Oprah: "I'm not gay"
Oprah Winfrey and her friend Gayle King want to be clear - they are not gay.
In the August issue of O, the Oprah Magazine, the US talk-show host explains that some people misunderstand her close friendship with King.
"I understand why people think we're gay,'' she says.
"There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women. So I get why people have to label it - how can you be this close without it being sexual?''
In a long article, Winfrey, 52, and King converse about their 30 years of friendship and ''four-times-a-day phone calls.''
The two friends say they would have no problem telling the public if they were in a sexual relationship.
"The truth is, if we were gay, we would tell you, because there's nothing wrong with being gay,'' says King.
Says Winfrey: "Something about this relationship feels otherworldly to me, like it was designed by a power and a hand greater than my own. Whatever this friendship is, it's been a very fun ride.''

Oprah is gay.I don't care what they say. She enjoys the company of women more than men,and that is abnormal.Her male partner is like a spectator to Oprah and her legion of female friends.

NASTY BELINDA,GET YOUR DIRTY MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER WHERE YOU OBVIOUSLY BREATHE,EAT,SLEEP,AND LIVE.WHEN YOU HAVE ELEVATED YOURSELF TO ICONIC STATUS AND HAVE EARNED YOUR WAY AND ALL THE MONEY THAT OPRAH HAS,THEN MAYBE,JUST MAYBE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE'S SEXUAL PREFERENCE.HAVE YOU RECENTLY OR EVER CONTRIBUTED ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT TO THE MOTHERLAND OF AFRICA WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT PRIVY TO BASIC NECESSITIES THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED?WELL,OPRAH HAS. GAY OR NOT GAY SHE HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO MANY CHARITIES THAT ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD.AND ONE MORE THING NASTY BELINDA,OPRAH MAKES BLACK PEOPLE LOOK GOOD. JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS AGO NOBODY THOUGHT A BLACK WOMAN WOULD HAVE SO MUCH POWER AND WEALTH. BELINDA, THE TIME YOU TOOK TO CRITICIZE OPRAH'S LIFE YOU SHOULD HAVE TOOK THAT PRECIOUS TIME TO EDUCATE YOURSELF SO THAT ONE DAY YOU CAN REPRESENT THE BLACK RACE AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF AND WE WILL BE PROUD OF YOU.
I totally understand Oprah. Everything has to be a sexual relationship for people to understand it. They are just showing their own lack of security, and maturity. Very closed mind people thinklike that. Whether it be a man or a woman.
I was best friends with a female, and we were so tight, everyone thought that we were homosexuals. We are both gorgeous sexy women, and never dated anyone in the same neighborhood, so our business wasn't out there, we were "goodas gals." So because people didn't have anything to talk about, they made things up. None the less, like Oprah said, it was a friendship set, and designed by an unknown power or source, not humanly. We connected on some other level, without any sexual connections.
It also happens with guys, have plenty male friends, and I don't have sexual encounters with them, but because they are males, I have to be incolved sexually with them. It's annoying, but when you understand how an average person thinks, and deals with their thoughts, it doesn't get to you.
Keep being a strong, independent, self-awared, and assured woman Oprah.

ok well i have met them both and i have always said i do believe there is something strange with their relationship
oprah is an amazing woman in everything she does
but its not normal to be a woman thats not married,dont have or want kids, she's never with her "man" i see her alot
i have always seen them together alice walker the woman who wrote the color purple story is (gay) thats gayles bestfriend
you know why people find it strange????? you never see gayle king wid a man she nuh have no yute she nuh married and if she had a man mi wudda know she single anna mingle wid oprah
obviously i am sure most of you people will be quick to say that
oprah is dis and dat and she nuh tell unu seh she nuh like hip hop artist / reggae artist apart from bob marley and run dmc
99.9 percent of our black youths live and breathe reggae and hip hop she hated ludacris cause him call oooman hoes in him songs her response is she doesn't like him for that
but she never said anything to steven speilberg for his movie (amastad) where dem have black slaves and have people a call we niggers she pretty much just say you know what its just acting its just a movie i personally dont take movies that serious cause dem pretending just like almost every artist that sings its called creative writing (self expressions) freedom of speech
and yea oprah either gay or one lick away from it
bless

I have never heard oprah talk highly of her mother, her brother her sister. She seems to get along with everyboday outside her family (Gayle King, Maya Angelo, Jennifer Annison etc) their was a time she flaunted her relatinship with her father ( the one she claims her mother lied about him being her real father) she has forgotten where she came from and how she was told by those white TV producers in the past that she was not good looking enough to be on televsion) I just think that she is phony, pretentious, and a fraud. Stedman was just a prop ( to keep most of us that she like men) we all know that she loves the company of most women (especially the white ones) and if she was honest with her self she would just come on out of the closet like Rosie & Ellen etc. Notice how she's close with all those that are rumored to be gay (gayle, tom cruise, stedman, etc....She is ashamed of anyone in her past that can remind her of how she was back in the day (poor, black, and unattractive...
