Whoopi Goldberg, a longtime ally of the LGBTQ community, “came out” as straight during an interview on Raven-Symoné and Miranda Pearman-Maday’s podcast, The Best Podcast Ever With Raven and Miranda.
During the interview, Symoné, Goldberg’s former co-host of The View, asked the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-Award winning actress about her sexual orientation.“I wanna just dig into your business a little bit.” Symoné said on air. “Sometimes, Whoops, you give me lesbian vibes.
You give me, like, stud vibes,” reports Insider.Goldberg, who has been married three separate times and has dated a number of high-profile men in the theater and cinema world, has previously portrayed lesbian or same-gender-loving characters, most notably in the movies The Color Purple and Boys on the Side.“Women have been asking me this for as long as I’ve been around,” Goldberg responded. “I am not a lesbian, but I know lots of them, and I’ve played them on television.
I have always had lesbian friends because they’re just my friends. I’m not gonna kiss you, but I’ll kiss you over here, I’ll do this but I’m not going to do this.
