Prince and Homosexuality

[b]If Prince did in fact say " He is AGAINST Homosexuality, because God was sick of seeing people sticking it everywhere" I will have 2 hear an OFFICIAL statetment from him he was misquoted, within 1 week. If He did say it, Im going 2 sell EVERY prince item I own when the economy is better, and it will B on E-Bay. If the latter is the case, I will tell everyone my seller name there, and when im selling. So,there might be a HUGE slashed price sale on a lot of his stuff in the Future.

This will never get solved.

Because Prince will deny he ever said it, and the reporter stands by the quote.

A tape recorder wasn't used. So there's no proof he actually said it.

I think everyone should just move on.

So let me get this straight. Your gonna sell all your prince stuff, cause prince may have basicaly said. He feels homosexuality is a sin. Which is pretty obvious on he feels about it since he's a devote jehovah witness. He's never said gays need to be punished or killed or anything horrible like that. Just in lose terms that he feels it's a sin. Something your baker, your doctor, and the person teaching children may all feel the same way. But your gona basically outcast him from your life becuase he has different point of view then you do, he doesnt think like you do. Isn't that what being homophopic is, to not like the way someone lives thier ife and to disagree with thier point of view on a subject (homosexuailty). And before you start bashing me, keep in my mind that man in the picture next to this post is gay, my roommates gay, i loove the gay community. But dont bash someone just because they have a different point of view. no matter how wrong they maybe. As long as they're not telling others to hurt someone beacuse of it. You should respect thier beilefs

I think when you call someone a sinner because of who they love that makes you a bigot. I would have about as much to say to Prince as he would to someone who didn't agree with him marrying outside his race. You have the right to have a bigoted opinion but if you care about hurting another human being's feelings and how you might be perceived for having opinions that are bigoted, then you need to keep that shit to yourself.

I don't think Prince's personal views should matter when it comes to being a fan of his music. I could understand if some of those views leaked into his lyrics but that's not the case. If we all stopped listening to musicians because of their personal beliefs, there probably wouldn't be a whole lot of music left to listen to.

Yea he didn't leave her without saying his piece about gays, either. After the credits rolled he went into, "Bambi!" Of all the songs in his arsenal, he picks the anti-lesbian one. You think that was an accident?

So you think Prince should sacrifice his beliefs to make you happy?? A lot of people think homosexuality is wrong. Do you need someones approval for the life style you choose? If so, I would do a lot of introspection.

So you basically liked Prince because you thought he was homosexual or because he put out good music?

He can believe what he likes. But if he's wanting to sell records, then he'd do well to keep opinions like what has been alleged to himself. I'll respect any opinion if it's a respectful opinion. If the opinion is putting certain elements of society down just because they choose to actually live the lives they were born with, that's not a respectful opinion and Prince should expect to get some flack for it.

Do you need someones approval for the life style you choose?


Homosexuality isn't a choice, however I will concede that the choice to actually come out, live a gay life and therefore take a huge step towards a happy, satisfying existence is a 'lifestyle choice'. I need nobody's approval about the way I live my life, however when you've spent 23 years following and supporting an artist who's free spirit and all-loving philosophy gave you much joy when you listened to his music, only to then hear an alleged comment that pretty much says he thinks you're somehow a second-class citizen, it's hugely disappointing. I hope that Prince can clear this up in a satisfying manner. If he doesn't, he'll be tarnished as a bigot. And once somebody's tarnished, it stays for a long time.

If so, I would do a lot of introspection.


Wow, I bet you thought that last line ended your post with real impact lol
