Margaret Cho, who is known for her controversial comedy routines, shocked audiences when she “outed” former co-star John Travolta during a recent performance in Australia. Cho, who worked with the actor during the filming of the 1997 action thriller Face/Off, labelled Travolta as “gay” several times throughout her routine. “I’m going to get in trouble but I’ll just tell you. He is so gay. John Travolta is so gay,” she told the crowd. “He’s not just gay. He doesn’t just like men. He is Oscar Wilde gay…like Lord Byron gay.” Cho, who is openly bisexual herself, described her experience working with Travolta: “He was so pampered and so taken care of, it was the closest I have ever been to being in the presence of a king…or queen, actually.” The gay rights activist concluded her rant with, “But I felt bad for him because he was so gay and couldn’t be out about it.” Travolta, who is married to Kelly Preston, was accused of sexual harassing several men recently. Two lawsuits were filed by male masseurs last year, but were eventually dropped. ~Rebecca Raveendran
