Religion killed Whitney??? This would be right along the lines of Prince dying because of his religious anti-surgery beliefs.

Unauthorized bio docu on Whitney Houston is incredibly sad. On one level, it sounds kind of like a salacious tabloid piece, but on the other, to me, someone who grew up steeped in fundamentalist anti-gay shit, and who met a lesbian couple who swear up and down that they personally saw her frequenting a lesbian dive back in their college days, it sounds like all the pieces fit. I keep thinking about how over the top her award show award acceptance speeches always were with "Thank you God almighty" professions. She REALLY seemed to be trying too hard, along the lines of "Thou dost protest too much." It's all very sad to me. I realize it will be called purely speculative and dismissed as such. I can't dismiss it, because it adds up too well. Read this article. What do you think?

I used to know someone who claimed to have personal knowledge that Whitney was Lesbian or Bi, but that was very long ago and far away.

Me too. It was "pre-Bobby Brown"

We don't really need to get into big arguments about musical style or artist preferences. That really wasn't the point. Whitney was a huge pop star, like George Michael, Prince, and others. ( She personally wasn't my favorite, either, though I realize her expressed religiousness in public was partly what turned me off.) The point was the question of how religious cultural indoctrination plays a role in personal tragedy like hers.

I agree with the article's conclusion: "We may never know all the demons that took this internationally renowned pop star down a torturous and troubling road of self-destruction, but one demon not frequently mentioned is homophobia."

I was nor am a fan of Whitney. I paid her practically no attention at all.
