Little tid bit of info... Wanda Sykes Comes Out Monday November 17, 2008 I admit that the passage of Prop 8 in California depressed me. And made me angry. But as time goes by, I'm starting to see that its passage was not the worst thing in the world. Because it's gotten people fired up. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets this weekend to voice their disappointment and anger over the fact that civil rights can be put up for a popular vote. Our allies, such as MSNBC Commentator Keith Olbermann, Christina Aguilera and Madonna and many others have all spoken out in for marriage equality and gay rights. And comedian Wanda Sykes used her anger and disappointment as an opportunity to come out. "I am proud to be gay!" Wanda declared Saturday in Las Vegas. I can't say that I'm happy Prop 8 passed. No, the opposite. But I do think some good will come from this. What about you? © Toby Canham/Getty Images
