Thanks, but I'm an atheist. It absolutely was Jerome Benton. He looked in my eyes and said it to me. I was there. It was January 1990.

And I would have been checking you out. I bet you were sharp! and you definitely had style!

I always suspected that every man that has been strongly affiliated with Prince was bisexual or gay I really wish you guys could see this documentary of Prince's original band members before he got big. Prior to the Time. This dude Pepe (prince's cousin's husband) and some other dude were talking about prince's assencion to stardom. The other dude looking like a homo-thug said, when Prince started to "blow up" he saw him walking into First Avenue with his "cute little pink pants", and "he was looking all cute and everything". He said this with a straight face. What straight man says this about another straight man. Is this only something unique to men who live in Minnesota?

Now, hey I have nothing personally against anyone who is gay. I guess thats why I kinda wish folks would just come out of the closet. It boggles my mind that some folks still cant see that Prince likes men and women. Listen to the lyrics people! Look at the photos...it's right in your face BAM! I betcha folks thought that that "Sexy MF'r that Prince was singing about was a woman. LOL

Ok first I'm not gonna use the description as gay cause these days "acting gay" is so far from what we think it is ive seen a lot of very masculine men loving men more than me.....anyway i digress, seems like anyone who delt with prince had a VERY blurred sexuality, never really knew what preference they were, the boys looked like girls in "blouses" and they all acted really ummmmm.....feminine....heck the only way we knew prince wasn't gay was the fact that he was such a whore....anyway who really knows, personally i dont even care if he was gay straight bi an alien or etc.....but your wife has a point with utcm ive always thought chris and tricky's relationship was a little questionable, what grown man is gonna chill in the bathroom with his homie while he naked in the tub, that just aint right lol....i'm just saying

due- you have NO idea what you are talking about. Lyrics from someone don't often have ANYTHING to do with their personal life. I don't know who what he is into. Neither do you. So stop the damn speculation. What does it matter in any direction!?

What if it was a proven fact that Prince sleeps with men? What if he just came out and said it, and tongue kissed a man on television. Would that make you any less of a fan because of it? It would not change my opinion of Prince in the least, because it's always been there. Folks just had to admit that their heroes are human, and may engage in things that they themselves may not be into. "Put your mouth out baby if you wanna get shot". LOL

BlaqueKnight said:

BlaqueKnight, I've read some of your post, and I like how you "hold it down" on the org. I think I sent you an email once. However dude, change your eyeglass prescription. Ok...Jermone is not gay...he just sleeps with men.

@ this thread, only on the org. Do-rags have nothing to do with being "gay". If a straight woman wears a scarf on her head does that mean she's gay? Do-rags have been around since the 50s. If you look at some of the black acapello singing groups in the 50s and early 60s, and how some of them used to wear their hair, in waves/some processed with chemical, it was the do-rag that would keep the waves in place, when they either covered it before performing or slept with a do-rag or net to keep the processed waves in place. Has nothing to do with being gay. I never got the impression that Jerome was gay or Morris for that matter, and I think some folks just want to find any reason these days to define another as gay.

I would still be a fan if he is gay but none of things you mentioned have happen and at this late date I doubt they will. P has stepped on so many people to get to the top if he is gay or bisexual someone would have outed him along time ago.
I am not sure even his lucky ass would have been able to prevent an "outing"

laurarichardson said:

You'd be surprised what money and signed contracts does. I mean really, even the women that he's been with do not talk much about their sex life, all they say was "he's a good lover", nothing about the details of any encounter, "under our favorite tree", "on the beach", "on a water bed"....nothing! All of his lovers both male and female are bound and gagged. The men can say abosultely nothing, maybe because they themselves don't want to be outed. It amazes me how yall cant see that a man who runs around in high heals, takes pictures gayer than any gay man would even dare to take, go onto the grammys in an outfit with his ass literally hanging out for the world to see, how can you not see this man sleeps with men. I think you call that blind loyalty.

Actually Robin Power said a lot on this board about Prince with a vast amount of detail. She then sent me an org note with more detail. So at least one of his lady friends has been running her mouth with little or no concern about a contract. A signed contract does not stop people from dropping a dime anonymously to the tabloids and with the internet we know have 24 hour gossip so once again I do not see P being immune to any of it.

