Wanda Sykes
Back in 2008, Wanda Sykes came out during a gay rights rally in Las Vegas. Wanda Sykes said, “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. Everybody that knows me personally, they know I’m gay.” That same year she married Alex Niedbalski and they welcomed twins in 2009. However, she only came out to her conservative parents when she was 40 years old. They didn’t attend her wedding, but have come around since then and are enjoying their role as grandparents too.
