Hillary Clinton: I'm not a lesbian *

Responding to the question "How do you respond to the occasional rumor that you're a lesbian?", Hillary Clinton says: "It's not true".

* Now, certainly, some reactionaries and other members of The Conspiracy might say something about the meaning of the word "is" in this case. But, it does apply, since "are" is a declension of "is", and the word "is" in this case is not entirely clear. Could it be referring to that instant moment at which the question was asked? Certainly, it wasn't referring to all time in the past, present (whatever moment the present might be; it constantly changes), or the future. When saying "it's not true", could Hillary be referring to the rumor itself, saying that she's never heard that rumor? Or, could she have been referring to the frequency of the rumor, saying that she thought it was heard more or less times than "occasional" would suggest? Could she have some lesbian "experiences" but not be a full-on lesbian? Could she have thought that she was responding to the question whether she was really from the Island of Lesbos?
