Known for her unique voice, crazy antics, and equally hilarious standup comedy skits, Wanda Sykes came out as a lesbian at a same-sex marriage rally in 2008. At the time, she was already married to Alex Niedbalski. You can check out Wanda Sykes in some recent films including the Ice Age film series, The Hot Flashes, and Hammy’s Boomerang Adventure. Her acting talents range from mega-funny comedies to family-fun cartoons. Basically, if you need a good laugh, watch her shows.
Like others on this epic list, Wanda Sykes is not only in a homosexual relationship, but she also is married interracially. The pair first met in 2006 and was married just two years later. The following year in 2009, the loving couple had twins. Formally known as Alex Niedbalski, her wife dropped her maiden name and picked up Wanda’s. It just goes to show that even innovative and unique marriages can still have conservative values and traditions. Simply do what you feel is right!

But a fateful day in 2007 finally revealed his truth. He not said he was gay, but David Hyde Pierce confirmed he was indeed dating Brian Hargrove. Surprisingly, he was not the only actor on Fraiser to claim he was homosexual. We certainly enjoyed the show.
Although he announced he was gay in 2007, David Hyde Pierce and Brian Hargrove have been together since the 1980s. That is having a secret lover if we ever thought so!

In case you were wondering, Brian Hargrove is a successful writer, director, and producer.
