U need a chill pill man. As if being gay is the worst thing in the world. I think it's not so much a question of Prince being gay or not anyomore, but our own attitudes about homosexuality and it's quite obvious there's still a lot of homophobia in this world including among Prince fans as well, unfortunately. I wonder if these Prince fans would b still around if Prince DID come out that he was gay years ago. U need 2 examine urselves.

See - now that's all I was trying to say . Thanx.

rainbowchild said:

If Prince did say he was gay it wouldn't change my opinion of him. I love his music,always have and I do have love for him whatever his sexual prefrence might be. It's the same with any friends of mine, if they told me they were gay I would still have love for them like I always have. I think my open attitude about most things in life came early on listening to Prince's music and examining the words and just thinking about a lot of things. I was a teenager when I started listening to his music,so I guess I was a bit impressionable but I still had a strong mind/opinion and made my own choices.

trc1 said:

come on now, think about that....

babooshleeky said:

What about that?

I hope Prince makes another album just for trc1: The Rainbow Flag Children.

trc1 said:

Not if you're gay it isn't.



Erm, anybody who's gay I guess.

Personally, the thought of having sex with a woman disgusts me - quite what anybody sees in those horrible fishy front-bottoms that bleed every now and then, yuk! But hey, that's just me.

But anyway, back to Prince and his obvious, hidden gay tendencies

trc1 said:

And what's ur definition of a real man?

rainbowchild said:

Well, let me see. If I need to define that, then you got on the wrong boat.

I haven't been here long, but I never imagined there'd be anti-gay people here. They have to be trolls, right?

And I can see where people would think Prince is not gay, because of all the women he's been with, but how you could rule out bi is beyond me. Willing and Able is practically a bi anthem, for one.

JPMcGee said:

Then a troll I am.

Where do these people come from? It's as if the Christian Coalition, Jerry Falwell, the Moral Majority have sent out campers. On a Prince site nonetheless! These people should be on a Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man or Anita Bryant site. What bigots.

JPMcGee said:

Interesting lyrics...thanx 4 pointing that out!

rainbowchild said:

That's probably my favorite song from D&P, and not because of its possible subject matter. The music is unusual for Prince (sounds South African?), and I love the way he slips in and out of falsetto. The Steeles sound as good as ever, and even Tony M. is nicely integrated, for once.

Ask the 100's of women who are all 9's & 10's....he has plowed if he is Gay.

Sexuality is fluid, not rigid. You can be gay and still have sex with thousands of women. Doesn't prove anything. In fact, lots of gay men end up being whores with the women in an attempt to "prove" that they are straight. Of course, I'm not saying that this applies to Prince. I doubt he's gay, but I also doubt that he's NEVER had sexual relations with a guy.

Exactly! They sound just like this lady.....

herb55105 said:

Exactly! Are people really that simplistic and small-minded when it comes to sexuality. Would it really rock somebody's world if he shared an experience with a man. Get over yourselves. Sexuality is too complex for such narrow mindedness.

herb55105 said:

I bet he has...the way he "answered" that one question during the Chris Rock interview about his androgynous image in the early days made me think twice, of course he said it was an act, but just the way he answered translated to me as "Yeah, I was a little bit gay." If you don't know what I'm referring to...well...you know where to find the video, see if you agree...

Definitely, it would b quite naive 2 think otherwise. Of course, ultimately it's none of our business but he's a celebrity so that's part of the deal: we're interested in his private affairs-- just as we want 2 know who he's dating, if anyone. I even believe that a highly evolved individual (by this I mean, having an open mind about things) will have no problems having sexual relations with both men and women and do other crazy sex stuff as long as its consensual, and Prince strikes me as one of those. That's what actually attracted me 2 his music in the first place because of his liberated mindset about sexuality, especially his music in the 80's. Of course that all changed when he became a JW; still a man is a man, and now that he's single, he still has sexual needs and I'm sure he's meeting those needs somehow.

Religion has nothing to do with what someone does behind closed doors. Fundamentalist religions have notoriously freaky members.

Haystack said:

I so agree.... I've never seen a more 'gay' username on the org.

So, 200+ posts later, is there a consensus?

Is Prince "Straight" or "Straight w/a side-order of Gay"?

LOL @ the 2 posts above

Now I am really angry. Why is it that "nurse" can start a thread like this loudly proclaiming Prince is not gay in UPPERCASE letters, and it goes on for 8 pages? Yet, I start a thread on why people care one way or another, and try to provide scientific evidence that being gay isn't this horrible disease, with articles from medical journals/magazines that are not tabloids....

Basically trying to allow people to read and maybe change their views and learn to tolerate, if that's all they can allow themselves to do. "MY" thread gets locked. So, I'm being told to
.....while others are allowed to call gay people disgusting, preach about how wrong it is, and quote scriptures trying to prove it.



This is really fair.

noimageatall said:

I noticed that too...I did not read all the stuff you put on that thread but I posted there...it was too early for me to read it all then..

I don't know why this thread is not locked yet, and your's was???

oh well...

babooshleeky said:

Likewise, my thread, "Is Prince ever coming out of the closet?" was locked 2 by the same moderator-- luv4u-- saying it was "pointless". I guess if that moderator doesn't agree with ur thread she "locks" it!! Talk about censorship!!
