New York, Sept 21: Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has officially declared that she is not a lesbian, but added that there was nothing wrong if someone was.

During an interview with The Advocate to be published next week, Sean Kennedy, the gay magazine's news and features editor, asked the presidential candidate, "How do you respond to the occasional rumor that you're a lesbian?"

"People say a lot of things about me, so I really don't pay any attention to it," Senator Clinton replied.

"It's not true, but it is something that I have no control over. People will say what they want to say," The New York Daily News quoted her, as saying.
