A number of articles that appeared in periodicals in the alternative press have identified her as a lesbian. Paul Lynde, Moorehead’s co-star on Bewitched, stated: “Well, the whole world knows Agnes was a lesbian – I mean classy as hell, but one of the all-time Hollywood dykes”.

Doubt the label of Agnes. Paul Lynde on the other hand, pings the gaydar.

From Wikipedia:
Moorehead's close friend Debbie Reynolds stated categorically that Moorehead was not a lesbian. Reynolds's autobiography mentions the rumor and states it was started "maliciously" by one of Moorehead's husbands during their divorce.[20] Moorehead's longtime friend and producer Paul Gregory concurs in the assessment. Quint Benedetti, Moorehead's longtime employee who was homosexual, also stated that Moorehead was not a lesbian and attributed the story to Paul Lynde's frequent gossiping and rumor-mongering.[21]
Let's avoid spreading malicious gossip about someone who cannot defend her honor.

“I mean classy as hell, but one of the all-time Hollywood dykes”.”

Almost everybody associated with Elizabeth Montgomery on that show was gay or lesbian. But Agnes was great.

Looks like you got that from her Wikipedia entry. But also on that entry:

“Moorehead’s close friend Debbie Reynolds stated categorically that Moorehead was not a lesbian. Reynolds’s autobiography mentions the rumor and states it was started “maliciously” by one of Moorehead’s husbands during their divorce.[20] Moorehead’s longtime friend and producer Paul Gregory concurs in the assessment. Quint Benedetti, Moorehead’s longtime employee who was homosexual, also stated that Moorehead was not a lesbian and attributed the story to Paul Lynde’s frequent gossiping and rumor-mongering.[21]”
