news.PinkPaper.comMonday, 13 February 201213 February 2012Post your comment Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has expressed his sadness at the death of Whitney Houston – and claimed that she was happiest during a lesbian relationship.The comments came the following day after Houston, 48, was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel.“Whitney Houston RIP. She was happiest and at her peak in the 1980s, when she was with her female partner. They were so loved up and joyful together,” Tatchell wrote on social networking site Facebook. “It’s important to tell the truth about this aspect of her life. Colluding with the cover-up of her same-sex relationship is not right."He is referring to Houston's rumour-sparking friendship with Robyn Crawford, whom she described as the "sister she never had".Their relationship was dogged with lesbian rumours, which they always denied.“I met Whitney and her partner at the Reach Out & Touch HIV rally in London in 1991, organised by Vernal Scott. Whitney spoke very movingly in support of people with HIV, at a time when many other stars kept their distance.“She was pressured into the Bobby Brown marriage. It was a disaster. Her life started going downhill soon afterwards. Perhaps her inability to accept and express her same-sex love contributed to her substance abuse and decline?“Whitney’s death is a tragic loss of a great vocal talent,” Tatchell added.The comments have been met with a mixed reaction. Some have described it as a "cheap shot" while another user wrote: "You are posthumously outing WH, really?"However, others backed Tatchell - saying: "It's not a cheap shot to recount an actual event in which you were a participant. Peter told his story free of innuendo and was expressing his sadness at the death of another human being." In his memoir, Houston's ex-husband Bobby Brown once implied that their marriage was a smokescreen for Houston's alleged bisexuality.Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.
