When I first saw Prince I really didn't think he was gay. I though t he was just experiencing different things at that time.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

first time i ever saw him (well first time i distinctly remember) was
his video for "i wish u heaven" and i just thought he was different n
cool and that song sounded unlike anything else on the tv at the time

it made me a fan. never really questioned his sexuality at all in the
beginning. lovesexy was the first LP i ever bought by any artist lol.
and even the cover didn't make me think he was gay. perhaps i was too
young and naïve back then to even really understand the "concept" of
being gay.

just listened to the music and thought he was the best musician ever,
that was enough for me.

to be honest, i never doubted his sexuality until the first time i've
stumbled onto the org. even if you are convinced the man is straight,
the org will make you doubt yourself.

it's org indoctrination all the "is he gay", "did he slip his cheesy
whotsit to Jerome?" threads.

anywho, i'm getting way of course here. i just never thought he could
be gay because of his clothes and the way he acted.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I never ever thought Prince was gay. A little flamboyant maybe but gay no. But all his songs were about women and god and I just knew that is what he most cared about. biggrin

It's always the weird ones who become hot. Michael Jackson, Prince....I'm surprised Marilyn Manson hasn't became Top Of The Pops.

No,just very unique and playfull...I love Prince's ability to question society's
ever-so-boring role for men.He is just being himself and knows who he is:so
there's allways plenty of room for experimenting!

Marilyn Manson's brand of weird is all an act and most people know that. Michael's and Prince's strangeness is all their own.

Keep in mind that's no indicator. wink

Not saying Prince is gay, but Elton John was once married to a woman, and Rosie O'Donnell has kids....so there ya go.

I did, but so did he. "Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? Controversy..." smile

I'm kiddin of course, but I was 3 years old. What did I know from gay? I know it was enough to prevent Bob Marley from workin with his ass, thus aborting what could've been a legendary collaboration. Then again, if it turned out like What the Fuss, it's no big loss.

The first time I saw a picture of Prince was on the cover of the "Let's Pretend We're Married" single. I didn't think he was gay, just freaky.

He didn't look gay 2 me or my friends
at the time when Purple Rain came out.
Insteed people thought he was very macho with all the sex-talk
and rock-look.
If he ever looked gay it must have been during the TMBGITW video.
I don't know why this question keeps coming up here???
Because he looked freaky,special and excentric sometimes?

the first time i saw Prince and really paid attention to him was when i saw the "Little Red Corvette" video. i wasn't quite sure WHAT to make of him at first, to tell you the truth. he was definitely unlike anybody i'd seen before. i was only about 14 at the time.

i do remember thinking the purple coat was very cool and that he had gorgeous gorgeous eyes, and that i'd never before seen a man wearing (and dancing like that) in such high heels.

his sexuality never even entered my mind that first time i saw him, or as i became interesed in him and his music. i was just intrigued by him and impressed by the music, by his dancing, and by how amazing looking i thought he was.

and then when i started listening to his albums and learning more about him, i definitely never thought him to be gay, what with all the sexy lyrics and obvious obsession with women, and the women with whom he was rumored to be romantically linked. in fact, despite the feminine characteristics and all the lace and makeup and stuff, i came to view Prince as more male and sexy and sexually interesting than any other human male i'd ever come across. smile

OH GEESE..... Ya Big OLE NUT! lol The funny thing is I NEVER THOUGHT HE WAS GAY. Look at PURPLE RAIN That's MACHO. It is the FANS who SWEAR he is Cause of his ASS Shit and his ACT. They even said Shelia and Patti were Gay O.K. so what can I tell you? I actually heard this from Gay Fans who SWEAR this Shit is True. I never saw it. I think it's all BULL. Maybe they had MANAGE A TROIS. I think the thing is his Lyrics and Falsetto on some songs and plus he Did sing/write it for FEMALES. But I understand it. Maybe the ONSTAGE PERSONAE will DO ANYTHING,but the OFF Stage is ANOTHER STORY. WHO KNOWS. All I Know is He's GORGEOUS and I COULDN'T GIVE a DAMN. LOVE HIM Any OLE Way as long as he's PRINCE. And his Fans should FEEL the SAME and I THINK they DO! People who AREN'T FANS ALL think he's GAY.... He is FUCKING EROTIC and I KNOW he is PACKING GOODIES 2 PLEASE.... He's so damn COMELY Ya WANNA EAT him UP... biggrin

The first time I saw Prince was on "American Bandstand". He had the full straight hair, skin tight gold satin spandex pants, pink satin shirt, and a huge hoop earring in his right ear. I thought he was gay as hell. I'm still not convinced he's fully straight. lol

LOl.... Wonder if Prince ever wore BIBA Cosmetics? I have this awesome also Makeup with Gold and silver Glitter with these Star,Moon and other Metal Charms. Ya dip them in and wear on ya Cheek. Mary QUANT Baby..Mary Quant. Can anybody get PRINCE some BABE COLOGNE? Do they Still Make it? Faberge. Also,Remember RIVE GAUCHE? Anyway.....he shoulda been at this STORE in BKLYN in the 70's SONNY and CHER Days called HOME DECOR. He Would DUG all that Black Light shit and the Feather Roach Clips and Feather Earrings Posters of Sex Positions and all this Jewelry with Beads. I tell ya he was a HIPPIE. He was INTO That WHOLE 70's Thing .Probably the FREEBIRD Thing. I don't know about Minnie I'm from Ny. Funny he Bitched about Music from that time. Well, we had GRAND FUNk....LOCOMOTION BABY..... Everybody's doing a Brand New Dance now.... I don't know how FREE MINNEAPOLIS was. I'm just Knowing stuff from Family Members who are Older. I grew up on Punk Rock and NEW Wave . My friends all dig NIN and Manson and U-2. I went into PRINCE and Rap..100% Turn around. I Know by him digging NIKA and Larry and LENNY he is Into Something kinda WOODSTOCKY..Catch My Drift. Wonder if he LOVES all the Pacman and Donky Kong and Star Trek and Munsters and all that Stuff. Wonder if he traded Wacky Packages? Wore those Oreo Cookie and Happy Face Necklaces. Bad thing about the 70's and 80's we lost SO MANY GAY MEN to AIDS.... sad So Many HAIRDRESSERS and ARTISTS. So DAMN SAD..... sad

CONTROVERSY.....5th ROCK Macho PURPLE RAIN....6th POP 7th Classical Feel....8th ROCK again....9th was to be Black album {RAP} was LOVESEXY POP again....MAYBE it was WHOMEVER he was Hanging with at the Time...Was it Prince? MOON? Fargnoli? LEEDS? Who Really Influenced the LOOK? The IMAGE? Where did it Come from? Was and IS it his OTHER PERSON whom he Says WE DON"T KNOW THE SEX? Is it CAMMILLE? Remember,Prince is My Idol and I Want to KNOW IT ALL...I LOVE That MAN ... Smart as a WHIP! So SMART and SO BUSINESS and SO PROFESSIONal . How anyone Can NOT RESPECT him is a REAL IDIOT...,
