Whitney Houston was 'secret lesbian'

Whitney Houston

Some of Whitney Houston's friends, including gay rights activist Peter Tatchell have said that the singer took to drugs and drinks because she was hiding her true sexuality.

Tatchell even insisted her marriage to Bobby Brown was a smokescreen, and that she was "only really happy" in the 1980s when she was with a "lesbian partner".

"It's important to tell the truth about this aspect of her life," the Daily Star quoted him as saying.
