And she didn't even need the cover of People to do it.
Having never (so?) publicly discussed her sexual orientation — but having made light of it on stage and on The New Adventures of Old Christine — comedian Wanda Sykes surprised Las Vegas Prop 8 protesters by announcing she is gay and married her wife on Oct. 25. Why speak up now? Because of Prop 8's passage. "I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked — our community was attacked. … Now, I gotta get in their face. … I'm proud to be a woman.
