Here. here... I'm wondering how the reporter knew it was carrot soup... did he ask Prince what it was? And did Prince, in response, gesture to his bible...

harveya said:

more likely it went something like this

reporter: "this is delicious, what is this, carrot?"

prince: "when adam first made love to eve there was no need for questions"

reporter: "hand me the salt please"

Prince should seriously be considered for the Joker role in the next Batman sequel.

Again…I am here replying to an ignorant comment.

First off…Please do not feel sorry for me. I am very happy. I have all kinds of friends…white, black, Asian, gay, straight….I love my life. It’s sad in today’s world we are not aloud to express our opinions on a website for fans unless it aligns with others. Why is because I don’t like someone’s life style but still show love and respect towards them considered ignorance?

You know what…I am not going to continue. You are uneducated...You don’t care about other peoples opinions. You feel you have to insult and cast away others.

Oh yeah…the bible talks about folks like you too.

I have nothing but love for everyone. I have my beliefs and I have my opinions. This is my right as an American and a child of GOD. Until you can handle America and everyone’s beliefs who live here, then your comments our invald.

Also Prince was coming from the bible……

a good portion of prince's bread comes from gay money. he better start shouting about misquotes.

funny that he now blames not having a tape recorder as the culprit when he's never allowed tape recorders in the past yet has never spoken of misquotes before either.

i call bullshit.

"For the time that has passed by is sufficient for YOU to have worked out the will of the nations when YOU proceeded in deeds of loose conduct, lusts, excesses with wine, revelries, drinking matches, and illegal idolatries. Because YOU do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of YOU" -1 Peter 4:3,4.

Doesn't Prince know it.

prime said:

The OLD TESTAMENT also speaks on certain foods man should not eat, certain cloths that should not be worn or used..etc. I want to know If these requests are being obeyed?

It's funny to me how people pick and choose one over the other. Is anyone boycotting red lobster or linen n things?

Here is a quote from the bible. JEREMIAH 10:2-4 ABOUT THE XMAS TREE

Jeremiah 10:2-4: "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not." (KJV).

Are you still going to put up that TREE THIS YR?

How about Christmas following the pagan calender of the Winter Solictise. And CHRIST being born no where near the 25TH of DECEMBER. Born when sheppard were tending to the flock in the fields? In December?

I have no ill will towards christians but If you research the BIBLE, the story of JESUS etc etc. You will find that these stories have been told over and over by different cultures in different contexts.

So to defend the belief that homosexual is wrong because of what the BIBLE teaches is plain wrong. JESUS himself would probably testify to that If HE WAS ALIVE AND WELL.

Jesus would also probably speak to all those gay and lesbian youth. Has anyone of these believers ever spoke to a lesbian or gay youth to know what is happening in there day to day life and how they came to homosexuality?

This is a culture of people judging but never ever associating with those they misunderstand. So out of misunderstand comes ignorance, hatred and assumptions.

This is a sickness and a cancer in humanity. And we could be so much more far along If we did not judge each other for the things we do not take time to understand.

To a sick world, get well soon!

Please take your nonsense to the prince.org Gibberish forum. kthx.

Where´s the fucking problem people??

If you´re gay and you think you cannot be a Prince Fan after this interview (which I can understand) there´s is another pop singer you can be a fan of-his name is
Michael Joseph Jackson he loves all kind of people gay lesbians black and white
and a plus he has his material on youtube.... so
so... where is the loss?????

Man, it must be a slow news day if this is what everyone is talking about!!!

wonder505 said:

It reminds me of something he did, I believe in a Vegas show, about how "people want to be known". He also related it to himself; "people want me to know them". This swing-girl seems to be a variation on the same theme.
I tried to understand it back when I heard it, and I wasn't sure if he was analysing some human trait, or analysing his own position in the universe. In the end, based on my rudimentary knowledge of Prince and his EGO, I decided he was probably talking about his uniqueness.

gyro34 said:

It's called maturity. I sure hope that you are not doing the same thing you were doing 20 years ago or won't be doing the same thing 20 years from now. He has grown what ever those choices he has made was thru personal growth and you idiots he was talking about sodom and gomorrah. You should pick up a bible from time to time.

prime said:

respect his opinion?????
This is insulting!!
I respect his opinion as much as I respect a white supremist's. It is BULLSHIT!

Oh well I guess I saw it coming, I'm done being a fan. I love the rule breaker, the one who crossed lines and the one who refused to 'let society to him how it's supposed to be'.

Now he is a brainwashed idiot. A clown

Hey prince - have fun playing 'take me with u' to a bunch of people that didn't give a fuck about u when u when u were going thru your struggles.

You will lose a lot of die hards with this stupidity.

Guess we will get our equality without u.

For years now we've heard Prince preach fundamentalist religious ideas, why is his opposition to gay marriage a surprise?

People I hope no one thinks that he will be doing the same things he was doing 20 years ago and nor should you expect him to be doing the same things 20 years from now. It is called growth and maturity whatever those choices are, are based on his choice.

