WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sen. Hillary Clinton's sexuality is not the most pressing issue on the presidential campaign trail, but it is likely to get a fair amount of attention on a lazy Friday in the nation’s capital.
The Advocate asked Clinton about past rumors that she is gay.
The New York Democrat tells “The Advocate” that she is not a lesbian, according to a story in Friday’s edition of The New York Daily News.
"It's not true, but it is something that I have no control over," Clinton tells the magazine in a story set for publication next week.
“People will say what they want to say," she added.
The comments came in response to a question posed by Sean Kennedy, an editor of the Advocate: "How do you respond to the occasional rumor that you're a lesbian?"
The Advocate has confirmed the authenticity of the quotes to CNN.
UPDATE: The Advocate has published the full article on its Web site

Sure. I believe her.
(rolls eyes)
Depends on what the meaning of "it" is..............
She’s using the Craig defense.
Maybe not a lesbian, but perhaps a mean vicious liberal socialist democrat.
what a headline
In other words....I get all wet around other girlies...I'm just not a lesbian.
If she had to deny it... IT IS TRUE!!!
LLS
She should have stopped after saying "It's not true".
The follow-up line about having no control over it is a dead giveaway.
All depends on what the meaning of “is” is!
Wasn’t there some major movie about 10 years ago in which Gene Hackman (or somebody) was a political opperative who managed to maneuever an opponent into denying that they were gay? “This is better than if he WAS gay! Now it’s on the table! Now everyone will ask it! Now it just seems like lying! Stonewalling!”
“...”it is something that I have no control over,”...”
Is there no controlling legal authority for this?
Perhaps not a lesbian...how about bisexual?
“...it is something that I have no control over,” Clinton tells the magazine....
Nixon: I am not a crook
... but that new Maureen McCormick admission really does give me the hots!"
but does she have a wide stance?
But the Clintons ALWAYS lie so of course she is a lesbian.
Clinton: I am not a lesbian.
Sen. Craig: I am not gay.
Nixon: I am not a crook.
