Prince is very feminine to me, very pretty. He's flirted with being both sexes for years.



Do you think he might be repressing that to some degree lately?

His fashion in the last few years have been so 'conservative' for Prince

I don't believe he is gay at all, but I do believe he likes to wear things that are a mix of male and female and even during the 02 shows where he was dressed pretty 'straight' you would see photos of him out at night with something more 'sensual?' or soft? like the lace ruffled black shirt, something he hasn't worn on stage in a while

Even in the last year he started looking more like Prince outside of those suites

You really need to stop putting gay people down. Your true colors are shining thru. disbelief


no one is putting gay people down...if i say Prince's way of carrying himself tend to mislead some people who are not fans, to assume he is gay, am i gay bashing here?
Hell no! There is nothing negative about anyone being gay.But if at any point you can find any offensive statements, my apologies...my brother (gay), who's my closest family member is a member on here and he knows me better than that.

If, in 2009, there are still double standards labelin someone as gay/straight based on how their dressed...
then I think the ppl that think that way need to open their eyes and their minds a lil more...
cause they sure as hell can't watch a thug walkin the street and tell me for sure that he's straight,
nor can they swear for a man in a business suit!
We're in 2009 for Christ's sake!

Prince said he's not gay and he's 'against' homosexuality.
Why are ppl claimin to know stuff they don't really know?! confused
None of us been in his bedroom after all confused
I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh

Now that Prince is Jehovah's witness yeah he's against homosexuality! Being gay and bi are two different things.

The majority of prince songs are about howmuch he wants to do a woman or how much a beautiful girl turned him down when she did not answer her phone or she cheated on him or she is married to another man but wants him to get with her.Bythese songs alone iwould say that he is not gay LOLOLOLO BUT.....One never knows

Let me openly address the Marilyn Manson issue, which has bothered me for years.

Okay.

Prince has said he is straight. He's dated, and been married, to some of the most beautiful women in the world.

Marilyn Manson, on the other hand, has admitted to being "bi". In fact, when I saw him in concert back in the 90's, he talked about being sexual with 14-year-old boys. Sure, he was just looking for shock value, but still... Prince has never gone that far.

Trent Reznor was also rumored to have slept with Clive Barker.

So, the white fans of Manson and Nine Inch Nails, who would proudly go to a Manson concert or sport a NIN sticker on their beach-jeep, are the same fuckers that say "Prince is a fag".

What the hell? Oh, the irony!

I think it is pyschological. When Manson dresses up like a woman and acts gay, you KNOW it is for shock value. You know that he is trying to stir things up and you know he's laughing behind the whole thing.

It's ok for Manson to come on stage wearing assless pants, years after Prince did it.

But when Prince did it, he did it with a straight face. It didn't seem like a goof. Prince blends femininity so smoothly into his daily life, that people believe it. Because he doesn't smile while doing it, people just write him off as "gay".

It's like the jock that dresses up like a woman on Halloween. All the other jocks laugh WITH him because it's Halloween.

Prince dresses like a woman in July and the jocks laugh AT him.

Well, you know what? Prince got the last laugh. He wore eyeliner to THE SUPERBOWL. The ultimate jock-fest was headlined by someone who is "gay".

Hahaha. Eat that you jocks.

THANK YOU>>> very close to what i was trying to say with the original post, then eveyone jumped on me, some saying "my true intentions r surfacing"...you just made a point based on YOUR observation, and thats all i was doing with the original post...there are many people out there who are not fans, who accepts other artists who play with the feminine look, but, when Prince is just being prince, he his flagged as gay/fag whatever, and labeled as disgusting (and many do label him disgusting as if...), including some celebs also, Slash, Mark Walburge...fans on here need to face it and stop denying, there are many people out there who will go to the grave believing that prince is gay because of looks alone, sad but true...and there are die hard fans who also think that way...it doesnt matter how many times he sings "pussy control"...I do believe Prince is straight...but personally i dont care, gay / straight,he is just cool 2 me...

I definately agree with everything you said

how many of those ministers in the last few years who were staunch & outspoken about homosexuality and then were found to be sleeping with men, while married to women??

Yes being gay and bi are 2 different things but it still consists of same sex attraction

I don't think just because someone is of a specific relgious denomination that they are against homosexuality, "People even in very bible based churchs keep there opinion to themselves"

true, but then who but his loyal fans knows this? alot of people in the general public knows the "purple rain guy" wears heels , bikini, heavy make up ..to them he's no different from Rue Paul...i've heard ignorant people who candidly refer Prince in those categories...but we as fans know otherwise...at the end of the day, it doesnt matter, prince's way of carrying himself is his choice...cant really blame anyone who categorize, he draws that kind of attention to himself, so be it.Gay /straight / bi shouldnt matter to anyone.

how people think prince is gay is beyond me. Hes very, VERY much not lol.

I dress very feminine, boot cut, tight black trousers, glittery scarfs, women's necklaces, pointy, clashing shoes, eye liner, face powder, i use women's products to take care of myself like, sensual oils, moisturises, lip care, straighteners for my hair, i wear tight shirts and jah knows what else! Women just have 200x better selections than men. Plus, i dislike trend following.

And man, im obsessed with women, gotta be around em 24/7 and you know what? The girls love it. Its different.

Also, who said all this is gay exclusive? Only one so sure of himself can be totally free 'Uptown'.

I'm androgous at times but does that make me gay? Jesus Christ people you're gonna have to realize that people are always gonna think stupid shit about Prince being gay even after he's no longer living, we're just gonna have to just expect that and move on. Yes, it's annoying but you can't convinces ignorant people about the truth.
Besides, I thought we came to the conclusion a long time ago that prince is a lesbian trapped in a man's body. razz

society labels prince as gay ? since when ?


wink

home work..go to the mall..pick 20 people randomly..and ask "Prince, straight or gay" then come post your poll : )


Did this for a laugh at lunchbreak. was bored and had nothing better to do. But It was fun.
Got lot's of "who? Prince William, Harry, Charles, Edward (cough!)". Most people 30plus went for straight, younglings went for gay or unsure (but most had to be told who he was, which isn't good. neutral . Pensioners, didn't have a clue, even with a picture. "He's the Prince of where?" etc but didn't want to label him besides he "looks strange" lol

Final toll-

Straight - 9
Gay - 6
Unsure - 5

Didn't really do this but i'd imagine this how it would pretty much go!















lol
