When I started stand-up, almost no one with a national profile was out, and those who were had been closeted for most of their career. Most of the out gay comedians were trying not to scare straight people, go too far, be too smart, or be too much. Then there was Marga Gomez. Shes the best, shes the funniest, she kicked open doors, she didnt apologize, and she looked like a diva while she did it. I get to be who I am onstage because Marga was and is uncompromisingly herself onstage. If you dont know who she is, you should.
