BREAKING: Wanda Sykes Comes Out


Wanda Sykes, who was already semi-out, made it official today at an anti Prop 8 rally.

From The New York Times:

In Las Vegas, the comedian Wanda Sykes surprised a crowd of more than 1,000 rallying outside a gay community center by announcing that she is gay and had wed her wife in California on Oct. 25. Ms. Sykes, who divorced her husband of seven years in 1998, had never publicly discussed her sexual orientation but said the passage of Proposition 8 had propelled her to be open about it.

“I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked — our community was attacked,” she told the crowd.


I LOVE Wanda, and I'm glad she has officially joined The Family.
