“I got married Oct. 25. I don’t really talk about my sexual orientation, I felt like I was living my life. I wasn’t in the closet, but I was just living my life. Everybody who knows me personally, they know I’m gay. And that’s the way people should be able to live our lives, really. We shouldn’t have to be standing out here demanding something we automatically should have as citizens of this country…I’m proud to be a woman, I’m proud to be a black woman and I’m proud to be gay.”

- Wanda Sykes speaking out against California’s Prop 8, and publicly announcing that she, herself, is gay.
