The outing of the late pop star and actress Whitney Houston as bisexual is raising some frequently asked questions about whether it's ever acceptable to reveal such information when the person in question is dead.

Houston was outed Wednesday by her ex-husband, singer Bobby Brown, in an interview with Us Weekly about his new memoir, Every Little Step.

“I know,” he told the magazine about Houston's relationship with Robyn Crawford, her former assistant. “We were married for 14 years. There are some things we talked about that were personal to us.”

Rumors about her sexuality followed Houston throughout her career, but she always denied that she was lesbian or bisexual.
