Whitney "took to drugs and drinks because she was hiding her true sexuality"
If true, this is heartbreaking. Hopefully one day we'll live in a society where people are free to be themselves:

Some of Whitney Houston’s friends, including gay rights activist Peter Tatchell have said that the singer took to drugs and drinks because she was hiding her true sexuality.

Tatchell even insisted her marriage to Bobby Brown was a smokescreen, and that she was “only really happy” in the 1980s when she was with a “lesbian partner”. Even her former husband has hinted their marriage was a cover-up for her desire for women.

“Whitney was happiest and at her peak in the 1980s when she was with her female partner,” Tatchell said.

“They were so loved up and joyful together. Perhaps her inability to accept and express her same-sex love contributed to her substance abuse and decline,” he added.

How can everybody be a queer when they only make up 3% of the population?

2. I thought everyone knew she was gay anyway. nt

Well I didn't know but then I couldn't name two songs she ever did.

7. Wasn't she a devout Christian?

There's a conflict, for sure. Being gay and trying to reconcile that with an anti-gay religion.

9. Your brush is too broad for "Christian".

View profile
Some christian faiths have no problem with unmixed relationships.

You mean like that church in TN where a gunman shot some of you freaks?

You cannot twist the word of God to suit your purposes.

Leviticus 20:13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Isn't it ironic that the only sect that follows that decree is muzzies.

10. There are many but I don't really expect to hear from them.

The community loves her and thus to some degree protects her.

Is that the same as I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you?

In other words, there are no legitimate claimants, just glory seekers.

25. Yes. It is so sad.

And one reason I get all my news on the WWW now.

If I read it on the intertubes, it must be true.

Quite the campfire.

This sounds a bit like those wacky Mormons posthomously baptizing Jews.

"She was one of us..."

I'm SHOCKED I tell you, shocked!

That was my take on it.

The queer 3% is actually 93%.

Why do they care so much about what someone does or "who" they are personally? 

face it, she got ****ed up and passed out and slid into the water more than likely

These DUmmies seriously don't realize that Tatchell is not exactly an unbiased source and likely wouldn't have a problem exploiting his friend's death to promote his agenda?

WTF????? I guess all that tabloid shit about her and the boyfriend Brown, were just a cover up, huh?

These people will do anything to make their heroes gay, won't they?

[Airwolf]

Why would she need to hide anything? Living and working in Hollywood would be the perfect place to be gay and no one would care even if they printed it or broadcasted it in the news. Especially nowdays with Madonna  and Lady Gaga practically falling all over themselves to support gay rights and making out on TV.

Attn primitives; this is why we laugh at how stupid you are.

The primitive says "if true," and then goes on to chastise society for something that may not even be the case.  Do you primitives realize how mindlessly idiotic you have to be to make that kind of leap?  Of course you don't.

I actually worked with someone in the 80's/90's, it was a part-time job that I had when I was also working a full-time job, the woman was from Newark originally and went to Whitney's Church, knew Whitney and Cissy very well, she told me way back then that Whitney and Robyn were partners. I personally think Whitney had to hide who she was but the OP at DU seems to leave something out, the black community tending to be intolerant of homosexuals, it was blacks coming out en masse to vote for Obama and voting against gay marriage in California. They can't talk about this though because you have 2 protected groups at a leftist board, what community wins in an argument involving those 2 groups? How do you have an open dialogue about this issue?

[Karin]

They get a might tetchy when you bring that up Bally.  If someone broaches the subject, everybody starts pounding on the alert button.  They really don't know what to do.   

Since we value the individual more than pigeon-holed groups, we don't have problems like that.  This guy might not like The Gheyness much, that guy doesn't really care.  To each their own, next topic.

He's a truly toxic man who would be more than happy to dump anybody and anything in order to further his agenda. I know several gay folk who despise him and his movement.

That said, I have to give some credit to a man who tried to arrest Robert Mugabe...

Do you mean a society where you can sit on your ass pretending that you are a male cat trapped in a human female's body while society foots your bills? Is that the type you talking about? If so, yeah, maybe one day we'll live in a society like that.

1) Christianity is also anti-murder, anti-rape, anti-adultery, anti-theft, anti-lying, anti-egoist and anti-materialist greed. I suppose if the Bible is aginst it you are for it?

Or maybe you just happen to have a sefl-serving axe to grind cross to nail.

2) I wonder how long you could get away with calling Islam "an anti-gay religion" at DU?

Whitney wanted to munch carpet but...she lost the phone # for Stanley-Steemer.
