LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A tearful Oprah Winfrey has denied she is a lesbian, saying that constant rumors about her close relationship with a female friend were irritating "because it means that somebody must think I am lying."

The influential TV talk host addressed the nature of her 20-year relationship with Gayle King in an emotional interview with journalist Barbara Walters that will be broadcast on ABC television on Thursday.

"She is the mother I never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person," Winfrey said of King, fighting back tears.

"It's making me cry because I'm thinking about how much I probably have never told her that. Tissue please," she added.

King and Winfrey, 56, met while working at a local Baltimore TV station in the 1980s and have been inseparable professionally and personally, sparking much media speculation that they are gay.

The people who attend her show and watch on TV are just mindless drones. They'd be just as deliriously happy if, instead of handing out free VW Beetles as part of Oprah's Favorite Things, Oprah gave away free angry bees.

But her girlfriend is.

My experience is when a woman breaks out the tears the skepticism knob goes all the way up to 11.

Yup! I can tell that my wife is hiding something when she gets wound up over a question or statement that could be answered with a simple “no.”

Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

Dontcha love how libs think there is nothing wrong with being gay but get offended when someone thinks they are?

Or when they want to call a group of patriots, "teabaggers".
