Y tú, amiga.

just do what i do if somebody says that.

agree with them and then call them gay for knowing about him.

funnily enough it stops most people in their trax...

In the same place as his dick. In a private place hidden from the public's eyesight. I've never seen his dick either but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It would be just gut-wrenchingly sad to me, if I were to find out that someone who had given so many people the courage to be themselves, wasn't capable of doing it himself. I wouldn't be angry or let down if I found out Prince had been fibbing, like some fans say they would. I'd just feel very sad for him, I think.

I tell everybody: "that he's the poster child for a Metrosexual. Besides if he is bisexual,s o what? That's the "it" word for the 21st century isn't it? I mean look at you in those hip hugging jeans. Your mouth says woman but your butt says enter me."

That usually get people defending their sexuality and completely drops the discussion.

Just tell him he is the smartest straight guy ever, wearing high heels. Tell him all the women at a Prince concert drip becuz of him and that he only dates Puerto Rican looking teenage girls.

That normally shuts them up.

PRINCE IS NOT GAY.....anymore he might have been gay with a few people and they are some of the luckiest people alive, but gayness is so not his scene. He can pull off stilettos as a guy, even some women can't do that. and scince guys wish they could wear those stilettos but wouldn't be excepted in them they call him gay. The falsetto has nothing to do with it. It is the heels issue.

vainandy said:

In the world we live in now, this elusive gay partner or partners would have come forward with their stories already, trying to get paid for interviews or singing some huge book deal letting out all the details. Not even a bogus attempt has been made yet. Don't you find that strange if the rumors were true?

I always wanted Prince to be straight, which I still think he is. I loved the fact that him dressing the way he did and him being straight behind it fucked with peoples heads. I loved the contradiction of the man. Now, I don't care. As a gay man, I sure don't want anyone saying "Eeew" to me cause I'm as much a man as the next straight guy. So if Prince is, then welcome to the family.

I honestly don't give a flying fuck if he is or isn't either. But I'm sick of people rushing to judgment. Give the facts a chance to come out(if indeed there are any) before labeling then man. I'm straight and if Prince did "come out" I wouldn't feel any less about him. But people who try to label him as being gay are just doing so for some perverse opportunity to ridicule and insult him. Thus,the 'eeeew. Narrow minded motherfuckers they are.

dseann said:

Not at all, actually. For someone with a reputation of getting around, Prince has also had remarkably few ex-girlfriends and -wives come forward with stories about the man either, and those that have haven't exactly been horrific or salacious, either. If the oft-repeated rumour about P. making his lovers sign confidentiality agreements is true, that'd be enough to shut up most people. And if not? Maybe he just stays on better terms with his exes than he lets on publicly. I've heard it said by people who've worked with him that as difficult as Prince can be, he has a way of making people like him, anyways.


Besides all that, what would be the motivation for someone to come forward announcing their secret gay affair with Prince? Money? Most of the people who aren't fans and a good number of those who are already think he's gay anyways, so it's not as if the revelation would be a shocker or make headlines. He's not a big star in the way the current tabloid darlings are, so his every move isn't covered the way other celebrities' are. Spite? That seems to happen more in the case of politicians who were vocally anti-gay rather than pop stars known to attract queer-friendly fans.

dseann said:

And what would you say to the fans who think he's not as hetero as he says?

It really doesn't matter to me one bit if he's straight or gay. It is essentially a non-issue, especially with musicians!

meow85 said:

Money, fifteen minutes of fame, a book deal.....

meow85 said:

At times he appears to be extremely fagatious but I don't take that to mean he's gay. I think he's very in touch with his "Camile" side and there's nothing wrong with that.

DreamyPopRoyalty said:

Yea, and after that we'd all move to Fantasy Land and live happily ever after.

You know, not everybody likes Prince. That's just the way it is and that's the way it's gonna be. Some people just don't dig his music no matter what. Also, most people are just casual music listeners, they would never 'embrace' Prince the way some of the folks around here do

Just kidding.

Sweetheart, that only works if the celeb in question is someone the general public actually cares about. I've accepted that Prince doesn't get the recognition he deserves, why haven't you? Like ir or not, Prince is not on the same page as people like Angelina Jolie in the eyes of the general public. They simply do not care as much about his life or habits, thank God.

Money? 15 minutes of fame? A book deal? Who the hell from? Most of the populace and a good chunk of steady music fans and specifically, Prince fans, already think he's gay or bisexual. Money and book deals are only offered up to those revealing something scandalous, and in this case, most would not see any scandal. Revealing a secret gay affair with Prince would be, in the eyes of the general public, (you know, those people who buy books about famous folk and watch shit like ET) about as shocking as revealing a secret gay affair with Elton John.

dseann said:

Thanks for not answering my question. Let's go over this again.

You said people who label Prince as gay do so out of disgust or to ridicule him. I asked, what about the fans who do the same?

Not necessarily. Prince could have had sexual partners who were in the closet also. If they came forward with their stories, they would be outing themselves also and a closeted person wouldn't want to do that.

Also, as flaming as Prince is, I picture him going after the extremely masculine men that you would never think was gay or bisexual and 90% of them are in the closet.

Exactly. Prince being exposed as gay wouldn't shock anyone except hardcore Prince fans. Most of the general public would say....."Hell, tell me something I didn't already know".

vainandy said:

Yeah, I can't really see Our Lady going for someone as queenly as he is, either.

I've heard it said that the best person for a closeted star to sleep with is another closeted star, because there's little to no risk of being found out. Not being famous or closeted, I wouldn't know. But it makes sense, doesn't it?

vainandy said:

The only people who'd really be shocked or upset by it are fans like dseann who, for whatever reason, have felt the need to rabidly defend their Hero's assumed heterosexuality. The majority of the fanbase I suspect would either have an "I knew it!" moment, or shrug and wonder if Carmen ever used a strap-on, then get on with their day.

So do you 2^ think P is "closeted"?

VenusBlingBling said:

I don't know either way whether he's gay or straight. I just think it's stupid to assume he's heterosexual and put so much energy into rabidly defending that "fact". We're not in his head, so we don't know.
