Kerry Washington Not Offended by Gay Rumors

Kerry Washington wasn't offended by rumors she was a lesbian.

The Scandal star, who is expecting her first child with her NFL star husband of four months, Nnamdi Asomugha, believes the speculation about her sexuality stemmed from the fact she rarely talks about her personal life.

"It's interesting how much people long to fill in the gaps when someone in the public eye doesn't share their personal life. I understand their frustration. I like how people will post pictures of me with other women that I adore, hugging on red carpets, and say, 'See?' Are we so uncomfortable with love between two people of the same gender that we immediately label it as sexual? But I've never been bothered by the lesbian rumor. There's nothing offensive about it, so there's no reason to be offended," the 36-year-old actress told The Advocate magazine.
