The Late Whitney Houston's Mother Cissy Houston Tells Oprah Winfrey She Would Not Have Wanted Her Daughter To Be Gay

Legendary gospel singer, Cissy Houston, did an interview with talk show host, Oprah Winfrey and gave candid answers surrounding her late daughter, Whitney Houston, who died of a drug overdose and heart attack a year ago. Her mother stated she found out about Whitney's drug use in the late 1980s and was very angry when she discovered it. Sadly, drug use is commonplace in the entertainment and modeling industries, shaving years off many people's lives.

When Winfrey asked Houston's mother if would have wanted her daughter Whitney to be gay, due to rumors and her close relationship with assistant Robyn Crawford, she flat out stated "no." My friend that worked at EMI Records used to state Whitney and Robyn did indeed have a gay relationship, but she left it behind for Bobby Brown, whom she fell in love with.

Some people don't get it, Houston really fell in love with Brown, who wasn't always in trouble or disheveled in appearance. At the beginning of his career with New Edition and for a few years into his solo career, Brown was considered a heartthrob, who dominated the charts and was not in trouble with the law. He was the top male R&B artist of the late 1990s, with a string of big urban hits. Many women liked him. But as with all drug problems, it grew out of control and brought him to rock bottom.

Whitney's mother did not like troublesome Brown for her daughter, but she didn't want gay Robyn for her either. Cissy Houston's response in the interview regarding the gay question as it relates to Whitney surprised Winfrey. However, Cissy Houston is a Christian and the Bible refers to the gay lifestyle as sin.

Hollywood needs to leave people's religion alone and stop trying to change it through movies, television and music. Being gay is your choice and you have that right. However, you do not have the right to force it on others and dictate what their religions should be, as Christianity and Islam forbid homosexuality.

British MP, David Davies, stated during an interview that most do not want their children to be gay and faced criticism from the gay community for stating so. However, what he stated is true, because as tolerant as some straight people are towards homosexuality, no heterosexual truly wants their child to be gay. It is not out of hatred, but it's just not something people want. He was telling the truth.

There are parents who have been devastated and broken down in loud sobs upon finding out their child is gay. It came as a disappointment to many parents, who have been heartbroken over it for years. It's just not what straight parents want for their kids and there's nothing wrong with them wanting their offspring to be heterosexual.
