I Didn't Know Wanda Sykes Had A Wife

I like Wanda Sykes. She is funny,smart,& apparently gay. This was an aspect of her life that I really did not pay much attention to. I figured that she was gay but I didn't know whether she had come out or not. With the passage of Proposition 8, Wanda Sykes made her position known on the matter by revealing that she had actually gotten married to her wife on October 25. She is pissed in this video & being real about how she feels. I wonder who's next in Hollywood. You know it's such a closeted society so it took a lot of courage for her to make this statement. Especially as a black woman because many of us tend to shun those who are gay. Wow,girl! You've got guts! And I love you for it.

Believe me, I know because I lost everything in a fire in 2005. My prayers are with all those who must rebuild their lives. The good news is that you survived.Knowing that fact is what kept me going. Here's an excerpt from CNN:
"One of three major wildfires burning in southern California appears to be "human caused," a spokesman for the state's fire agency said Sunday. (END OF EXCERPT) Read the whole article here:
