Most people knew comedian Wanda Sykes was a lesbian, but the rest of the world learned her status on Saturday when Sykes surprised organizers of a Prop 8 rally in Las vegas by coming out officially.
What I didn’t know was that Wanda married her lady friend on October 25th in a private ceremony. So now Sykes is fighting mad because, as she puts it: “ When my wife and I leave California, I want to have my
Then Sykes goes on to compare a lifestyle choice with God’s natural selection and intelligent design of the sexes.
marriage also recognized in Nevada, in Arizona, all the way to New
York!”“Being gay is not a choice,” argues Sykes. “That’s like telling me I chose to be
Of course Sykes’ argument is flawed since she chose to be married to a man once (they divorced in 1998). Californians took a vote to oppose gay marriage. That’s how a democracy works. The people of California have spoken. So I think she will have to settle with being recongized in Nevada and go somewhere and sit down!!
a woman, I chose to be black! Are we saying that if being gay is a choice…
people are straight because they chose not to be gay?” (some would argue differn't )

According to the National Enquirer, Queen Latifah and long time trainer boo Jeanette Jenkins are about to get hitched: “This week’s National Enquirer states that Queen Latifah plans to marry her partner of five years, personal trainer Jeannette Jenkins, after the groundbreaking ruling in California that legalized same-sex marriages.”
But is this tale believable? We all know how tight-lipped King Latifah can be about her love life: “So if this is true, it’s a big step for Latifah, who’s never even mentioned Jeannette. She has a lot of high-profile endorsement contracts as well as her movie career, so maybe she fears a backlash if she comes out or just doesn’t think it’s anyone’s business. The Enquirer points out that Jeanette isn’t out, either, and that she ‘previously denied being gay and once claimed to be engaged to a man.

In September of last year, Latifah bought Jeannette a new car, a Range Rover she had delivered to surprise her at a restaurant where they were having lunch.
The two are said to be ‘planning an intimate ceremony with close family and friends.’ Latifah has said she would like to adopt a child, particular an American baby, and this may be the first step toward showing her commitment to Jeannette and to providing a stable home life.”
It’s about time King Latifah quit denying her Lezzy status. If this ish is true, we’re sure it will be a top secret affair. We’ll have to just wait and see….Read more (Click now)
