		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-98650&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;mark&lt;/a&gt;: I agree. In her stand up she has mentioned gays/gay marriage, plus while on Ellen (yes I&#039;m a huge Ellen fan, lol), this year she spoke out against Sally Kern and more recently against Prop 8. While on her sitcom, although not an actual gay character, she plays a woman married to another woman so she can stay in the US. 
I agree our perception of Wanda doesnt matter, whether she was out publically or just seen as a straight ally she has spoken well.
Straight allys are just as important (think Keith Olberman)</description>

you&#039;re outright lying! How do I know? She has said she is &quot;married&quot; not &quot;dating&quot;. Again, for 4 years she dated my uncle Theodore in LA, and we got to know her pretty well, and she is NOT GAY!</description>

		<description>All of you gays need to be Saved by the Power of God! God will judge all of you for being sexually immoral and perverted! HE can however set you free if you will repent of your sin, and turn to His Son, Jesus Christ in fauth. Why don&#039;t you do it today?</description>

		<description>The main point about Wanda Sykes, is she spoke forcefully against discriminating against gays/lesbians for at least the past year, whether someone thought she was a straight ally or lesbian, didn&#039;t matter.</description>

		<description>@ slider,

there&#039;s a difference between &quot;being out&quot; and &quot;coming out.&quot; Clearly, she was out as she married her girlfriend on Oct. 25. Not every gay person has to &quot;come out.&quot; One may argue that it may make life a little easier, but it is their choice. From reading and watching her clip, it seems like she was out and living her life, yet private about that aspect of it because it&#039;s HER LIFE. It does not, however, appear that she was in the closet.</description>

		<description>My point was it would have been helpful if Wanda Sykes stood up and came out before the passage of Prop 8 and not AFTER the fact. 

Maybe, just maybe, Sykes speaking out against Prop 8 and campaigning against it might have helped. I wish her the best. And no Wanda Sykes did not come out before the rally where she spoke. 

Indeed, there have been a number of magazine articles in which she is mentioned as is she or isn&#039;t she Gay.

The more people come out and stand up the better will be. My point was it might have helped NO on 8 had she stood up before the vote and actively campaigned against it, when it was needed most.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-98499&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Slider&lt;/a&gt;: 

Whatever.

She was not out in the cover-of-People sense, but if her friends + fam knew she was gay, then she was out.

I don&#039;t have to rent a sky-writer to announce my being gay in order to consider myself out. The article also says that she&#039;s talked about being gay on stage before.

At any rate, my point still stands that it&#039;s none of my business when/if she became more &quot;out&quot; to the media. Her support is appreciated + I won&#039;t second-guess it.</description>

		<description>I might also add that the article is entitled &quot;Wanda Sykes Comes Out&quot; Therefore, clearly the implication is that before she spoke at this rally she was not Out. If any one can point to an article that Wanda Sykes was out before she spoke at the rally she spoke at, I would like to know it.</description>

		<description>Fredo, before Wanda Sykes spoke at this rally did she formally come out? Has she ever expressed that she is a Lesbian? Had a Girlfriend? Dated women? Can you point to anything to indicate she  was OUT? No! Clearly, if Wanda Sykes was out and campaigning for NO on 8, maybe it would have helped. It certainly would not have hurt and silence by Sykes to me means she was NOT out.

Defend her all you want, I was stating that it would have helped had she come out before the vote and helped the NO on 8 campaign. 

After the fact,is well and good but before the vote would have helped a great deal more in my humble opinion.

If you don&#039;t like what I have to say that is your right.. so be it.</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s awesome that Wanda Sykes came out.  I too am a lesbian who happens to be a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I hope all other gay and lesbian members of African-American greek orginazations do the same!  Yes, gay and lesbians are every where.

Skee Wee Wanda!!!!</description>

I don&#039;t race bait, and if any discussion of Civil Rights vs. LGBT Human Rights offends you...go F*CK YOURSELF!
I seriously doubt anyone does it with you.</description>

I make no threats of violence, I do know from 40 years as an activist, that media denial doesn&#039;t make things better, it makes them WORSE.
Demonstrations are like a pressure valve opening in Society, and it&#039;s much healthier to have that valve working properly. When coverage is skewed to dismiss already angry people...they get ANGRIER.
Fredo I do take your correction, that there were many Black and Latinos in our rallies, I was referring to Black or Latino demonstrations which are solely Black or solely Latino demonstrating for racial or ethnic equality.</description>

		<description>With all the racebaiting the homophobes have been trying to stir up this week, she could not be making her move at a more perfect time.

Thank you Wanda, and God bless.

Who said she was in the closet at all?

Even if she was, it&#039;s not like she owes us or the gay marriage cause a specific time for her coming out, which is a totally personal decision.</description>

		<description>Well, I respect Wanda Sykes for coming out but wouldn&#039;t it have helped the NO on Prop 8 even more if she came out before the vote and actively campaigned for NO on 8 and announced that she was married and stood up loud and strong to show the importance of the issue and not after the fact. My question is if Prop 8 was defeated would Wanda Sykes have remained in the closet?</description>

		<description>Wasn&#039;t it Wanda who stood before an audience last summer and said, &quot;If you don&#039;t believe in gay marriage, then don&#039;t marry some of the same sex.&quot;?

Wanda, you are one cool lady and we love ya!  Thanks for standing up and being counted.  As the old lady said when she pee&#039;d in the ocean, &quot;Every little bit helps.&quot; lol

As more and more people come out, we shall become a groundswell</description>

		<description>Is everyone as P*SSED as I am at the lack of media coverage of yesterday&#039;s demonstrations in 150 cities?  
you know damn well if African Americans or Latinos staged THAT many demonstrations in a single day it would have been covered Wall to Wall. 
If the MSM is purposely down playing peaceful demonstrations, the demonstrations will CEASE to be peaceful.</description>

		<description>Would Anderson ever be aloud to come out? methinks not.
The nature of  Cooper&#039;s job makes it impossible for him to come out in support of gay marriage, which I find sad.
but hey, who can say? maybe the silver fox could surprise us and come out in the very near future.</description>

I love this line.   She&#039;s right.  Those who supported prop 8 really stepped in  it by riling us up.</description>
