Actress comedienne Margaret Cho and her co-star Selene Luna will be participate in the March on Sacramento rally in support of equal marriages rights this Saturday at the State Capitol. Cho and Luna have been vocal on their support of equal rights, recording a PSA for No on 8; and Cho, an outspoken and very funny supporter of the LGBT community, has blogged and spoken extensively on Prop 8.

Last Saturday, while in Cincinnati, Cho spoke at the city’s equal marriage rights rally and performed a song she wrote just for the occasion–which was pretty cool and brave considering she’d just learned to play the guitar a few days earlier. The lyrics are NSFW, so click the ling to the video at your own peril–it’s designed put the Mormon’s panties in a bunch.

Also joining the marchers will be attorney Gloria Allred, who represents some of the couples in the current case as well as the in May 2008 cases heard before the Supreme Court; West Hollywood Mayor John Duran; Stuart Gaffney and John Lewis from Marriage Equality USA; Brad Wright, PFLAG Board Member and many others. The event is being organized by Los Angeles-based California Outreach and Sacramento-based Equality Action Now.

It’s easy to get to the California state capitol, so come on out to Sac’to!  And on the way there keep Margaret’s words in mind:

Think about how far we’ve come in our community…We are here, we are queer, we are here forever and we are gonna win this right.
