Oprah On Her Relationship With Gayle: ‘I’m Not a Lesbian. I Think…’

An emotional Oprah Winfrey teared up as she spoke to Barabara Walters about her relationship with rumored lover Gayle King.

“I have said we are not gay,” she tells Barbara Walters on “A Barbara Walters Special: Oprah, The Next Chapter,” airing Thursday on ABC. “I’m not lesbian. I’m not even kind of lesbian. And the reason it irritates me is because somebody must think I’m lying. That’s number one. Number two, why would you want to hide it? That’s not the way I run my life.”

Oprah says that despite rarely being seen in public together, Stedman is still “the love… the lover… the man… the partner… the mate” of her life.

“[Gayle] is the mother I never had, she is the sister everybody would want, she is the friend everybody deserves,” she says. “I don’t know a better person. It’s making me cry because I’m thinking about how I’ve probably never told her that.”

Somebody should tell Oprah that she can be in an intimate relationship with another woman and not engage in sexual acts with her.

    Sexual acts between two women is normal and healthy and doesn’t make either “lesbians.” I’m sure Gayle and Oprah have expressed their love for one another in a physical way and neither are lesbians.

    What it means is, some women (and men) can’t accept their homosexuality for whatever reason (religious, homophobic, etc.) So they deny their homosexual urgings while seeking out the company of homosexuals. Sort of like what Bishop Eddie Long is doing with the young men in his church. :coffee:

    pointhimout says:

    I don’t know why Oprah will not adopt me. I really dont. So she and Gayle are extremely close. SR, there are men who are very close and inseparable like this too, like they’re closer to their boy than their girl or wife. I see this in Oprah’s relatioship with Gayle; they’re closer than she/steadman are.
