http://shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=23226 In death, Michael Jackson is proving just as enigmatic as he was alive. His death seems to have raised more questions than answers: What caused his death? Who will get custody of his children? Would the fifty-year-old Jackson have made it through the 50 concerts of his "This is It" tour? It seems fitting that the King of Pop has left us questioning even what the little we thought we knew about him; after all, in life he was as much a conundrum as a superstar. For the queer community, one of the biggest questions remains, was he one of us? Was Jackson gay? Was he transgender?
In life, some people were so confused by Jackson's appearance and gender presentation they turned to online answer sites, asking, "What Was Michael Jackson's Gender?" That WikiAnswers offered, "Male," while the most popular Yahoo answer suggested, "Eunuch," also reveals the lack of agreement on the subject.
