Hello Margaret,
I’ve been a fan of yours for years. I watched “I’m the One That I Want†as a young closeted gay boy when I was in middle school. You were one of the first people I ever heard say it was OKAY to be gay! My brother told me once before I came out that “if I was gay I wasn’t a Makridis anymore.” Hearing that devastated me because I assumed he probably knew I was gay and was saying that trying to change me, as if it were possible. When I heard you speak about gay people in such an adoring manner it made me feel like it wasn’t something so scary and even better it could even be funny. I just finished your book, “I Have Chosen To Stay and Fight.†I found myself truly inspired by the MANY subjects you covered about human rights. (I know you hear that like 143,342 times a day) I thought I would tell you that I’m with you on all of these issues. I would also like to say that it is refreshing to know that someone else holds the same zeal for the whole picture on humans. We are all one! Unlike you I ain’t got no love for some white racist Christian homophobic war hungry I beat my wife asshole redneck white supremacists bitches! I’m coming to see you on May 9th in Davis with my boyfriend. We’re so excited. I would really love to be your friend!!! I know you’re a terribly busy person but I think that we have A LOT in common. I promise I’m not some crazy celebrity stalker. I also thought that I’d tell you I think you’re much cooler than Madonna or Meagan Mullally, they are both talented but cant “chow like cho”, haha. Anyways, I’ll stop rambling…
Love your adoring fan.

PS – Weren’t we all fascinated by David Bowie’s bulge in Labyrinth?!?!?
good for you man… be that gay man we know you can. fuck it. you only live once.
margaret is all about being yourself in the face of assholes who hold you down. if your bro don’t support you, then that’s not any kind of love you want to be a part of. just be you, and anyone who wants anything else is a fake self serving puto!
on the flip side, margaret, just so you know, me and all my homies down south totally dig you dog, don’t stop the good fight. we ARE listening man, we always were.
Two of my favorites! It is possible my head may burst over the fabulosity contained herein. You both look terrific. The last photo is my favorite because you are being all cute and kewpie and he looks very manic and Vincent Price-esque…”Our fair heroine does not realize she shall be dinner for the Parody King!”
I have always had a mad secret crush on Al. I mean, I’m not going to pretend that I have huge lust for the hair that looks like Rolph the Muppet’s ears, but he’s got this really classically handsome face that just makes me gaga. Plus I LOVE the way he responds to illegal downloading! Basically there are a lot of really badly done parody songs out there and in the peer-to-peer illegal downloading world people tend to label them “Weird Al”, but they aren’t. And he gets email from people getting angry for some of the more sexually explicit or offensive ones, and he writes them back saying that maybe if they BOUGHT his music instead of STEALING it they would know that those songs weren’t his. LOVES IT! 😀

Is that Weird Al? He doesn’t look that weird… So when are you going to pose with Dr. Demento?
Si
Ha! I was there at that show!

i love how weird al looks like he hasn’t aged at all… although it looks like he’s had a bit of a chin implant.
and of course margaret looks gorgeous as usual!
