November 16, 2008. Last year, MediaTakeOut.com was the first news source in the world to tell you that comedian Wanda Sykes was an open lesbian. At the time many questioned our reporting. Well ... yesterday Wanda publicly acknowledged that she's gay.Here's how the AP is reporting it:THE ACTRESS,COMEDIAN STATED;
"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," Sykes told a crowd at a gay rights rally in Las Vegas on Saturday."Everybody that knows me personally they know I'm gay. But that's the way people should be able to live their lives," she said.Sykes, who is known for her feisty and blunt style, said the passage of California's Proposition 8 made her feel like she was "attacked.""Now, I gotta get in their face," she said. "I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay."
WELL, I SAY TO EACH ITS OWN! SEXUALITY IS A VERY PRIVATE THING AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE BROADCAST, UNLESS YOU WANT IT THAT WAY. I THINK WANDA SKYES IS HILARIOUS AND VERY INTELLIGENT ALSO THE MOVIES SHE HAS CO-STARED IN, HAS ALL BEEN HITS SO "NOT FOR NOTHING" SHE'S HANDLING HER BUSINESS AS AN COMEDIAN AND ACTRESS, SO IN MY OPINION HER PRIVATE LIFE IS HER OWN. I PERSONALLY VOTE "NO" ON PROPOSITION 8 AS WELL, AND SUPPORT HER IN THIS FIGHT.
KUDOS WANDA SYKES, (FOR STANDING UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN!)
