Hell, yeah, he has. He's spoken volumes about it. Used to be that after he put his lipstick and makeup on, and his lace and high heels, he said things like, "Whatever floats your boat" and "Sex between two people is all right if all the love in the world is what they got." So when you say he has always been skeptical of it, I have to disagree.

I don't believe Prince said that...not like that one bit.
Since when do we automatically believe whats written by reporters? Always. It's always been like that. I think the reporter went to his home thinking he was gonna get some juice on Princey and realised that lil ol Prince is just as normal as most of us. Who's gonna think thats interesting? So in the realization that he has to go back to his boss with Prince is as normal as u and I, he doctored and sensationalized the story.
Prince is not perfect but he certainly is not that stupid to give a story like that to a reporter from the "New Yorker"!!! I'm sure has his beliefs, religious or just personal, even so it does"nt give us the right to judge him.

For the doubters, this is a Prince fan site. the least u can do is have a Little faith in our man. I know alot of people are having withdrawls from the lack of recent output of material from Prince. Have some faith, It's coming soon!& will be all good!!
Peace & Love

I think what ever he said... the statement printed in the article sorta sounded to me as if hiv came and cleared up the whole free and fun and crazy sex thing going on..... IMO.

P.S. Prince you may be small and your house may be really big but even you can't hide behind the real "truth".....get real please and as you try to seem "deep". The only thing your deep into is well.....forgive me but BS....
You won't get honest with us until you get honest with yourself..... you were just fine and ok the way you were to start with.... warts and all lol.
We love all of you from beginning to end.... so does who ever or whatever created you.... he/it/they knew your path from the start....why are you trying way too hard to recreate yourself???? You will never be at peace and always need recognition and acceptance and feel the need for everyone to confirm all of it until you give it a rest and just love yourself.... I promise nothing bad will happen because whatever you think you found it seems you've lost faith in yourself your 'true self"..... first things weren't going your way and you tucked yourself into a symbol..... now it's a bible.....We will all love you all the more when you find your true self or identity in things that are not outside of you.....your identity lies within.....peace and love....here's to the simple life with no explanations needed just to be yourself... now that's free!!!.....

be brave little grasshopper....

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but here's a little more on this from the interviewer Claire Hoffman from the New Yorker website:
http://www.newyorker.com/...-scen.html

November 17, 2008
Behind the Scenes: Glamorous Life
This week, in Talk of the Town, Claire Hoffman visits the home of Prince, a thirty-thousand-square foot Italiante villa, built by Vanna White’s ex-husband. She talks about what it was like to meet Prince, and shares a couple of prints from his new book, “21 Nights,” a collection of stylized portraits taken while Prince was in London last year.

You had some colorful descriptions of Prince’s home: Bright-purple carpets, a Lucite grand piano, bearded men playing flutes. Is this how you imagined Prince’s home to be?

I think I imagined everything about Prince would be more bizarre, dare I even say celestial. I’ve been listening to Prince ever since I started listening to music so he’s less an artist to me and more a sort of galactic overlord. So to show up at his house and have it smell like a Pottery Barn showroom and hear Yanni on the TV was sort of shocking.

In his defense, Prince hasn’t lived there long. I got the sense that he had a sort of make-a-home-for-Prince suitcase that someone else had unpacked—a little purple velvet there, a statue here, and voila!

In your interview, Prince said the following about gay marriage: “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was like, ‘Enough.’” Did you two have a more In-depth conversation about this?

I was a little surprised when he said it, because he has always seemed so unrestricted sexually.

We were having a larger conversation about his belief system and his politics. He told me he didn’t have a horse in the November election and that he didn’t believe in getting involved with these kind of earthly contests. I had asked him if the fact that Obama was black didn’t compel him to get involved.

He said, “Why?”

And I said, Well, because you’re black.

And he said “Am I?” and held up his wrist next to my ruddy one. Indeed his skin was lighter, and he cracked up.

