Margaret Cho danced in a rainbow fringe dress Monday on Dancing With the Stars, in a performance designed to bring awareness to the problem of LGBT youth suicides.

Cho and partner Louis van Amstel danced to the "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow. Although she received low marks for her dancing, the comedian focused on her message.

"Our story is serious," she said the performance. "We wanted to celebrate pride. We wanted to show ourselves off. It's a tough time for the gay community. A lot of gay teenagers have committed suicide, so we want this to end now!"

Watch Cho perform on Dancing With the Stars.
