PrintableJust to add a different slant to this conversation that popped into my head, do you think it's possible that perhaps the reason that Prince may not have QUITE as many gay fans as straight fans may be because of the lyrical issue?
Let me explain: Many music fans appreciate being able to identify with the lyrics of the music they enjoy...Much of Prince's music has featured lyrics that have been pretty blatantly heterosexually-specific from a romantic or sexual standpoint. Do you think it's possible that perhaps a small percentage gay music fans may feel a little more removed from the subject matter? Just a thought. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was in the old holy river once and Jew/DreamFirstBorn was talking about how "sometimes it snows in april" was possibly the closest thing Prince had 2 a "gay anthem" Put yourself on the worldwide org map! www.frappr.com/princeorg |

AaronUnlimited said: EverlastingNow said: I'm gonna have to label this thread "What a bunch of horse shit". As a Homosexual male Prince fam, I've never looked at Prince as anything other than a pretty man. And I would say I was pretty "true" to Prince having been into him for 23 out of my 30 years. Oddly, I did find Wendy and Susannah very hot, made me question my gayness a few times in High School but turns out they are still hot to me, just not in a "I wanna have sex with you" kind of way.
no reason to question your gayness for thinking Wendy & Susannah were hot. they're very manly looking. check out Susannah in that cocktail dress during "Girls & Boys" in UTCM  No they're not. ~KiKi | |

It's nice to see that homophobia is still alive and well in the world.
The entire basis of this "theory," if it could even be called that, is that gay men and women are ruled primarily by their sexuality. Why is it that straights always jump to that conculsion? "Hi, I'm gay, and I can only think with my dick. So would you kindly bend over and let me fuck you? Thanks." Seems like that theory would only apply to straight men. I hope most the people on this board are more enlightened than that. | |

What was interesting was that every single one of the people on the table at that time (5 guys and 2 girls) admitted 2, at some point, buying a CD or tape because they had a crush on the artist! U are dead right about Hetrosexual men thinking with their dicks. Speaking as one, and of course I'm generalising, that is the case with me at least. They argued that because I had bought a tape of "someone I wanted 2 bone" then I was a lesser fan than someone who didn't want 2 bone them and was just interested in the music. (If Ur wondering, the tape was Cyndi Lauper and yes, I still would!  )
It then went on to a "music industry is just based on selling a sexy image, regardless of talent" type conversation. I was really surprised that the 2 guys that were arguing 4 the "theory" put above just wouldn't back down. Amazing that this is the year 2002 and people are still set in these ways isn't it?

Yeah I hear ya lovebizzare
U know what I still get when I say I'm a Prince fan?? I'll show U Caveman- So what kind of music do U like? JN- Oh, U know a bit of this and that. Whatever sounds good. Caveman- Oh yeah, me 2. Any particular artists or bands? me, I love Atomic Kitten! I'd do 'em all! JN- haha yeah right. see what U mean. Actually if U really wanna know, I'm a Prince fan. Caveman- Who? JN- Prince, U know, Purple Rain, Most Beautiful girl in the world... Prince! Caveman- Oh yeah! Right! That little bloke! haha why'd U like him? He's a faaag! JN- well, actually he's not (then start going in2 one about Carmen Electra, Kim Bassinger and Mayte.) And besides, so what if he was? The guys a genius! He makes great music! I don't think his sexuality has anything 2 do with it and 2 be truthful, I couldn't care less. I'd still go 2 the shows, wear the t-shirts and buy the music. Caveman- yeah but he had one rib removed so he could give himself a blowjob! He must be gay if he wants 2 suck cock! JN- Yeah that's right he did. And everything else U read in the national enquirer and Daily Star is true as well Caveman- Ay? course it is! They wouldn't print it if it weren't true would they? God you're such a dickhead! and so on... U know once I told someone I was a Prince fan and I swear this is the exact reaction I got... "Prince??? They're all a bunch of fags!" I kid U not!

Listen,I've been into his music firstly and just because he's Gorgeous and I'm Attracted to him doesn't make me a lesser fan. Guys are just Jealous that I have a Thing for him. I couldn't give a Damn and they can all go take a Jump in the Ocean if they Don't like Prince's music or my Devotion. Who has the right to tell you who to like or what music to listen to? Who cares if it's a Fantasy that may Never come true because I'd still rather be Alone. | |

Let me tell you something everybody. When I was camped out getting tickets back in 1986 people would say he's a fag and laugh then my Gay Friends said he's Gay. Then the Beauticians laughed and said the same thing. I Never Cared if he was or wasn't. Nor do I because there is nothing wrong with Alternative Lifestyles,but time and again he has said he Isn't so I do Believe him. Now,if he is Bi-or in the Closet or something well that's his Buisness,but Really I wouldn't love him any less if he were as I wouldn't love a child of mine any less so People Wise-Up and Grow-Up and stop with the Homophobia because it's really RETARDED! | |

Their sexual proclivities don't make them any more or less of a "fan". Just yet
another different "type" of "fan". | |

A Fan is a Fan Orgmnd and I don't think there should be Different Classes of Fans or that we should Discriminate or Categorize Fans. I think Prince fans have the Common love for Prince's music and that makes us a Family in a Way. Our Love for the Artist's Music. As far as Females or Gay Men well that's to be expected with any Performer. They Expect That! Of course nobody wants Crazies because you Hear so many stories. | |

JimmyNothing said:[quote]Before U jump 2 conclusions... this is not my view... I'm simply putting the question (which was raised in a very interesting pub discussion!) 2 U guys 2 debate!
The hypothesis... "Hetrosexual men and Lesbians are "truer" fans of Prince and his music, as they are not blinded by his looks. They appreciate him 4 his music and stagemanship and want nothing (sexually) from him, thus have no ulterior motives and therefore are more into his music than those who wanna bite the purple plums!" Discuss! Gay fans are the most loyal any artist can hope for. | |

I am in the Prince FamzClub and he's a very attractive person, I love his image and music, and yet I've never been sexually attracted to Prince. I like the look of him, thats what intrigued me to buy Lovesexy and to actually dust off the Dirty Mind record that I was too young to listen too at the time, but when I went through the records by the late 80's I saw recognized him more and I loved what he sung about, not because he was in bikini briefs and a trench coat. I know alot of gay guys who hate Prince and I don't know why, maybe its because he can give them a run for their money in fashion and looks, but as for his music, thats all I'm attracted too. He does have homosexual men and women who are truly into his work, more than any other person. But for some reason I think it equals out! | |

don't blame yourself, piepie...those "masculine and more in self control guys who dig guys" tend to not have the ability to just lose all self-control and understand sarcasm...guess that's one of our more whorish traits... wait, i smell dick...gotta go.
