People talk about gay like it's something bad.

Tired subject.

Hi Vendetta!

You're right. Some people here put homosexuality in the same sentence with crime, sex offenders, drug abusers and so one. And they want to pretend they have nothing but L.O.V.E. and understanding for A.L.L. of us. You know who I'm talking about

Do you think his music and religion would be different significantly?



The reason why I postulate that it might be different is that it's very obvious when Prince is being interviewed that we never get to see the 'real Prince'.

He's extremely guarded, and doesn't like to reveal his darker side during interviews. It's often about God and such. Even during the Oprah interview, just after some tragic moments, he went ahead with the interview but wasn't really open. I wouldn't blame him of course--who wants to talk about such things.

But none the less, Prince has over the course of much of his life been very guarded about his personal and private life.

Where he is explicit is when discussing fantasy (during his younger years) , and religion.



I think Prince would probably have a very complex approach to his own homosexuality (hypothetically speaking) in that much of his persona is built around machismo mixed with feminine energy. But as a homosexual, Prince would probably try to mix his gheyness with something more butch. Prince seems to enjoy the 'gemini' combination of juxtapositions. Being gay and feminine would probably seem very dull to him. But then again, it's not too beyond reasoning that Prince would remain in the closet and play up his feminine attributes as an 'act' to deflect attention from his gheyness.


Come to think of it, Prince may not even approach his religion or persona one iota different if he were ghey.

I'd like to challenge the mods with this question..... how come, if anyone else had made this topic, it would be locked... but since it's imago, it's alright?

Is that fair?

There's nothing wrong with the thread whatsoever. People keep taking it off topic and discussing whether Prince is actually gay or not, but that's not the crux of what the thread is about. It's purely hypothetical, an interesting 'what if'. Therefore it stays. Why does the thread irritate you so anyway?

What if threads are nonsense threads, there is nothing to validate their discussion period. If this thread was started by anyone else it would have got the lock. But the mods on here practice favoritism so it stays.

No one can pine for someone and hope they will be gay because they are gay. Prince is not gay and no one can't force him to be gay with silly cartoons and stupid pics/gifs.

Has Imago ever said he wishes Prince were gay? Where does he pine for Prince?

It's not nonsense. However, the posts with nothing but repeated calls for locking the thread and posts consisting of only the dead horse emoticon over and over are report-worthy, if anything, and should be removed by the mods.

He has repeatedly said that Prince is gay, in fact it is a pic he repeatedly puts up here in PM&M. Repeatedly saying Prince is gay will NOT make Prince gay. I think it takes more than that to be gay, right?

So the fact remains that Prince has himself said he is not gay, he has never been gay and will never be gay. So no amount of what if scenarios will change that or make him gay

It's very clear the mods pick favorites, that's ok, you guys can argue it, but I wasn't asking any of you anything at all, now was I?

As long as threads like this are allowed to exist - http://prince.org/msg/7/322710

This one can exist

Exactly!!! I found ten threads like that on the last two pages. People should just be real and say they just don't like Prince being called gay OR they don't like Dan.

He sure does get banned a lot for a mod favorite though.

This thread can be locked on two separate issues:

A. A rumour thread.

B. A nonsense thread.

and on both counts it can die a quick death and qualifies for a

back on topic ...if he is...we would still love him, right?
