Gayle King says gay question is stupid; cried during Oprah’s interview
”It just so happened I was in Tasmania and it had been a very, very long day… and I was sitting there watching it. And I called her and said, ‘I’m sitting in my room crying all by myself.’ … It used to bother me, and now I say, ‘OK, if people believe it, there’s nothing we can do to change their minds. Oprah has been so outspoken and I have about my dating life, my desire to have a significant other, that it’s just silly that we would deny or hide that because it implies something is wrong. That’s what bothers me more than anything. There’s nothing wrong.”
