Was Whitney Houston LGBTQ+? Here's what we know about the music legend's sexuality
"In 2009, Tina Brown claims the artist has had a series of steamy same sex affairs which her brother, Bobby Brown, Houston's husband, was allegedly aware of. She told the National Enquirer, 'It's no secret. I've seen her with a woman a couple of times. They were walking around without shirts on when I came in the house.'"
"Just two days after her untimely death, on 13 February 2012, veteran LGBTQ+ campaigner Peter Tatchell paid tribute to Whitney Houston, writing: '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.'"
"'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,' Mr. Tatchell continued, emphasizing the need to acknowledge her true relationships."
Whitney Houston was a passionate ally to the LGBTQ+ community during her life. After her death in 2012, discussions about her sexuality intensified, with claims of same-sex relationships emerging. In 2009, her sister-in-law alleged that Houston had several lesbian affairs, which her husband Bobby Brown was aware of. Peter Tatchell, a veteran LGBTQ+ activist, suggested that Houston was pressured into her marriage with Brown and highlighted her happiness with a female partner in the 1980s. These revelations have sparked debates about her true sexual orientation.
