Wanda Sykes Comes out of the Closet with Gloves On..!!

Most people knew comedian Wanda Sykes was a lesbian, but the rest of the world learned her status on Saturday when Sykes surprised organizers of a Prop 8 rally in Las vegas by coming out officially. What I didn’t know was that Wanda married her lady friend on October 25th in a private ceremony. So now Sykes is fighting mad because, as she puts it: “
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!”
Then Sykes goes on to compare a lifestyle choice with God’s natural selection and intelligent design of the sexes.
“Being gay is not a choice,” argues Sykes. “That’s like telling me I chose to be a woman, I chose to be black! Are we saying that if being gay is a choice… people are straight because they chose not to be gay?” (some would argue differn't )
Of course Sykes’ argument is flawed since she chose to be married to a man once (they divorced in 1998). Californians took a vote to oppose gay marriage. That’s how a democracy works. The people of California have spoken. So I think she will have to settle with being recongized in Nevada and go somewhere and sit down!!
