bit of that energy to these shows.’
