This is why i would never want to meet Prince.

I'd probably burn all his CD's if he ignored me if i was trying to talk to him.

Wow. This sounds like a story that anyone could make up. There are hardly any supporting details or specifics. A "friend" you say ?
Prince talks to Wendy and Lisa. Prince recently shared the stage with Elton John in London. Seems to me like it'd be a hard go in show business to avoid talking to anyone who is gay. Not saying you are wrong, just that the example you gave is very vague.

[Edited 2/5/10 8:07am]


I'm being vague out of respect for my friend... and there's way more to the story that I can't say.
Anyway... Prince can be a douchebag.


I understand you wanting to respect your friend. Still, this doesn't help me as an audience to your claims/story to only have half the story. How did he know your friend was gay?

Prince can be a douchebag (we all can) does that automatically make him homophobic?

It's a bullshit story. When you say it, doesn't it taste like a greasy coin in your mouth?

are you sure your friend is telling u the truth?


I'm sure he's telling me the truth. He's worked for years with alot of big American music stars and he said this was the worst.
He's also a huge Prince fan. When he said to Prince ' I've always loved your music'.Prince didn't reply .. he just turned his head away.

It has to be said Prince did interact with everyone else in these meetings.


Homophobic or not, at the very least Prince was simply rude. A simple response of "Thank You" wouldn't be too much to ask ? confused

Not convincing at all. Saying otherwise is just blind.


Thanks for the link to that article - I had not read that story before.

Ok, so Prince appears to be suffering from institutionalised homophobia - a dark by-product from his relatively new-found secular belief. I think it would be safe to say that Prince didn't feel this way before his acceptance of the "JW truth". It is lamentable that someone so ostensibly open and liberal, as Prince was for a majority of his life, now appears to be ultra-conservative.

Why the sudden change of view Mindflux?? I totally agreed with ur first posting. I find that article highly questionable. I read it 4 the first time & thought,`Is that it?` He could also have meant str8 people being promiscuous or perverts who are interested in children or animals. I`m gay & I dont believe in gay marraige either as IMO why would gay people want 2 emulate str8 relationships? Isnt P entitled 2 an opinion? In this context if he says he was misquoted I believe him!

For those mentioning Prince's wardrobe being gay-compatible--well, uh, good of you to play on the stereotypes of how gay men dress, but that doesn't show an absence of homophobia (it merely suggests he doesn't conform to the societal constructions of gender).

Yes, but the original post said, "Prince would not talk to him directly because he was gay."

I only meant that Prince not speaking to "his friend" is hardly evidence of anything..including homophobia. If we follow the faulty logic suggested (Prince doesn't talk to gay people) then, how could he possibly talk to Elton John? This story has "more holes than a golf course."

Someone mentioned that Prince may be "ultra conservative". I pointed out Prince's clothes/makeup/heels simply because it is not conservative at all. Wasn't talking about how gay men dress, but thanks for the quick assumptions.

Before Prince contacts the org and has this thread locked, can I just say... maybe your friend spits when he talks. Straight or gay, it's gross.

do you know that BECAUSE your friend is gay Prince didn't speak to him directly?

strange coincidence perhaps, we've all heard the stories about Prince not quite acting right in social situations with his staff.

I did not direct my comment toward you; it reads "for those". It was more in reference to Mindflux' remark. Assumptions asunder!

And my Eminem remark was for play; don't be so defensive!
Peace.

no need for this comment. Beside most homosexuals have their own gadar. They don't need to speculate on such pointless trivialities.

Any thread that uses the word "homo-something" isn't the same as "Prince is gay".

Re-read the original post and discover that the topic is actually the exact opposite.

But yeah, this topic can safely be lock
it can go nowhere from here other than reach the 1000th reply.

That same tour ELTON JOHN was on-stage with Prince. Quite clearly, this was at Prince's invitation. Elton is one of the most famous homosexuals on the planet.

About a year or so ago, there was footage of Prince entering Elton John's AID's charity benefit. There he was greeted by both Elton and his married partner David Furnish.

Perhaps Prince just took a dislike to your friend?

Let's continue to judge a man we do not know based on hearsay. It says more of what we want Prince to be, instead of who he really is.

I personally think that "homophobic," is a senseless word.

The only thing to be afraid of is a tasteless homosexual breaking in a painting one wall sweet potato and the other muddy olive. cool

Prince? Almost certainly: deeply conservative sell out to the Good Book.

Bob Marley, now: definitely.

This all does remind me of the time that Bob Marley met Prince backstage after a gig in... Los Angeles?

Don Taylor, Marley's manager, introduced the two.

Prince was wearing suspenders, I think, and high heels. He put his hand out and Marley, unreconstructed Jamaican homophobe, turned on his heels.

Ta ta. Wouldn't shake his hand. Or so the story goes.
