Whitney Houston's 2000 OUT Magazine Interview
Happy Pride, gay !! We’re kicking off a month of queer pop culture history with a deep dive into the revealing Whitney Houston profile from the May 2000 issue of Out Magazine.
Written by Barry Walters and photos by David LaChapelle, this was Whitney’s first and only sit-down interview with a gay publication.
"Yeah, this is Girlfriend's first big G-A-Y interview, something queer guys and gals from Kentucky to Kalamazoo have been craving since we first found Cissy Houston's daughter, the cousin of Dionne Warwick, calling to us across the airwaves in the mid '80s, singing about savin' all her love--for somebody. There's so much more to Houston's connection to gay culture than her much speculated upon sexual orientation, and with the release of her double-disc Greatest Hits comes an occasion to reappraise the omnipresent sister we've watched break records and survive trends since she became a near-instant superstar at age 21."
