"My answer is no, but I'm mildly elated," Owen, 61, said. "I don't consider myself gay or lesbian. To be a lesbian you need to be a woman; to be gay you need to be a man. "
Owen isn't just being facetious. Owen, who now is the chief operating officer for a publicly-owned nutritional company in Las Vegas, was born with both female and male reproductive organs.
