wait a minute..why is it degrading to say that a person is gay?


im shock at some of the things some of the folks say around here..please clarify yourself.


Couldn't agree more. I never understood why being called gay is the least bit insulting. Is it somehow more impressive that I like to fuck women instead of men? I really don't get why some fans get up in arms over Prince being called gay. They act like he's being called a pedophile.


nod now THATS an insult

How many times has Prince denied being gay???

1. LA Times interview
2. when he did "Uptown" live during 81
3. oprah interview
4. life o the party


BTW how come Opera slips in the Q to Prince but didnt ask MJ?

HOW COME NO ONE HAS/ WILL ASK HIM IF HES BIsexual ?



cause aint that like asking the black kettle what color it is?


giggle




Reason I said that someone should ask him if hes Bi rather than ask him if hes gay
is because we've already seen his response
to the gay Q. It woudve thrown him off if someone asked if hes Bi, and u might get an interesting response.

So! Does PRINCE HIMSELF FEEL HOMOSEXUAL LONGING is a DEFECT? THINK on THAT? CAUSE if he is and or Bi and Continues to DENY then he is NOT PROUD of his Feelings... Questions ARISE on HIS FEELINGS ABOUT GAYS in GENERAL..LESBIANS and GAY MALES...

Maybe he doesn't know himself whether he's gay, straight or bisexual.

Also he might have a problem with people labeling him and wanting him to say specifically if he's gay or straight or whatever...

It's such a narrow question and it's not very open ended.

It's like saying 'What type of person do you go for? Blonde? Brunnette? Tall? Short?

He might feel like he's got to justify himself.

Speaking from personal experience I don't like people asking me about my sexuality because for me it's just about who you fancy. You don't have to justify yourself to anyone.

If people WANT to know who you fancy and what sex - Why do they want to know ?

Are you gay ? Are you straight ? Errr..Emmm...I don't know. I'm not sure ..
Shut up already, damn.

Maybe he Doesn't Classify Himself.Or Like that Either. Maybe he's EXPERIMENTAL..... Aren't Most people CURIOUS ANYWAY? DO we Classify a Single or Couple Episodes as a NORM?

Yeah I think he's curious and open-minded but I think he might also have a slight fear of being gay.

Especially if he had quite a religious upbringing.

I know for me I was brought up in a house where being gay OR bisexual was seen as weird and that you had something wrong with you or that you could be "cured",

If you're brought up like that it stays with you and may also scare you.

You might live with a sense of fear that it is wrong because it's been ingrained into you.

But also you know that REALISTICALLY there is nothing wrong with it and you still hav questions about who you are.

Then he should DEFINITELY Hang with me. I also Happen to know some BEAUTICIANS who Married cause they were ASHAMED also. With all the GAY PRIESTS and MINISTERS out there Why Would PRINCE EVER FEEL it is a DEFECT? I think One Must EMBRACE and as KINSEY says we are ALL BI-SEXUAL 6's. But I don't think it's WRONG to EXPERIMENT and ONE MUST How can you say ya GAY IF Ya NEVER BEEN with a WOMAN BEFORE? There are MANY MEN AFRAID BUT STILL CAN GET a HARD ON WITh a WOMAN. It is LIFESTYLE and HOW ya CONDITIONED. Ya GOTTA TRY BEFORE ya CLASSIFY. Many are BI saying or thinking GAY....

Anything's possible. Only P. knows for sure.

Because a lot of people are too stupid to even consider that possibility.

I don't think he's gay, but I think there's a possibility he's bi....


Not that it's any of my business, either way. shrug

Know what might be interesting? Instead of asking what he labels himself (gay, straight, or bi) ask point blank if he likes to have sex with men, women, or both. That, I think, is more to the point and more likely to get an honest answer.

I mean, there are so many people that sleep with the opposite sex but consider themselves straight, or have sex with both but consider themselves straight, or whatever. Asking Prince outright what sex turns his crank gets right to the point without messing about with labels.

And to FINALLY answer the thread lol


Unless he was out raping virgins or molesting goats or something else equally weird and hurtful, I don't give a rat's ass how P. gets his rocks off.

Being gay shouldn't be considered an insult, but a lot of general society -and by extension, a lot of the fanbase -seems to think it's horrible and degrading to be called so.

Fans that feel the need to defend Prince's assumed heterosexuality either have too much time on their hands or no real social lives of their own to worry about.

so, are you saying that gay guys cant be nice, mild mannered southern gentleman?




(ya set yourself up for that one buddy.. wink )


do this also mean
nice mild mannered southern gentleman who are married CANT BE GAY?
No I am saying that this is my friend and I was stating what kind of person he is but nothing against gay men but that he has never come off as a gay man. Just speaking about the statement that was started about him that I think is false. I defend him as I would any friend that is being discussed with false statements. So no I didn't step in nuthin.

as a pop act, being called gay should be a compliment, it means 13 year old school boys think he's the antithesis of the pop music aimed at their audience - the 'hetero' alpha-male rapper, and being labelled as the opposite of those cookie-cutter dorks is most definately a compliment.



13 year old guys absolutely dig 50 cent (the rapper)

If one day Prince and I do Talk in a NORMAL fashion. I Know he is going to set the record STRAIGHT.....Since This is MY MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION about his SEXUALITY.....Maybe , it's just ME since I dig Gay Men... biggrin



i've been through that phase, "diggin" gay men, at the time i wasn't being real because real gay men think i stink and i think they stink.. so there... it all depends on how you're feeling. i'm not sure about prince's sex, he does play on sexuality...but i couldn't care if he's straight or gay...or whether my next door neighbour thinks he's straight or gay... prince's music is wild, that's why it appeals to me.

Prince ain't gay and you all know it. Could you really picture him with another man. Most of his music has been about spiritual and mental sex. Make-up and clothes do not make someone gay (ie. most 80's bands, Kiss, etc.)
Note for all of you homophobes - Many women like an androgynous look.

Point is, Prince doesn't sing about homosexual relationships, LOL. What I was trying to say was that I don't get a Elton John or Liberace feel off of P. Aww hell,the more I write the less clear my explanation becomes. I'm pretty sure P isn't gay and if he is, BFD. I suppose that comment was more about his music and it's meaning. Lovesexy is the mental and spiritual sex I was thinking about.

I had a friend years ago who stated that If I Was Your GFriend proved that prince was gay, along with the make-up, clothes etc. I explained that many of P's lyrics are not obvious, literal and have quite a few double meanings.

It doesn't bother me because I think they say it when they feel threatened or less than who Prince is. My xhusband always called Prince "gay" but he did it because he knew I loved him. Prince could always do to me what no other could. The response that Prince would get from me was phenominal and some men feel the need to put him down. My X felt jealous and always called him gay. So therefore, I think people call Prince gay when they feel inferior or just not good enough. They don't know how to respond so they pick on the gays. As if gays don't have enough people picking on them. Gays are no more inferior than the rest of us.
