Not that there's anything wrong with it, but Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King use the August issue of O Magazine (the theme of which is 'Best Friends') to proclaim, once and for all, that they are NOT GAY!

Says Oprah: "I've told everything there is to tell. All my stuff is out there. People think I'd be so ashamed of being gay that I wouldn't admit it? Oh, please."

Says Gayle:"...I used to say, 'Oprah, you have to do something. It's hard enough for me to get a date on a Saturday night. You've got to go on the air and stop it!" And then you realize you can't really stop it."

Adds Gayle: "I have to admit, if Oprah were a man, I would marry her."

I've read the entire Q&A and it is clear that these two terrific ladies are amazing friends, closer than most sisters probably. It is a beautiful thing, it's just not a gay thing.
