Oprah and Gayle: Are They?

​
They deny it, and naturally one doesn't want to fall into that old stereotype about how any two powerful women who hang together must be doing it.

But Stedman never seemed that persuasive a force to me, and now Rosie O'Donnell has stirred the pepperpot by saying on the radio that Oprah and Gayle certainly seem like a couple.

Out-and-proud Rosie was just saying what a lot of people have always been thinking. But are they? As I cracked on Curtis Sliwa's radio show last night, "If the Birkenstocks fit..."

When Oprah and Gayle went on their road trip, there was a scene where they were registering for a hotel and the desk person asked if they were a couple. Oprah and Gayle found this hilarious, and for some reason, this resonated truthfully for me. I don't believe they're a couple.

Stedman seems like he's secure in his masculinity - he'd have to be to be paired with such a powerful woman. He doesn't throw his weight around like some macho asshole, so he may appear rather "passive."

rosalita says:

let's be frank, even we left wing gays have to admit rosie is more than a little disturbed == her whole tom cruise crush thing for instance -- and claiming she wanted him to serve her ice tea and mow her lawn --- who wants that grinning psychotic Scientologist anywhere NEAR his or her house, gay or straight? In short, Rosie is not an authority on anyone's sexuality, including her own -- her manias have just ruined what looked like a permanent relationship with kids etc -- so she is really not in a position to be taken seriously by anyone -- now if Tracey Morgan claimed Oprah was a lezzie, at least he can be taken seriously!

If they ARE a couple, I think their sexual days are over and now they're just best buds.

Impossible. They don't cut their hair that way or wear the uniform. Totally bogus.

drlove says:

Oprah was raped as a kid. So sex is hardly going to be the hot free-for-all others enjoy. She is very possibly asexual, in that she envies and emulates male power in business and socialization context, and has intimate connections with women that are probably lubricated by tears and carbohydrates, not hot female wetness.
Her megalomania is the source of her orgasms. She's self contained.

eppy center says:

drlove means that Oprah is a soulmate of Ed Koch and gets off on power and money alone -- in fact Oprah is starting to look like Ed Koch so this theory is plausible -- by the way do Ed Koch's money grubbing TV commercials for that asshole hospital which saved his miserable lying closeted power-and money-grubbing life make you ever want to set foot in that hospital?

maybe lucy and ethel did not bump uglies, daho, but ricky and fred might have -- lots of memoirs discuss how Desi Arnaz would fuck anything, male or female, to advance his career, and Cesar Romero was one of his "conquests" --

cookie cutter says:

Let's say the big Eau carpet munches...how do you think they do it?

I'm betting Winfrey likes to facesit-smother Gayle with her significant girth until King's legs are thrashing, her body near death gasping for air. It's like a wrestling match where the sadistic Oprah always wins.

But then Gayle gets back at her by constantly feeding her, keeping her overweight, unhappy and insecure.

I'm not s lesbian, but I'm pretty sure that's how they do it.

Sincerely,
Cookie Cutter

Ina says:

I don't think they're gay. Oprah was sued by a guy who wanted to write a tell all book about how he lived with Oprah for 5 months in the early 1980s. She tried to kill herself over a married guy, she's done cocain with guys, she was even pregnant at 14. Gayle's been married & has 2 grown kids. Just because Rosie hid her sexuality (with the Tom Cruise crush) when she had a talk show doesn't mean Oprah is.

@Ina - "Gayle's been married & has 2 grown kids"

Rock Hudson was married and had a kid. So what? That doesn't prove anything.
