Queen Latifah says she doesn't care if people think she's gay.

"I don't have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life," Latifah, 38, told Sunday's New York Times magazine.

"You don't get that part of me. Sorry," she added. "We're not discussing it in our meetings, we're not discussing it at Cover Girl...nobody gets that.

"I don't feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don't care if people think I'm gay or not," she said. "Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway."

Latifah had been linked to her longtime personal trainer. Last December, she denied rumors that they were getting married.

"People will make up all sorts of things that are not true," she told the Chicago Sun-Times. "There ain't gonna' be no wedding."
