Dont think so-
Prince could easily do the Madonna/Kylie/robbie thing and embrace the gay community - (saved Kylie when all else deserted her),
He never has and never will.
He would probably be more popular if he did - considering the power the pink euro has.

Next time a Jehova's Witness knocks on your door, say you're gay and check out the reaction/speed they run away, if Prince is dead serious about that Religion, it's a pretty safe bet he'd share their actions.

make of that what you will.

im making nothing of this...many JW's are non judgemental of gays. The bottom rule is, people arent the judges of sinners...jehovah god is.

"He's gay, used to mean he's happy. Nowadays, happy ain't allowed" - Chaos and Disorder.


I know that I'm going to sound like a dimwit here, but I've never quite worked out what Prince was trying to say with that line. Anybody know?



'Gay' was a word used in the late 19th/early 20th century as a synonym for the word 'happy'. The line "Nowadays 'happy' ain't allowed", alludes to the fact that gay service men are forbidden from remaining in the military. This is exemplified by the marching sound you hear in the background while that line's being sung.

Very easy to annoy people on the org.
I was waiting for the first self indulgent politically correct idiot to reply to my tongue in cheek post,
self righteous campaigners like yourself usually cant spot that.
I remember reading the old org posts daily for a good laugh(our post was very funny)

Hope you get lots of support.

PS - If you remember correctly prince was always struggling against his darker alter ego.


I'm a self righteous,politically correct,self indulgent campaigner now, huh?
Fuck that!!
I'm such a dick-here was me thinking that you posted your reply on a PUBLIC forum, where it was open for discussion.
...oh!-, you DID!

Thanks for that. I knew that Gay used to mean happy, but I didn't realise what the rest of the line meant.

So there are lots of gay orgers then, we have established.

Such a melting pot of cultural diversity.

What a load of crap! If I'm good enough to serve in your army then I'm good enough regardless of my sexuality.