Anyway, he walked me into his library and opened a Bible up to the Sermon on the Mount, and that’s when he got to talking about trying to live Biblically. For what it’s worth, the way he said it wasn’t hateful so much as sad and resigned. Prince is a true believer, and I think that’s important to keep in mind in hearing his viewpoint.

We’re showing our readers some of the photographs from “21 Nights.” Are they like the photographs he has hanging in his house in, as you put it, “various states of undress”?

I interviewed the photographer, Randee St. Nicholas, who has photographed and made videos of practically every big-name celebrity. The thing she said about Prince that stuck with me was that he sees women in a way that most men don’t. He looks right at them. I felt that—he’s strangely considerate. In person, I found Prince humble and down to earth—if you closed your eyes you could imagine he was your fat old uncle and you were on the way to a (vegetarian) BBQ.

Finally, did you have any of that carrot soup?

I didn’t. I should have.

If Prince is still a JW and if he has always believed in some or part of the bible and if he's always loved women...then it s/b no surprise to anyone if he doesn't fully support gay relations or straight relations that don't conform to what he believes God approves of. However, I seriously doubt that he cares what other people do. I think he is way more open minded than that.

Also, I find it hard to believe that Prince would joke around or question whether he was black and not have any kind of emotional investment in Barack Obama becoming the first Black President. The whole thing just smells like But if there really are any misquotes from any interview then its Prince's own damned fault for not allowing a tape recorder or doing it live from his own studio!

Shut Up and Sing

All due respect to Dr. Frankenpebbles, but if there's any retraction/notice of misquote, I'll prefer to hear it from a more legitimate source. Not just because this angle is more believable, either: http://dlisted.com/node/29327

he puts out that Turn me Loose song.... then retracts it.... now he's all up about gayness..... ummmm Prince who's driving the car????? or are you just hanging out in the back of the limo counting your money.... and just talking a bunch of (excuse me) crap... you are messing with people's lives... and most of all the people that care for you the most and have followed you and payed the ticket prices for years.....I've just been around for a few years.....You remind me of someone else I know that just is terrified of being loved...you put up more road blocks than anyone I've seen or heard of.....maybe you resent that we love you and you don't think you are lovable.....Mayte said on camera she called you "Hey You!".....now that's intimacy.....I guess that's how you love a symbol.....

:roflmao:

Just search for 'Prince Anti Gay' on google and see the results.

He'd better do something soon about this. I so want this to be bullshit.

oh. that. yeah, i dunno. i hope prince doesn't really believe that HIV is retribution for a 'sin'. he just doesn't seem that backwardly fundamental. how could someone so talented allow his mind to be curtailed like that?

XxAxX said:

Well, their CD prices ain't the best and that little doggie listening to the speaker is a little out of date, but I don't see how... Oh wait, I got the wrong acronym there, sorry.

I love this description of Prince by the writer:

Prince padded into the kitchen, a small fifty-year-old man in yoga pants and a big sweater, wearing platform flip-flops over white socks, like a geisha.

and yes there are a ton of sites reporting this, i see a backlash coming!!

Unfortunately, (and most people get this twisted when it comes to Prince) Talent does not equal Intelligence.

Right on

Are You Insulting the Gay Community by saying that they would not pay to go see Prince in concert because He isn't Gay?

Wow...Gay Men still have good taste in music.

Let's see. Prince, a devout Jehovah Witness changes lyrics to some of his best songs to respect his "religion."

http://www.watchtower.org...cle_01.htm

Then Prince says what he did in the New Yorker interview. When the interview is leaked, Prince's publicist comes out as a "Prince Insider" to Perez Hilton, claiming that Prince was misquoted.

What a joke.

Prince is like George Lucas. George Lucas has slowly been destroying the Star Wars franchise by continually tinkering it. Prince has been slowly destroying his legacy by his actions on youtube, suing people like Uptown, and now coming out on the side of Hate, backing up his church's beliefs with quotes in the New Yorker.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...DCjIjsZp_Y comes to mind.

I was just Googling about this,and found a site called gaywired.com,and they had a article with this statement.
