Chicago, IL -
Listen folks, if she's said it once, she's said it a thousand times: Oprah Winfrey is not a lesbian.
And her friendship with Gayle King is strictly platonic.
"I have said we are not gay enough times," Winfrey told Barbara Walters. "I am not gay. I am not lesbian. I'm not even kind of a lesbian."
Oprah got teary-eyed as she described her love for King.
"She is ... the mother I never had. She is ... the sister everybody would want," Winfrey said. "She is the friend that everybody deserves."
Winfrey said she's sick of dealing with questions about King, since she's clearly lovers with Stedman Graham.
"And the reason why [the lesbian rumor] irritates me is because somebody must think I'm lying. That's No. 1. No. 2, why would you want to hide it?" Winfrey said.
