NOWHERE in the article does she say what you stated in your title. NOWHERE.

Even the title at the link stated she didn't like to be labeled gay/African American. Why didn't you use their title?

Eta... Your screen shot shows you used the title you were seeing at CNN--their title--which is a different title than I am now seeing at CNN. Perhaps they changed it under fire, or perhaps it's different from platform to platform. While awful for Ms Symone, it never-the-less, was not your error, so I sincerely apologize.
