Anyway, Prince isn't gay if he was good for him and he can party like a rock star and shit. God, people have been hammering topic this for years, he's 51 years old it does not matter anymore. Fuck what society thinks of him, society itself is already diminshing because of poor choices and warfare. (Okay let me just stop)

... 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...


lol But no one knows the truth! You merely know what you believe. You believe he's exclusively into women. I remember in her lawsuit, his ex-girlfriend Charlene Friend alleged that wasn't the case. A lot of what she said cropped up in other lovers' discussions of Prince's behavior: being controlling, stressing telepathy, etc. The gay affair allegation could've been true, too. Either way, we don't know.

Fine whatever, if his gay great thumbs up! My point is that people are making this into something beyond what it should be....he never he was gay so you can just say that he is. Unless, he said otherwise, to me he's not gay or better yet is beyond sexuality at this point.

But that measure could apply to so much of Prince's career:

    He changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol, initially claiming it was for spiritual reasons but later owning up to it being a contractual/business maneuver.
    He pretended his newborn child was OK, even though it was clear something had gone tragically wrong.
    He routinely announced retirements from recording and touring, even from playing his hits in concert ever again -- only to do all of the above.
    He scrapped the Black Album, only to agree to its release years later
    He hypes up www.lotusflow3r.com before it's released, only to ... well, you know...


None of that makes the details untrue -- just makes them illogical and points to Prince continually conveniently bending and falsifying details of his life to fit his whims.

falloff You have a point but it just goes to show that he's not a very easy individual to understand, especially the YouTube incident... err
rolleyes Still, I don't know yes he's a strange man but then again I wouldn't be too sure to believe this ex-girlfriend's accusations. Maybe it is true, I wouldn't be surprise he does come of as selfish, cruel, and sadistic.spank boff boff2

If Prince is gay, then nobody is straight!!!

I mean really...it doesn't matter how you dress, walk or talk to be gay,it matters who you sleep with, and he is sleeping with w.o.m.e.n.
there's many kings, but there's only one Prince...

He's 51 and if he was gay, an ex lover would have come out with some tell-all book by now. This is America damn it and that significant gay other would have tried to out him by now. His relationships couldn't all have ended amicably. lol

the way you guys are responding to this thread is really upsetting me..there is no specific "gay" look...for example..here in NYC, you go down to the village 2 see who is really at those gay bars, and find out how many of those men have a wife and kids at home..ALOT!! there are alot of men out there who are on the "down low" and then there are ones that are ultra Feminine and are 100 percent attracted to women..so you really cant judge based on how a person looks..i am dissapointed just because all that Prince has ever stood for..and what i really admired him for was that he tried to stay away from being labeled..just like his wide variety of music that isnt exactly "funk" or rock or r&b..i would think that some of Prince's fans would feel the same way...but i guess i am sadly mistaken sad all that goes on up in here is slander, drama and insults.. whatever happened 2 the love of his music and having a united front>>
you all can carry on..
i'll b over here dancing the dance electric with the beautiful ones dancing jig

Prince is not a homosexual, and I am sick and tired of the Homosexual (not Gay) community trying to recruit him and his music for their sick cause. Listen to his music and his lyrics, and you will clearly see that he is heterosexual.

His music has no true sexuality, although it seems he's more on the lines of pansexuality. Still, I somewhat agree with you, people need to stop already, if he said he's gay fine but he hasn't so end it.

i do agree with your post to an extent, except for this line. Yes u are right that one should NOT be labeled by dresscode alone...but on the other hand...we all know that very many people out there do, and Pince knows that too..and YES, he does set himself up to be labeled.Its his choice, he is cool with it...he should never complain if people do label him gay.He is fully aware of what he is getting into and seem to welcome the controversy. So at the end of the day, we are here defending Princes' sexuality when he is out there fanning the flames of speculations..guess we the fans are suckers.

Oh honey, why so upset? Are you a little bit scared of us and our 'sick' cause? Afraid if we 'recruit' Prince the world as you know it will come to an end?

Here's something that will scare you more.....we are everywhere!

I remember one lady trying to stir shit up in court when she failed to pay for some NPG merchandise. The judge had to tell her, in essence, to shut the f@#k up and stick to the matter at hand, her non-payment for merchandise. She tried to bring up Prince hosting orgies at Paisley Park and running from room to room fucking everybody. I gay man wouldn't have been so easily shut up. "He" would have snapped his fingers, thrown his head from side to side and squealed at the judge to mind his/her manners and gotten the story out there (in detail, naming names) for everyone to hear. Then "he" would have ended his tirade with a "You can throw me in jail for contempt your honor ... shiiiiit I said what I had to say." biggrin

... majority of people tend to bring up sexuality when Prince is mentioned...he is labeled as gay because of looks alone(not that its a crime to be)but then these cross dressers are seen as studs &/or just cool ?

1. members of guns n roses
2. steven tyler (aerosmith)
3. even george michael(who is gay but not cross dresser)
5. ...well the typical spandex wearing / cake make up 80's HAIR bands,bon jovi, poison, motley crue and the list goes on...


Those people were/are not cross dressers. Boy George was a drag queen. Steven Tyler was not.

Boy George never really wore womens clothing. Now Rupaul is a Drag Queen!

Was @ home playing scrabble with my girl and 2 of her girfriends.
"father figure" George Michael started playing on the radio...my girl commented "he's hot,pitty he is gay" friend #1,"amen to that" Friend #2 -"he's gay,but i would totally say yes if there was a slim chance he would be willing" we all laughed.
So I opened my big mouth,"what if Prince asked?" my girl looked me in the eyes with disgust, friend #1- "Prince is waaaay too gay for me!" girl #2 "no, i dont think he is gay, but i would rather be seen holding hands down the street with George Micheal...he looks like a man, Prince is digusting and looks too gay for me" So, i asked, "you say Prince NOT gay, but you wouldnt be seen with him cause he looks gay and George who IS gay would be fine to be out with because he doesnt LOOK gay? How fucked up does that sound? Anyway go figure...just thought I would share,I am sure many of us fans encounter dumb ,ignorant comments when it comes to the topic of Prince and his sexuality this was just one of many I've encountered... and it points right back to the original topic of this thread..even though this was just the views of a tiny few, i do know alot of people out there who share similar sentiments...no other artist gets labeled more negatively than Prince( my opinion).I mean, whats so disgusting about him??? why would someone say that?
