Butch dyke comic Delaria boasts new album, roasts Ellen
By Jeff Walsh

Since coming out two years ago, Jesse Costello-Good has definitely put the 'active' in activism.

We both wished each other luck on our projects and I didn't think twice about it. A few weeks later, I got this hot, glossy magazine in the mail and immediately noted that I should have found time -- just to be a part of the first issue of something I knew was going to be big.
