Wanda Sykes of The New Adventures of Old Christine formally came out at a Las Vegas rally opposing the passing of California's Proposition 8. Wanda, 44, married her wife on October 25, and stated, "I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay...We took a huge leap forward [in electing Barack Obama] and then got dragged about 12 steps back. Our community was attacked. If we had equal rights, we shouldn't have to be standing out here demanding something that we automatically should have as citizens of this country. I said, 'You know what, now I gotta get in your face.' And that's what we have to do now. They have pissed off the wrong group of people!"
Your turn, Queen Latifah!
