Maybe that should be:

Yes we can. *For* Now.

It probably depends on how close Larry is at the time.

You mean you don't recall a few years back when Prince told W&L they'd have to publicly renounce their homosexuality in order to appear on stage with him? A good time was had by all...

He could still be homophobic, but at least he's not letting it get in the way of him performing with W&L right now.

In the eighties didn't someone in his band say he would just rip on Wendy and Lisa alot. Swearing at them...and calling the "fucking lesbians who were going to hell" or something like that???

He could be quite nasty in the eighties I heard. Looks like he has changed his ways alot since then. biggrin

Yup, lots of arguments between them in '86 it would seem.


...and I see no reason why Wendy would lie concerning the silly demand he made in the late 90's.

lol Well you know..people say alot of things that they don't really mean when they are pissed. He probably just wanted to hurt their feelings because he was frustrated or something. I seriously doubt Prince dislikes homosexuals. Expecialy lesbians! lol

Indeed, which is why we can only go by what he (and others) SAY.

Oh he CAN be a homophobe, unfortunately. neutral


He'd just be an especially stupid one, considering the uber-femminess he's so well known for.




afterthought: not saying he is homophobic, just that's it's a possibility. just as it's also a possibility he himself is gay, and it's also a possibility that what we see (however jumbled it can be) is what we get. Only prince knows for sure.

Seriously doubt that P is a homophobe. Remove Larry Graham from the picture and he probably feels no need to tow the JW line (or at least pretend to).

Damn, it was great to see Lisa and Wendy on that stage with him last night. Ah, the memories!

Prince ALWAYS LOVED WENDY and had plenty of Gays in his CREW. I don't think he was EVER SERIOUSLY HOMOPHOBIC. MAYBE didn't want GAY MEN around him.

Yeah I think he loves Wendy like a sister. But in '86 I'm sure their arguments in rehersal hall were do to the tension with Susannah.

No one has any proof that he said that and I would think if he did W&L would not be on stage with him now but, I know no one at the org cares about the facts.

Prince is a musician. Wendy & Lisa are musicians. If you ask them, they'd probably tell you that they consider one another to be family.
