Human Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has paid tribute to Whitney Houston on Twitter, and claimed that the late star was at her happiest when in a lesbian relationship.
He claimed that she was pressured into marriage with Bobby Brown and never fully acknowledged her sexuality because of her religious beliefs.
He wrote: "#Whitney #Houston was happiest with #lesbian partner in 1980s. Pressured into #BobbyBrown marriage. It was downhill from then on #feminist
"I met #WhitneyHouston & her female partner in 1991. She spoke at Reach Out & Touch vigil in support of people with HIV. Bravo #Whitney. RIP"
When one of his followers suggested that the woman in question was in fact a "singing partner", he responded: "No, her love partner. She loved a woman. But could not fully accept / express those feelings. Plus church pressure."
He was met with frustration by several angry fans, one of whom said: "Shame on you. Who are you to say if Whitney was happy with Bobby? Did you meet them? I did and they WERE happy! Grow up!"
Tatchell answered: "If Whitney was so happy with Bobby why did she turn to substance abuse?"
It's been revealed that footage of Houston with Brown will not be released as previously planned.