Once again you are inserting men into the picture with no proof and I am beginning to think this might be wishful thinking on your part.

laurarichardson said:

How do you even know for a fact that was Robin Power....and please share her "org note" with us. She was pulling your gullible leg, so gullible that you cant see that any man who bends over with his ass literally hanging out in front of thousands if not millions is not toatally into women. End of topic! Wait, are you like 15 or something, because if so ...that explains it.

Robyn came to this board with her art work and herself in the pictures with the Art work. Do you think someone else was pretending to be her to promote her work? In addition, she talked about her girl group that was working with P and some of the other members joined her with their memories and posted some of the music. Robyn also talked about Artpal who is an orger and was a member of the music group. Artpal then joined in the discussion with some additional music she worked on with Robyn's group. Artpal also worked with a lot of Go-Go bands in the Washington D.C. area and she and I discussed this via orgnotes as I know a lot about the 80's and 90's Go-Go scene.
I got the impression from the post and conversations that all of these people were legit. We also had an old interview posted on the org that Robyn did around the Diamond and Pearls era where she talks quite a bit about P and groupies in the general.

Robyn also turns up interviews conducted by Vanity Fair back in the 90s about P and his woman. For whatever reason the magazine decided not to run the article and the author posted the article to her website.

Robyn also turns up in Ronnie Ro's "Have Gun Will Travel" a book about Deathrow records and Surge Knigth. Robyn was one of Dr,Dre's girls and the author talks about her hanging around P at Glam Slam back in the day. Robyn mentioned her deathrow connections on the org before this book came out.

I seem to have a lot of info for someone you think is 15 years old (LOL). I don’t know if P is bisexual but I can tell you from the things Robyn said he is a real pimp with the ladies and I do not know how he would have had time to fit dudes in to his schedule and keep it a secret for over 30 years.

My old boyfriend told me that when he was 19 Prince used to hang at the gay bars in MPLS (Cloud 9 and The Saloon). Back then everyone thought Prince was gay. According to him, Prince stole a boyfriend from him.

Later around the Gold era, I knew one of Prince's assistants. He was gay and used to bring his partner to Paisley parties and such. One time they were on the dance floor kind of grinding on each other. Prince came up to them and kind of joined them! Apparently he said something like, "You guys look like you are having a lot of fun!" Of course that doesn't mean much as far as defining Prince's sexuality, but it gives a clue to where Prince's head might be at. No-one should make assumptions. No-one should get made if anyone speculates.

laurarichardson said:

Prince is bisexual, whether you wish to acknowledge it or not. And Robyn said that Prince was a "pimp with the ladies" wow...that something that I'm sure none of us knew. Like i said before, there are many reasons why Prince has not been outted. Contractual reasons, as well as maybe some men themselves do not wish to be outed. As far as the private org notes that she sent, did she tell you complete details about all of Princes sex life? If it looks like a Duck and it Walks like a Duck....baby it's a Duck. This concludes our discussion on the matter because neither of us can pull someone out of our azz to admit that he did or did not sleep with a man.

On Carmen Electra's episode of MTV's "Behind the Music" Carmen made the
face when asked how Prince was in bed. So, that kinda dismisses the first part of your comment.
Obviously, P can't be paying that much for people's silence.
The truth is even if Prince himself came out in confirmed that he was gay or bisexual, no one would care.

THAT'S SOME CRAP! Seriously no offense but do you realize that when Prince first came out it was the 70s and virtually everybody in the music biz was dressing that way? You either had on wild colors and shiny clothes or you had bell bottoms and feather boas. Just look up any rock star from the mid to late 70s and early 80s....they were all "cute and everything". The only thing that's in our faces as BAM is the controversy...that's what sells! Prince has reached his peak as far as fame and money goes so he no longer has to dress "cute" and sing about "sex". It's sad that people still speculate and assume that a singer/musician is performing their autobiography. Often what an artists sings or raps about is not necessarily what's going on in their lives but what's going on the lives of their fans. He's talking about YOU!

Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody wore high heals, and dressed like Prince in the 70's 80's or 90's. Liberace (spelling) and Elton John may fit in that category, but no individual who is African American and lives in the United States of America has ever dressed like Prince. End of topic. Moderator....you can now lock this topic up too. Cause I'm done.
