(1,989 posts)I think these people just want a moment in the spotlight. Whitney Houston said she wasn't gay. You'd think that would be enough. Now, with her family grieving and her body barely in the grave, the rumors start.
Me personally, if her "friends" are saying these things after her death, even though she said she wasn't, then that was part of her problem. With all the money she could ever need, real friends can be hard to find.
As for Peter Tatchell...I don't know quite what to say. Except, I heard he's straight. He's not a gay man. But, he get's more attention if he pretends to be one. Who told me? His friends, of course. He was happiest when he was with some woman from his past.
I just made it all up. But, at least he's still alive and could respond for himself if he gave a rat's butt about anything I would say about him.
What a tacky, tacky, man. She was clearly a troubled young woman. Whatever her demons, she's dead now. I'm not surprised when companies take the prices of her CDs up to make a few extra dollars. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when other vultures come out to use her fame and downfall for their own profit. Which I assume is really behind Tatchell. He's found a new way to make a buck. A famous face and voice that will attract him a bit of attention as he tries to sell the next book.
Gay or straight, she was an awesome singer and loved by many, including many of those in her black church.
RIP, Whitney Houston. Best of wishes to her family and friends.
