Seems Ellen DeGeneres isn't the only Hollywood funny woman with a wife. Wanda Sykes is also married to a lady. And I didn't saw this coming for shit, she was married to David Hall! Comedian Wanda Sykes came out of the closet yesterday at a rally protesting Proposition 8 which banned gay marriage in California. Yup, Wanda Sykes recently spoke out about being a lesbian. Sykes made a surprise appearance at a rally being held in Las Vegas on gay marriage. The AP reports:

"You know, I don't really talk about my sexual orientation. I didn't feel like I had to. I was just living my life, not necessarily in the closet, but I was living my life," Sykes told a crowd at a gay rights rally in Las Vegas on Saturday.
"Everybody that knows me personally they know I'm gay. But that's the way people should be able to live their lives," she said.
Sykes, who is known for her feisty and blunt style, said the passage of California's Proposition 8 made her feel like she was "attacked."
"Now, I gotta get in their face," she said. "I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay."

Dude, this one is a shocker. For one she was married to some guy in the 90's so this thing about her being gay is like the first real coming out of the closet in Hollywood. Everyone else that came out of the closet was a totall bullshit because everyone knew they were gay. And the story gets even better because she was reportedly got marry to an undisclosed woman in California earlier this year. Wow, Wanda really know how to keep a secret! She could teach the CIA a thing or two about making people keep their mouths shut. Click on picture to enlarge.

Sykes began her stand-up comedy career in 1987 when she entered a Washington D.C.-area talent competition. Although she lost, she discovered a passion for comedy. She continued to hone her talents at local venues while working as a procurement officer at the National Security Agency (NSA). In 1992, she left the NSA and moved to New York. Her first big break came when opening for Chris Rock at Caroline's Comedy Club. In 1997, she joined the writing team on The Chris Rock Show.
