Wanda Sykes: Harder to be gay than black in America - Groups don't tell people to stop being black

[WillParkinson]

Sykes, race, sexuality, and oppression Olympics. Last week comic Wanda Sykes was interviewed on the CNN show “Piers Morgan Tonight.” She argued that right now it’s harder to be gay than black in America. “I don’t know of organizations and groups like Focus on the Family and such anti-gay organizations who are putting so much money, millions and millions of dollars, into stopping me from being black or telling me that I can’t exercise my blackness. There’s no equality for LGBT people."
