PUT OUT

NOT SYKED OUT:

We're kind of "meh" over the list.

It was known for decades, at least in the industry, that Wanda Sykes was gay.

Why did it take her so long to officially come out, specifically after Prop 8 passed.

Why didn't she come out before November 2008?  We could of used her exposure to rally the troops and get some "NO" votes on Prop 8 in California.  She could have gone on various news/talk shows and used her voice to get fellow Californians to the polls.

How does waiting to come out after the damage is done help us?  With a comedy special on HBO a year later telling the audience how she came out after Prop 8. And now, with  a talk show on FOX.

And how does that attitude get you on a magazine's 100 list?

We're not hating on Wanda, we love her.

We're not saying it is her fault Prop 8 passed because she didn't come out.  We just could have used her help/exposure sooner rather than later.

We're just asking, why?
