I love the gays! I first came onto the scene with ‘Kathy & Mo’, and so much of our content was about gay rights, civil rights, women’s rights—freedom and respect and liberation for all.
We had a huge gay audience for ‘Kathy & Mo’, and then it just got a little bigger with the kinds of films that I was doing [laughs].
I’m also a keynote speaker, and I’ve been very fortunate to be able to do lots of speeches around LGBTQ+ [rights] and AIDS.…I worked on gay marriage rights for so long, and it was such a pleasure and honor to work on that.
When we finally got it, I was doing a gay marriage monologue on ‘The Kathy & Mo Show’, and I just burst out crying. And now, we have the threat of losing the ability for two humans who love each other to get married.
