Wanda Sykes is Gay and Married

Posted Nov 17 via Yeeeah Nov 17, 08

Comedienne Wanda Dykes Sykes officially came out of the closet on Saturday, revealing that she married her long-time partner shortly before the passage of Proposition 8 banning gay marriage in the state of California. She said (via E! Online):

You know, I don't really talk about my sexual orientation. I didn't feel like I had to. I was just living my life, not necessarily in the closet, but I was living my life.

[But then] I got pissed off. They pissed me off. I said, ‘You know what? Now I gotta get in your face.' And that's what we all have to do now. They pissed off the wrong group of people. They have galvanized a community… Instead of having gay marriage in California, we're going to get it across the country.'

When my wife and I leave California, I want to have my marriage also recognized in Nevada, in Arizona, all the way to New York. How can you stop people from loving each other? I am proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman and I'm proud to be gay.'

What was that? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. I was busy trying to bury the image of Wanda Sykes muff-diving some be-flanneled she-beast somewhere deep in my subconscious. I'm sure there's still room in there between 'summer camp with Father O'Houlian'' and 'that time in high school when I found my mom's dildo.'

Speaking of she-beasts, here's Kim Kardashian with sister Kourtney and that dumb twat from 'Laguna Beach' in Miami this weekend:
