Wanda Sykes: "I'm proud to be gay."
LAS VEGAS — Comedian Wanda Sykes says the passage of a same-sex marriage ban in California has led to her be more outspoken about being gay.

"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."

Sykes' appearance at the Las Vegas rally surprised organizers. She was in town performing at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

She can cut them up so fast verbally that the people she aims at won't even know it until it is over.
I really like her.

4. Not anymore

(per wikipedia) he sold his interest in 2000.

Which is fine with me, as the buffet at what used to be the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas and is now the Planet Ho, used to be my favorite one.

5. Oh, cool. So is Planet Hollywood's ownership now douchebag-free? n/t

Good for her for speaking up.
