The rumors of the talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey being a lesbian has been around for years. People have focused on Winfrey's friend Gayle King being her lesbian partner. Winfrey says that relationship is close but in a different way. "She is ... the mother I never had. She is ... the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person. I don't know a better person," Winfrey says while choking up.
Winfrey, now 56, stated again and again that she is not a
lesbian. "I'm not even kind of a lesbian" she tells Barbara Walters in an interview on ABC. "And the reason why the rumor irritates me is because
it means that somebody must think I'm lying. That's number one. Number two ... why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."Source: www.people.com
