yeah you are!

I just finished watching Margaret Cho's "Beautiful" (which is awesome by the way). While most of her jokes get right down and dir-taay, they are littered with seeds of truth and wisdom about sexuality and being female. And its her honesty that makes her so damn funny! When she's tellin' it like it is, she never shies away from the political roots that shape our culture. You are left with an important and empowering message after the hilariousness wears off:

"We gotta compliment ourselves because we get enough shit in the world... I think its very important to feel beautiful. I think its very political to feel beautiful. Especially if you're queer; because if you're queer you have to take on the world every single day of your life and you have to feel beautiful to survive. And you are so beautiful!!!"
