This was a typo. It should have read:

"Before the hip hop phoenomena, gay people could spot trade out just by looking AT them."

Excellent typo!

And you are man enough to admit it.
There are those so-called straight guys that are afraid of the fact they are attracted to Prince because he is so fine, their own homophobia - the fear and uncertainty they feel about their own sexuality - is what causes them to lash out and label Prince gay, when it is potentially themselves.
I know some guys who say they would marry Prince because he is so pretty but it is just a way to express their fondness and appreciation of Prince, the complete package, and they are man enough to say it and not give a damn what anyone thinks of them for it.

Those are straight men. They are making a joke. They are only giving him a compliment that he looks good. It is no different than when a woman tells another woman she is so pretty.

There are some ignorant straight men that would only use hateful words against Prince. But ALL trade will ALWAYS use hateful words against him. They think it makes them look more masculine.

Yes. This answers the question doesn't it? This is where it all comes from. BUT why does my mother in law keep insisting to me that "Prince is a poofter" when she loves Ricky Martin?????

I'm lost now.

Hi this is my 1st post.

I had to get in on this. I can’t believe some of the threads on this subject. Prince wore the butt out on the MTV award show because he had it like that. The yellow suite with the butt out was slammin. Till this day it is still being talked about. He didn’t look stupid he looked freakin sexy. He is defiantly aware of the comments being made about him. That’s one of the things that make him so special. He doesn’t give a dam about what others think because he knows what he’s about. Many books have been written about him and no one has mentioned him being gay. It’s easy for one to judge him on his appearance because of his small frame. He can wear whatever he wants to wear and look good. Look at his dress appearance now.

Hell no P is not gay. He wears the heels for height. Yes he's extremely gorgeous and knows it. He has the body that everyman wish they had and to top it all he looks so dam sexy in everything he puts on his body. On the Today show with Matt Lauer he said he just can’t help but be sexy. What’s wrong with that? If you got it flaunt it. You can believe he’s got it. You have never heard anyone say that Prince was with another man. If he was gay the tabloids would have jumped on that a long time ago. Prince is not ashamed of his beautiful body. All the books that have been written about him, all the women that have been in love with him, something would have slipped out by now. Trust and believe that. I can relate to his style. Totally Lovin it. I remember reading back in the day that he did a lot of things to draw attention, and that he did and he still draws attention. We are into our Prince. We care how he looks, talk, walk, dress, sing, write, and perform, how his music sells, the whole nine yards. He is truly our PRINCE

Always has been Controversy

Lovin Prince more and more each day.

Prince! You’re so fine, filthy cute and U know

Who cares?!
if he gay, u gonna stop listening 2 him?
if he straight u gonna stop?
Cha!

Damn right and well said...if you don't act like everyone else then something must be wrong.
Always happened to me as a kid...just because I didn't play sports or do this or that then something had to be wrong.

Oh yeah and I also did like to make up my own styles

I think they had Prince in mind when they came up with the term "Metrosexual"

* A modern man who has adopted what was traditionally perceived as feminine traits
* Metrosexual: (noun) A straight, urban male eager to embrace and /or show off his feminine side, especially when it comes to pricy haircuts, designer suits, and skin care products.
* Tricky word for a guy who is actually straight, but everyone thinks he's gay because he is very much in touch with his feminine side.
* Straight guy who seems to be gay because he practices the dressing and/or grooming habits of a stereotypical homosexual.
* A heterosexual man who is very much in touch with his feminine side, and is not scared to show it. He can appreciate upscale things like Gucci bags, Prada wallets, etc.

personnally i thought prince was gay b4 i started gettin in 2 him. this was because of several things. imagine u c a man walking down the high street wearing high heels, inches of makeup, a frilly shirt and tight trousers u will immediately think they r gay. not that all gay men dress like that obviously. prince gets away with doing this i guess because he is an entertainer and a showman

sometimes "creative and artistic" people can get labled as gay or weird because they are
doing their own thing.

ocadv said:

People who want to be gay?? Yeah, I know loads of them

I'm gay and have no desire for P to be also having never fancied him. I have never met a gay man who does either - they all think he's a dog, whereas I think he looks great but just doesn't float my boat.

