1. I'm on dialup.

What did she say? I'm curious.

[begin_within]

3. Here is what she says.

"Me, I'm for gay marriage. But I don't like to have to say that. To me it shouldn't even be debated. It shouldn't even be in the court system. Government shouldn't be involved in this. Cause it's very simple. If you don't believe in same-sex marriage, then don't marry somebody of the same sex. I don't understand people all up in arms over shit that don't affect them. Really. I'm only going to protest or march or get involved with shit affects me. If they said "Hey, we're going to ban the sale of alcohol after 9 p.m.," (runs and grabs microphone stand, holds it up and marches around). This is bullshit! I'd walk the Million Alcoholic March, I'm tellin' you. Probably won't see a lot of marchin' going on, it'd be a lot of leanin'. (leans) Ahhhghghhggghhhhhh. Not a very effective protest, but... I don't understand it though, I don't understand how does someone else's marriage affect your marriage? It's ridiculous. Really. If your marriage is fucked up, it's because you fucked it up. What, are straight couples at marriage counselors now, like "Uh, we just ain't workin' together since, uh, Bill and Ted hooked up. We just can't get along." I don't know why we gotta protect marriage, that's what they say, "We gotta protect marriage." Now I don't think same-sex couples, I don't think that's the biggest threat to marriage. I think the biggest threat to marriage is divorce. That's what fucked up my marriage. If they're so concerned about preserving marriage and the sanctity of marriage, if they want to protect marriage, what they should do is ban divorce. Right? Make marriage like the Mafia. Once you're in, you're in. The murder rate will go up, but you know, hey. Have a lot of couples sleepin' with one eye open, I know that. And don't try to get up in the middle of the night either. "Hey hey where you goin'?" "I'm thirsty." "Well me too." I'm goin' to get me one of those (unintelligible) mattress so I can sneak out of the bed. What is the fear, what are people afraid of what are you say gay marriage is better than your marriage or somethin'? (folds arms) "Look at them happy ass gays." If your wife nag you or somethin' like "Honey, look at Bill and Ted, oh my, I love those guys, they sat on that porch for hours, and talk, and I run into them all the time at the mall, and shopping, and they spend a lot of quality time together. I wish we could do that. I wish we could be a little like Bill and Ted." (in deeper voice) "Really. Well, maybe if you let me fuck you in yo' ass a couple of times, that could be me and you right there, baby, that... we could have that.""

Yet another reason to like Wanda Sykes.

6. HAHAHA

thank you for typing that out, that is great.

[Jamastiene]

9. Haha. That is probably so true.

Maybe some of the opposition some people have toward gay marriage is a fear that straight women will point to gay couples and say to their husbands, "See, why can't we be more like them." That's something I've never actually thought about. Wanda Sykes is a trip. That's one smart lady.

Thank you for letting me know so I could hear what she had to say.

7. Oh my gosh, she is hysterical!

My husband travels frequently, so a detachable pussy would come in handy.