AND....when he tapped the bible you dorks he was referring to Sodom and Gomorrah. You should read a bible sometimes. It's there.

prime said:

I don't deny that you have the right to an opinion. I just say that it's invalid because it doesn't involve critical thought on your behalf. Someone has told you, in the past, that your beliefs are the right ones (a pastor, family member, whatever) and you believed them unquestioningly. Therefore, it's not right to take you seriously. Sorry...

It's like an evolutionist refusing to debate a Creationist....its useless because no matter how much evidence an evolutionist puts forth, a creationist will always say that this too, is the will of God. This is just a childish argument and that, my friend, is real ignorance.

Deep down, you know you hate those who don't think like you -especially fags-because what they do is disgusting (although we do know that some homophobes have some kind of latent homesexuality within them to). However, you want to feel like an 'enlightened religious person' so have to tell yourself that you love them to.. But this isn't how you feel. Admit it...your God won't let you. And, by the way, even if I was wrong and you do feel that way, respecting others began as a secular value not a religious one.

I hate to say this but it strikes me that you've never read any of the arguments against your position, ever. How's that for ignorance?

PS. Oh yeah…normal people talks about folks like you too.

This is going to snowball. Somebody ain't tellin the truth & I don't know if its the newspaper reporter or Prince (sorry fam, love ya much but just keeping it real). I would REALLY like Prince to speak for himself or make a formal statement to clear the air. I know Prince has had a love/hate relationship with the media, but at this point & age in his life he's a grown ass man. The smoke & mirrors are cool for a state performance, but when will he feel comfortable being "real" with the fans who've stayed down for over 30 years...bikini draws & all...Brotha Nelson, its time to speak up for yourself. We'll respect you more for it.

Yepp I think some people really hoped he hasn´t anything against gay people but they were wrong -totally wrong!

Mecca said:

You're so judgemental.
Do you know Prince personally? Do you have his phone number?
Do you read the Bible or have a strong faith in God? Idiots...huh?

kjamal said:

If you are no longer a Prince fan, why did you read the article and respond?
Prince never said I'm a homophobe so why would you waste time and energy boycotting him when there are people and groups who are saying and doing things far worse than Prince to try and hurt that community. I'm not trying to pick a fight or disrespect your opinion, I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.

Ah,.... you know Prince may not be as young and talented, he may be a little more beaten down by life, he may be a lot of things, but the the thing is, none of this is really shocking, or rather his whole carrer has been about shocking people. so nothing is shocking anymore when it comes to Prince.

As things change remember, we will always have Paris.

" He's gay used 2 mean he's happy
Nowadays happy ain't allowed (alright)"

I always interpreted this as that being gay was no problem to Prince. Have I always been wrong about this?.

murph said:

This is really funny stuff. So what this says is that the reporter actually showed Prince the article before publishing. It's the only way to "fact check" an interview after all.

Initially I was going to stay out of this discussion but I just have to comment. What really irks me is when people say they don't like or agree with someone else's lifestyle as if that person is some monster or serial killer. Homosexuality is a preferance (and not a choice for some people), but it is based in love. The only thing that gay people want is to be able to love and have to same rights as every other person. What I don't understand is how people can be so obessed with what happens in someone else's bedroom as if it has a direct impact on their lives. Are you that unhappy with yourself that you need to find something in someone else that makes you feel better? What is truely amazing to me is the arguement about the sanctity of marriage. Yet, we have drive through marriages in Vegas and the divorce rate is over 60% (maybe higher).

Don't use the bible as a sheild to condem something that is not meant for you to understand if you're not gay. Just accept it and move on. We have bigger problems than to worry about who is sleeping with whom. Do you really think that gay people want to be gay? Chris Rock said it best- the white person cleaning floors wouldn't trade places with him and he is rich.

It really irks me how people use religion as a means to divide when the whole underlying meaning is to unite.

I am not sure what to believe about what Prince said. He has changed so much ever since he became a JW, I wouldn't put it past him. I remember on Oprah when he said hey, whatever floats your boat. That's the way it should be. My mother is gay and so is one of my good friends. All they want is what everyone else wants, to be treated fairly and find someone to spend the rest of their lives with. How can anyone with a heart be against that? Seriously, if you opposed everything I just said think about it for it a second and give me an answer besides "god said it's wrong", or "it's not natural". Love is natural.

Enuff of my rant. I really wish people would wake up!

No matter what your politic beliefs or religious beliefs are,U have 2 remember that it's his world and he's free 2 do what he wants;and say what he wants.As far as no longer liking Prince because of a recent article in some rag,well 4 get it. I have been following His Royal Badness 4 over 30 years now.And through out his carrer I have read and heard stuff that I did not agree with.But anything that's in the press U have 2 take with a grain of salt,Prince did not write the article.So we have no clue if its actual and factual? I will only believe whats said or written by his voice or his hand.Tell than,4 get it. I will always love Prince Rogers Nelson 4 his amazing talent no matter how many times he changes his style or his beliefs.Go back 2 1978 and listen and then jam his newest stuff. It's all excellent music,yeah maybe no more cussing and sexual innuendos,but that's all part of grown up as a musican and as a human !

Thanx 4 keeping me entertained 4 the last 4 decades Prince
