Did anyone see the bit in her stand up act where she was spoofing the Bachelorette with her own version called

"Who Wants to Marry this Bitch?". So funny.

I'm pretty sure Wanda has been out for months if not years. But then again I'm a big old 'mo with Afterellen's blog on my Google Reader so it *might* not be household news.

@Frances Houseman: If you listen to her speech, she was quietly but not publicly out. Now she's actually taking the step into activism. Good for her.

Given that black and Hispanic California were key in getting Prop 8 passed, this is great news -- what hypocrisy! Now if Queen Latifah would only stand up and be counted...

@garbanzo314: Could you please find another tired racist myth to flog? We're bored of that one already. How about the one about all the black men are after white women? I haven't heard that in a while.

Woohoo! I LOVE Wanda and I always suspected she was gay, mainly because she had this one schtick in her act where she would talk about how boring (straight) sex was and how she wasn't into it (described in a hilarious way, of course). I thought, um, you're probably having the wrong kind of sex then.

I think she's hot as hell, in every conceivable way.

She is one of the funniest women alive. She's typically in the shittiest films and is the ONLY redeeming quality of them. Even if it's a brief role, I leave thinking "well at least Wanda Sykes is in it."

One of my favorite Wanda Sykes skits is when she talks about how anti-choice supporters have this perverse misconception of abortion and act like women are like "Girl, whachyou doin this weekend?" "Girrlll, I'm thinking about getting an abortion." I use this skit as an example in my abortion rights argument. Thanks Wanda...oh, and Congrats on coming out.

And while we're worrying about having enough women in the Obama administration, here is the solution. Please: invent a new cabinet post for this genius. Secretary of Why the Fuck Not?

The Yes on 8 ads were all about our children. But what about our poor, defenseless actors who are being forced into gay marriages by Hollywood?

Huh. I didn't know that. But then again, Wanda is talented enough that you don't really have to hear all about her personal life - I just always knew that she was hilarious and vaguely knew that she was married for a while because she changed her name.

Good for her.

She was in the closet like Nathan Lane or Jodie Foster. I mean, duh! And, I don't care. I love her...but not in that way.

@I Don't Get It: But that's the point. She's taken up arms. She's not being quiet any more. And, to quote the late, great, Bernie Mac, she ain't scared of you motherfuckers.

I mean, not you, personally, "you motherfuckers" as in "you motherfuckers who just invalidated my marriage".

@MissNormaDesmond: Not to get all Katie Couric on you, but the Attorney General of California (Jerry Brown) said that Prop 8 was not retroactive.

@JinxyMcDeath: Actually, I was aware of that. As Wanda herself might say, "What the fuck ever." That hardly changes the point.

By the way, while Brown might recognize those marriages, there's currently little or no incentive for any other state to do so. So I'd say the objection was more Palin than Couric, really.
