Wow! Too cool! I have always liked the wonderfully brash comedian Wanda Sykes. I am so proud that she took the step of being open and honest. Yay for people who stand up for the truth and love!
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 KNEW THERE WAS A REASON I REALLY LIKE HER! Seriously, everytime I saw her on a show or whatever, I'd say to Janice, You know, I really like her. It got so bad that soon as she would come on the screen, Jan would say...I know...you really like her! Nothing wrong with my gaydar! Right Jody?