And furthermore every guy back in school hated P because they thought he was gay, and if they were all gay too then I sure lucked out there!

Think a little - it doesn't hurt

did you ever notice when Prince is asked about being gay or homosexuality , He laughs it off and says "hey whatever they wanna think" ..come on please this man is about as gay as George W bush ok..he has women throwing themselves at him..hes been married twice. hes never, ever been seen with a man before. sorry but this is what happens when people who dont know someone do..is Prince gay? sheesh shut up already..Prince aint gay ok.

Probably been said already but...


...they probably think he's gay because he's extremely gifted and eccentric....and beacause they're stupid.....or because they're jealous because he has been with some of the most attractive women on the face of the planet...

ditto 2 that!!!!

HisRoyalBadness07 said:

I don't think he's gay, but the number of women he's been with don't prove a damn thing re. his heterosexuality. I brought up Rock Hudson before -google him and see what I'm talking about if you don't already know.


BTW, it's getting really annoying when people say, "I know he's straight" "He can't be gay" "He's been married, so I know he's straight." etc. You can have an opinion, or an idea about what he is and what he isn't, but unless you know him personally, you don't actually know what he is -gay, straight, or bi. So saying you know something like that for sure is just silly.

Hmmmm let's see, certain outfits & the makeup. Personally i do not think he is gay. He just wants to make people wonder.

Check out the length of this thread and it demonstrates what P accomplished by alternating the fashions from flamboyant to classy. It piques everyones interest, keeps them guessing and, once again, shows the degree of his intelligence. In the end, he sells more music because of it. The same as giving away the CD's at the show gets the music circulating and sells more music. The man is brilliant! Also, the bottom line is, whether he dresses flayboyant or classy, he comes off as sexy, sexy, sexy and he knows it! I really admire his sense of humor and I view the whole gay question that he raises with people as being very crafty on his part. Those ass pants were PRICELESS evidence of all of the above.

If all I knew of Prince was Purple Rain and Diamonds & Pearls, I'd think he was gay too.

i have all those qualities lolly

yeah...Im gonna have to say no...Prince is not gay. He's the epitome of creativity and in order for all of that to come out the right way, you can't be closed minded or one-sided. U have to take from what we consider to be feminine traits as well as masculine traits. I think that's something that only other musically "rooted" individuals understand. All of that put together is what makes him so much more attractive than others. And about the clothes...I truly believe that Prince appreciates a woman's beauty, style...all of that. Her "enchante" if you will . He appreciates it to the point that he enhances himself with it...now the heels...that's just a height thing. But then again, if prince was 6'0 do you think he would still wear heels? I don't know about all that. But I do believe he appreciates the beauty of a woman, period. He is attracted to those things that identify with women. So again, he's not gay. To be called feminine though, Prince is tough. He's still a "man". Maybe not a thug (lol), but he's got all the "right" qualities that are needed to keep a woman from feeling like she's with another woman. I think he's a balanced individual. Heels and all...lol

You hit the nail dead on the head! When I first heard that term, I immediately thought...Prince!

[b]Hip Hop gets its style from the so called hard mother fuckers that come out of prison.Styles such as the pants hanging 3 inches off the ass is a homosexual act displayed by gay men in prison who are "available" for sex.

80% of all men who go to prison will have "gay" sex and this is now another cause of the "down-low" effect in the Black community because 50% of all Black males will eventually go to prison.

The MK ULTRA experement known as hip-hop has now claimed another aspect of the Black community.

that's true.

On 21st November 1982, [Prince] used an interview, published by the Los Angeles Times, to scotch some rumors: "One: My real name is Prince. It's not something I made up. Two: I'm not gay. Three: I'm not Jamie Starr." .....here you go, words from the man himself.
