Once a megastar, Whitney Houston is now a tabloid "crackhead." But when I looked for someone to blame, I kept finding the diva herself.
  • What About the Bi Subtext?

    At the risk of oversimplifying, it is an open secret in the queer community that Whitney's real problem is that she gave up the love of her life for her career. When you sacrifice an authentic self for fame and fortune, a crack habit is probably one of the more effective ways to numb the misery.

    She is an astounding talent and she's either going to die or recover completely. I don't hold out for her coming out of the closet. But who knows? I do expect her to get clean, come back with a vengeance and give a big grand fuck you to all the gawkers and rubber neckers who reported her demise.
