"Last year, I got a script for a pilot script for a show that I really loved, but it shot in Canada and I was so scared because I'm so vocal about hating ICE and hating this administration,"
"I was like, I will get detained at the border and I will be put in ICE detention if I go, and I was struggling over it. I had to talk to all these people about it and I was super upset, and I said no,"
"I watched it. I hosted some rewatch parties and it kills me. Like, it kills me, and it's all because of Trump."
"It's so terrifying to be a queer person. It's f****** scary to live in a queer body, live a queer life in the world that we live in."
Margaret Cho, a bisexual comedian and actress, said she turned down a role in the queer series Heated Rivalry. She explained that the pilot was shot in Canada and that she was afraid she would be detained by ICE when entering the United States because she is outspoken against ICE and the Trump administration. She described being upset and having to discuss the decision with others before saying no. She later watched the series, hosted rewatch parties, and said it was painful that the situation was tied to Trump. She also said she asked about appearing in season two and would see. Cho also described queer life as terrifying and said horror can help people rehearse fear safely.
