Comedian Wanda Sykes came out of the closet yesterday and announced at a Prop 8 rally that she was gay. The AP reports:

“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.”

Here is Wanda Sykes at the Prop 8 rally in Las Vegas:

Good for Wanda for speaking out. I’m not quite surprised to hear that Wanda Skyes is gay. I think I kinda already knew. Are any of you surprised?

Hilary Duff and Wanda Sykes have teamed up with The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to create a campaign in which the term “that’s so gay” is used casually in an effort to help teens recognize that their anti-LGBT language is harmful.

The campaign launch coincides with the release of GLSEN’s 2007 National School Climate Survey, which found that nearly nine in ten lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) teens report having been verbally harassed in the past school year, and almost half have been physically harassed because of their sexual orientation.

LGBT teens in the U.S. have reported that they  experience homophobic remarks and harassment throughout the school day. This disrespectful environment makes them fell unwanted and unsafe. GLSEN’s new survey found that three-quarters of LGBT teens hear slurs such as “faggot” or “dyke” frequently or often at school, and nine in ten reports hearing anti-LGBT language frequently or often. Homophobic remarks such as “that’s so gay” are the most commonly heard slurs heard at school. Research shows that these slurs are often unintentional and have unfortuntely become part of  teens’ vernacular. Most do not recognize the consequences, but the casual use of this language often carries over into more overt harassment.

The new campaign aims to raise awareness among straight teens and adults. Teens need to be more aware of  the prevalence and consequences of anti-LGBT bias and behavior in schools. And adults, including school personnel and parents, need to learn to be more supportive of this meassage, which is crucial to the success of efforts to change behavior among the target age group. The ultimate goal is to reduce and prevent the use of homophobic language in an effort to create a more positive environment for LGBT teens.

“We are proud to partner with the Ad Council on this groundbreaking campaign to address anti-LGBT language,” said GLSEN Founder and Executive Director Kevin Jennings. “Every student has a right to feel safe in school free from bullying and harassment. When students do not feel safe, they struggle to learn. This campaign will help educate young people about the harmful language many of them commonly use.”

The website, www.ThinkB4YouSpeak.com, provides tips on how to support LGBT issues and the opportunity for visitors to take a stand against anti-LGBT language through an interactive pledge form that will allow teens to “say something original,” by sharing alternatives to “that’s so gay.” The site also includes a dictionary-type tool that illustrates a word’s meaning and the notion of understanding one’s choice of words. Additional features include an e-card and a video library that calls for user submissions.

The new ads are being distributed to approximately 33,000 media stations nationwide this week. Per the Ad Council’s donated media model, all of the new ads will air and run in advertising time and space donated by the media. Media companies, including MTV (Music Television), have made early commitments to support the campaign.

And the campaign’s website, ThinkB4YouSpeak, features video and interactive tools to teach kids about what the homophobic words they’re using actually mean. And really, when pop songs like Katy Perry’s “UR So Gay” are encouraging 10-year-old girls to run around calling people “gay” for no reason other than it’s apparently “funny” or “edgy” (and somehow with the support of the gay media, which boggles my mind), we need all the help we can get.
