Wanda Sykes Says It’s Harder To Be Gay Than Black
Writer and stand-up comedian Wanda Sykes recently appeared on the Piers Morgan Tonight show, where she boldly proclaimed that “it’s harder to be gay than black.”
I’m not talking about the history of black people, of African Americans. I’m talking about at this point right now … I don’t know of organizations and groups like Focus on the Family and such anti-gay organizations who are putting up so much money — millions and millions of dollars — into stopping me from, you know, being black or telling me I can’t exercise my blackness. There’s no equality. There’s no equality for the LGBT community.”
