(1,989 posts)No...I sound like it was tacky for Peter Tachell to attempt to make a buck on the back of a dead woman as her family prepared to bury her. I think most people will think it's tacky.
I would think it was tacky if something happened to Peter and later someone else decided we should search through his personal history, hoping for something to make to do a few interviews on. I wouldn't think very much of anyone who decided that his death was an opportunity to look intellectually relevant.
I mean...why would anyone interview Peter Tachell about Whitney Houston? Why would anyone write about Peter Tachell and Whitney Houston? There was no real relationship between the people. He's standing on an corner far away, looking into a situation, wondering how he could personally benefit. So, we have these rumors. He's a gay activist. Bingo. Now, he can insert himself into the conversation.
I think his behavior, in this particular instance, is tacky.
