Margaret Cho’s mom used magazine called Ass Master to teach daughter about gay people
It’s hard to believe that comic Margaret Cho wasn’t always an expert on all things gay.
But when she was around 7 or 8, she knew nothing.
It was her mother, who is so often imitated in her act, who decided to teach her daughter about gay people. Since the family operated a bookstore in San Francisco, the mother grabbed a gay porn magazine called Ass Master to help with her explanation.
‘She was really just trying to explain to me what gay people were like, because she didn’t know that I knew about gay people,’ Cho said Wednesday (23 September) on HuffPost Live.
‘So she wanted to explain to me gay people, and she had a visual aid. … She was really shocked by it, but at the same time trying to explain gay people so that I wouldn’t be alarmed.’
All these years later, Cho thinks her mom did the right thing at the right time.
‘I didn’t know anything then and was young enough to not understand sexuality and that kind of sexuality, so it was very enlightening,’
Cho made her third appearance on the E! show Fashion Police earlier this week and has proved to be an audience favorite. Her latest stand-up special, Margaret Cho: psyCHO premieres on Showtime on Friday (25 September).
