Melange Lavonne is an African American, female rapper. She is also an openly out lesbian. She describes her music on her MySpace page as “Christian Rap” and also identifies herself as a Christian. The songs on her album, The Movement, touch on real issues that are often not talked about. The album opens with “Gay Bash” in which she outright calls Christians who hate on homosexuals hypocrites. This song brought a smile to my face because everything she said were things that I wish more people would stand up and say.

Last week we interviewed the very talented and out comedienne Bridget McManus in preparation for her much anticipated appearance in Durham, North Carolina on August 22nd at Club Steel Blue. Bridget discussed with us some of her favorite interviews on Brunch with Bridget, what Baby Bridget means to her, lesbian cruises and what the can’t miss sport of the Olympics is!
