Tame I am going to have to disagree with you here, I really don't think P's path has been very righteous.

Well said and very true !!!
I mean he was singing avbout incest at a time when nobody else did. And you seriousl ythnk he would be afraid to out himslef? Nah....

I never thought that Prince was gay. However I think he is very much in touch with his feminine side. While most men wouldn't even admit that they have a feminine side, Prince is not shy to flaunt his.
That's why he is able to relate to women in ways most men can't.
I also believe that if Prince was in deed gay, he would have been out of the closet by now. Either by his own will or by accident. The man has been in the public eye since the late 70's and he has never been caught in an encounter with a man. Don't you think if he had gay lovers along the way, one of them would have blown the whistle by now.(no pun intended! )

Prince is so feminine that if he was fooling around with men, his type would be what we call in the gay community as "trade". Trade men are men that are attracted to women sexually but will let a gay man perform oral sex on them and trade men are also tops when it comes to anal sex. In their mind, they think that they are straight because they aren't the ones giving the oral sex or receiving the anal sex. However, they think they are so straight but they don't brag to their buddies about their encounters with gay men like they brag about their encounters with women. In fact, they will keep those encounters a secret at all costs. In reality they are extremely confused closet bisexual men and very dangerous also. Trade men are more masculine than the average straight man because they have something to prove. The majority of thugs are trade men. Think about it, what type of men are doing the raping in prison, it is the rough thugs not the femine queens.

As feminine as Prince is, these are the type of men I can see him going for. And considering the fact that these men would never admit to their sexual escapades with gay men because they don't want anyone labeling them as gay, these type of men would be right up Prince's alley considering how private he is. You could sleep with trade men for an entire lifetime and they would never tell anyone because their worst nightmare is for someone to think that they are the least bit gay.

Which is why so many women love him and so many men envy and/or are intimidated by him cause so many women love him!

Most males within the entertainment industry who have met his purple majesty have admitted to clammin up or softenin up or like Sway from MTV said "Prince greeted me backstage by puttin his right hand on my left shoulder and simply asying, "hey." Just like that I turned into a third-grade girl at sunday school" funny

It seems that most gays wear gay-colored glasses.

It's hard for them to believe that any guy is straight. It's almost like a way of reading and interpreting the world. Yes means Yes, and No means Yes.

I never even thought for a second that Prince might be gay.

Actually I think it take a very shallow perceptual read on things to think that Prince is gay.

I think I know what kind of men you're talking about. I've read this book "on the down low" written by this guy who claimed to be straight but had frequently sex with men. He was also married and had children and kept it a secret from his wife and children until he got caught in the act.
At some point the man was even on Oprah and told the world about the down-low life style.
I was shocked to find out how many men in fact have sex with men and still claim to be straight. I have to agree with you that those are the worst kind of closet homosexuals because they are so dishonest with themselves and others. I think I would be pretty pissed if I would trust a man, just to find out later that not only did he cheat but he cheated on me with a man. I hate liars no matter what sexual preference they might have.

How could Prince call Rick a crackhead when crack was basically unheard of back when the two of them were feuding? And to the best of my knowledge, Prince never called Rick anything because he didn't give interviews. You can't call someone a name when you refuse to speak at all.

I don't think Prince is in the slightest bit gay.

I think it's highly possible to be ambiguous and have a strong feminine side and not be gay. Hey, I'm a musician myself and I understand where Prince is coming from with the androgynous image, I do it myself sometimes too, and I'm not gay.

I saw the guy you are referring to on the Oprah show also. I see him as more of a closet queen that got married because society says a man should be with a woman. He had some very subtle feminine gestures, that's how I could tell he was a closet queen. If I remember correctly, I think he said he was sexually atrracted to both men and women. Trade or "downlow men" (which they are now known as) have absolutely no feminine gestures whatsoever and most of them are much more masculine than an actual straight man. Trade also isn't sexually attracted to men, they are attracted to women, but the way they view it, an orgasm feels the same no matter who is giving it to you. That's how they lie to themselves and still try to consider themselves straight. The queens that they sleep with don't make it any better when they refer to these men as straight either. Call them what they are, which is bisexual. Why should these men get to have the pleasure of both worlds without feeling any of the discrimination....and most of them inflict the hate and discrimination against gay men themselves. When they say they "hate fags", they aren't lying. They really do. I have more pride in myself than to even associate with trash like these men. However, most queens don't care because as long as these men dish out the dick to them, they don't care what they think of them. As for me, hell no, I can't do it. When someone hates me, I hate them back.

I do appreciate your understanding post though and I can totally understand how a woman would feel when they find out about these hypocritical men because I feel the exact same way about them.

That's because from my own experiences and the type of men I have been with in the past, I would say that 80% of all men would let another man give them oral sex if they thought that no one would ever find out about it. And when I say 80% of all men, I am talking about any woman's husband or boyfriend. A 100% straight man is hard to find.

These men are bisexuals and not obvious whatsoever even in the slightest way. Most of them are the hardest thugs and criminals you could ever imagine. For those of us who live in the gay world, we have all seen it. It is a complete underground scene that straight people know nothing about. So if a man like that could be bisexual, what makes you think that a man like Prince who dresses feminine and has feminine gestures could not even possibly by bisexual, let alone gay.

Having an urge to sleep with the same sex would either make you bisexual or gay whether you acted on that urge or not. Having an urge to sleep with a sheep wouldn't make you straight or gay. It would make you a pervert.

All joking aside you do known this has happened many times in history...not just my dvd collection or magazines ...really gay guys sleep with women all the ttime and they know there not gay....sex is a powerful urge

Gay guys sleep with women because they are living in a closet and don't want to come out because of all the prejudice that is against them. I used to sleep with women myself before I came out. All I had to do was pop in a porno flick and look at the man's dick while I was having sex. That was enough to give me an erection. Either watch a flick or imagine a dick in my mind during sex with a woman. It's not hard to do.

vainandy said:

Damn, you'd put the ratio that high?

I guess I fall into that 20% category then.

I have alot of gay about me....except i don't like cock

Yep, that's the one. Except you left off the rest of it where the guy gets excited and asks Rick if he's really getting a raise. Rick told him....."Hell no! I just want Princess to think you're getting a raise!".

Then there's another time a few years later when Prince attends a Rick James concert and has his bodyguard to carry him on his shoulders through the crowd to disrupt the concert. Rick tells the audience from the stage....."Pay no attention to Princess. He just came here to see how real funk is made"....or something to that effect.
