Oprah Says She's Not Gay

Wednesday July 19, 2006
Rumors of Oprah's alleged homosexuality have been circulating for some time, but Oprah herself set the record straight in the August 2006 issue of O Magazine. Oprah says that although she and rumored lesbian friend Gayle King are very close, she is not gay. Winfrey says, "There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women." She also says she believes there is nothing wrong with gay people, which is evident by her close professional relationship with openly gay feature designer Nate Berkus.
