I think it's sad when people are just mean. You can tell he's been hurt by the same business that makes him happy.

Prince isn't exactly helpful to put the "he's gay rumor" to rest.
His style, choice of clothes, behavior, etc. seems to be rather prissy.
I don't think he's gay (or at least, I hope he isn't gay), but the man is definitely in touch with his feminine side.
Whenever he makes a public appearance lately, walking hand in hand with the twins, he looks more like one of their girl-friends, than pimp-daddy.
He seemed to dress more conservative when he was with Manuela.
Liberace comes to mind, when I see him now in his flashy, feminine attire.
I find it very appealing, when he tones it down a bit. I don't expect him to be all macho, but his prissy side isn't very sexy to me. I want a little more testosterone in a man.

Isn't he 5foot 2 or something?

Considering he is a towering giant as a musician, does it matter how tall he is.

The fact that they think he's gay doesn't bother me at all because I think he's gay too. What bothers me is the way they say it when they call him gay....as if being gay is a bad thing. Also when they say he's gay and his music sucks in the same sentence. If they think his music sucks, it has nothing to do with being gay. When it comes to attitudes about gay people these days, a lot of people are still living 30 years behind the times.

Why would you hope he's not gay? You're not sleeping with him so what difference does it make if he's gay or straight?

Well, pardon me for living but this is my world, too!
According to your nasty reply, you're the only one who knows him on a personal level! You seem to know alot about what Prince does, or doesn't care about.
Sorry, if I offended your personal friend Prince. You really seem to care a lot about him and I bet he appreciates it very much that you come to his defense in such a soft-spoken, well-mannered way. I hope you don't get too worked up, since a lot of people here make statements about your friend Prince, without knowing him on a personal level. Please do forgive us!
I'll be happy to find out more about your friend Prince, since you seem to know him so well. Thanks, for telling me that he doesn't give a f... about me. Does he still care if I spend my money on him, or does he have enough already?
Please, tell me more about him.

Funkenstein doesn't know Prince on a personal level and neither do I. You are the one acting like you know Prince on a personal level. Otherwise, why would you hope that a complete stranger wasn't gay?

I did not imply Prince was my friend or that I knew him. One can deduct by the way he has conducted himself for the past thirty years in the business, that he does not care what you think about him.
I am one of the only people around here (Prince: Music & More) who isn't sucking up to Prince, treating him like a god. I can see he has flaws, and I treat him as a human, not some divine being who can do no wrong.
I don't mind if people critize him. Actually, I encourage them to do so.
What bothers me was your post. It's ignorant and comes off as anti-gay.

I see people hoping Prince is not gay the same way as I see a lot of his white fans hoping he's not black.

Not by any means am I trying to offend or judge gay people. My "I hope Prince isn't gay" remark wasn't supposed to be anti-gay. All I was trying to say, that if in fact Prince is gay, he should come out already, instead of trying to fool the next girl, he'll be in a relationship with.
I don't believe in living a lie, that's why I'm hoping he isn't gay.
And sorry, I don't try to act like I know him on a personal level. If I would know him that well, I wouldn't have to speculate here, would I?
Instead of calling my post ignorant, it would be nice if you at least would try to make the effort to understand it first.
Believe it or not, I do understand that Prince doesn't care about what I think. He also doesn't care about what everybody else on this site thinks. Isn't everyone just speculating, when it comes to Prince's personal life?
What do you get out of it, if you point me out here in such a negative way?
Most of your replies seem rather angry! There is no need for that.
love the one who is Love!

Are gay people required to let everyone in the world know they are gay? And is it possible that the girls he hangs out with (or even marries) KNOW that he is gay, and that they are just good friends? Is he, or anyone, required to have sex with girls who are friends? Does being in love with someone require that you have sex with them? Then of course, he could just be completely straight. Just some thoughts.

What annoys me is that people of my generation (early 20s) come out with things like 'why do you like prince, he's crap, hes a weirdo etc'

But the funny thing is they have really actually never listened to a prince song or cd, they make their judgements on what they have read/heard about him.

Its just plain ignornace-hes written some of the most amazing songs-but people dont even know it him!!

I know exactly how you feel. I've heard people who have never even heard PR say things as far fetched as that he's a sissy who sings soft crap, doesn't think he swears, sings about sexual things, ect. eek Obviously they have NO idea, and have never heard his music before. Ignorant.

It's not so much what they say, but the fact they dismiss him.
I've only really mentioned it to my family. But the subject gets changed really quick, especially when my mom's in charge of it.
I think she's uncomfortable about him with his appearance and context and even the fact he screams sometimes and "can't be understood".

She doesn't take him too seriously, I think... at least not my supposed "obsession" with him... can't say its the first time that's happened wit me... but it's different this time around.

Otherwise, I really haven't had such a case.
But when he comes up, the subject gets changed before a minute goes by. And that hardly seems fair neutral

If Prince was gay it wouldn't matter to me but I seriously doubt he is gay. You only have to look at some of the women he has been involved with over the years, sure they are going to settle for a gay guy when they are hot and can have any man. Doesn't make much sense. It's very common, though narrow minded for people to label any guy that is very senstive,takes an interest in his apperance, softly spoken to be assumed as gay. Not all men are macho macho men and nor should they have to be. I'm sure all Prince's gay fans will disagree but I think it is a case of wishful thinking to want Prince to be gay.
