Oh you know it's just a man assuming he knows what is best for a woman. You know how alot of them are!

Why in the world would someone who, being in the public eye and publicly only liking women, be more comfortable around the gender they're attempting to hide their interest in? Not saying that means anything about Prince, but be reasonable.

mayb he's uncomfortable around males because males beat him up at school, i dunno .

Prince is not, was not, and is never going to be GAY. Prince has NEVER, is not currently, nor will he ever be even remotely interested in having sex with a man.

A. No I’m not Prince. But of course for anyone really paying attention over the past 25 years, I don’t have to be Prince in order to respond with absolute certainty to the post that I was responding to in EXACTLY the way I did it. The whole premise that one has to be someone else to accurately convey the thoughts and perspectives of said person is wildly asinine and simply juvenile in its reasoning.

B. No I will not shut up. Point of fact, I don’t have to. In case you missed one of the defining characteristics of the ORG, allow me to clue you in. It’s a FORUM. You can look that up when you get a chance. It’s meaning can be found in a very useful book called a dictionary. See there. Learning can be fun.

C. Everyday many people on this forum and others post credibly observational statements that accurately reflect the way Prince thinks or feels about any number of things and those statements are universally concurred with because of what we have corporately come to know as factual about who he is from the testimony of his public life (parts of his private life as well) and career. Example: “Prince is a vegetarian.” Did I need to be Prince to know the truth of that statement? No.

With regards to this subject, Prince himself has answered this one for us on the Dirty Mind album, continued to marvel at the conjecture on Controversy, and in various other ways and statements over the years made it clear that he isn’t about that (all the while adding to a long list of some of the finest women who were/perhaps still are his lovers). Yet more often than I care to get into we find ourselves back here being pressured to give credence to this fanciful tripe or risk being branded as homophobic



How tragically desperate people sound when they gin up this "he said/I heard/I'm from" nonsense. People who we admire don't have to be into the same things that we are. In fact if that is really a prerequiste for us to identify with them, then ultimately we are all a bunch of loser narcissists because we are really just getting off on ourselves instaed of letting other people be who they are. It's sad and tired.

Get over it, passed it and through it!

...Prince doesn't seem to care that some people think he likes dick, so why do you?

Honestly, people act like it's slander to say something like that, but it's not. It's just not.

Maybe he finds it hard to relate to males because they find it so hard to relate and be comfortable around women and he finds it natural.

HUH?

Honestly, people act like it's slander to say something like that, but it's not. It's just not.

Oh, but it is...

As for the song, it's just a young arrogant guy thinking he's got what it takes to "convert" a lesbian.

Actually this has been settled in a London court. Boy George wrote about an old boyfriend in his book Take It Like a Man, and the old boyfriend in turn sued him for slander, as the old BF now had a girlfriend and was no longer gay. Boy countered that it wasn't slander to call someone gay, and the London court ruled in his favor.

That said, apparently you think being gay is equal some form of horrible "criminal guilt". That is where we differ. I don't. I don't think it's a big deal.

..."no longer gay"...bwahaha that's a good 1

Pls don't put words in my mouth, I didn't state being gay is equal 2 some form of horrible guilt. My point is that the letter of the law is of course, as always, open 2 interpretation, and must be taken in2 the context of the entire 'conversation/allegation'.
Earlier posts do in fact fall under the category of 'defamation' and certainly 'plainly harmful in character'.
A fly legal eagle would certainly have a strong case IMO, but hey...I'm no lawyer either so.. G'head...try it on!

i guess im askin, R THERE ANY LESBIANS ON THIS SITE OR THAT U KNOW OF THAT WOULD CONVERT AND HAVE SEX WITH PRINCE

surely there'd b some who'd consider it, i mean with Prince, ur havin sex with a woman anyway.

So exactly how was it defamation or "plainly harmful in character"? If you're going to make a claim like that you need to be able to back it up.

Oh...a reliable source told me..U know...
