Is Oprah Gay? Finally, Confirmation
While Rosie says Oprah and Gayle are gay... a reporter asks what we've all been wondering.
One reporter dared to go where others fear to tread: Are Gayle King and Oprah are in a romantic relationship? (And on the red carpet, of all places!) Learn (and Earn) From Gay Marriage
Sure, we've all wondered and speculated. In fact, Rosie O'Donnell went so far as to assume the two are secretly together last month on the Howard Stern Show. According to Hollyscoop.com, O'Donnell pointed out that Gayle and Oprah's roadtrip is "as gay as it gets." Says Rosie:
I don't know. I think [Oprah's] never been married and she's exceptionally close to Gayle. I don't know that she and Gayle are necessarily doing each other but I think they are the emotional equivalent of…
But back to the new news... last night at Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in New York City, a reporter asked Gayle if the two were together. Her reply? We have to say, it was smart... and believeable.
The thing [is], if we were gay, we would tell you. We would so tell you. We wouldn't try to keep that a secret because there's nothing wrong with being gay. So if we were, we would tell you. The truth of the matter is we're not. It's hard enough for me to get a date on a Saturday night as it is.
We like that answer. We believe it. And the fact that Gayle needs for a date on a Saturday night only makes her more genuine. Single And Don't Want To Be? Watch This

Just because Oprah's never been married does not mean she's a lesbian. On the contrary, she's been in a stable relationship with the same man for a quarter century & have you any idea how many men Oprah's been with BEFORE Steadman? There was the guy in Chicago she lived with for 5 months & who accused her of doing crack with him. There was the married guy in Baltimore she tried to kill herself over. There was Lloyd Kramer, the only white guy she ever dated. There was Bubba Taylor, the guy she dated in college & when he tried to break up with her she flushed his car keys down the toilet so that he couldn't leave her. There was Anthony Oatie her high school sweet heart. There were all the men she had sex with during her promiscuous years when she had a baby at 14. So there are volumes & volumes of examples of Oprah being straight but no evidence at all that she's gay. Being unmarried proves nothing. Most successful black women do not get married & no one's more successful than Oprah. It's possible she's a lesbian. Anything's possible, but the odds are against it & the lesbian rumor only started because Oprah played the therapist on Ellen's coming out show. Prior to the late 1990s there was never a single rumor Oprah was gay despite the fact that she was in the tabloids every week since the 1980s. If Oprah were really a lesbian the rumors would span back to her days in Baltimore & the tabloids with all the billions they've spent investigating her would have evidence. Just because Ellen & Rosie are lesbians does not mean all Emmy winning talk show women are lesbians. Remember only 10% of the population is gay. Posted at 4:10PM on Nov 7th 2009 by Kaner
