Is Prince gay? No.

Reasons:
1. He has had too many GIRLfriends.
2. He has supported Prop 8
3. He is a JW.
4. He has openly said he is not gay in lyrics.
5. All of his love songs are dedicated to women he has had relationships with.
6. He has been married twice both times to women.
7. Not one person who has worked for him has ever come out and said he was gay, they have ALL said he is straight.


... the above statements are NOT homophobic.

no, this time they are not.

good for you.

While I do not believe Prince is gay, those above statements are not proof of that. tons of men who are gay have girlfriends, gay men I know support prop 8, I know gay JWs, gay men dedicate or sing songs to women ALL the time, gay men get married, and there is (supposedly) someone who has said Prince messed around with dudes. No one here can prove Prince is straight. No one knows other than him and his sex partners. Why people let it upset them when Prince is called gay is beyond me.

What is important though, is that it does not matter if he is or not.

They are not homophobic, they are irrelevant.

I've never believed Prince to be gay, but to present anything listed above as evidence is pretty pointless.

I really don't understand why folk get so bent out of shape on this subject. Either side.

If you think he's gay, think so or say so and carry on. If you don't think he's gay, the same. Why do people lose their damn minds and bring threads to a halt over such stupid stupid shit? Really.

To the folk who are so hellbent on defending Prince's heterosexuality:
If y'all didn't get so riled up over it, there would be a lot less Prince is Gay posting (or at least debates would not get as heated). You're giving folk a by doing so and if you give people a laugh, they'll come back for more.

Ma'am How old are you? Kids get tease for these things like that at school. If the Adults that will set High standards and not, act childish it will not be any bully. It's not O.K to tease. And you're Wrong (not trying to offended).
I teach kids to respect it's a lot of kids like Prince and his Music. An that's my Opinion. I respect yours Thank You.

For The 100x

Dont Play Me
Album: The Truth 1998

Don't play me
I'm over 30 & I don't smoke weed
I put my xxx away & music I've played
aint the type of stereo U're tryin to feed
Don't play me
Don't play me
I use proper English & I'm straight
I'm in the news again for paying dues my friend
And not the type of ganda U prop in my way
Don't play me

Don't play me
I've been to the mountain top & it aint what U say
Don't play me

Don't play me
I'm the wrong color & I play guitar
My only competition is well in the past
Time & time if time existed movin ever so fast
Don't play me

U couldn't play enough of me now
2 make me feel like a star
Don't play me I already do in my car
Don't play me

Don't be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe how U call us Niggers aint the same
It's all good when u know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God & the joy U get to say his name
Don't play me

Don't play me
I've seen to the mountain top & it aint what U say
Don't play me

There it is and in these lyrics again....

Baby didn't say 2 much - she said, "Are U gay?"
Kinda took me by surprise, I didn't know what 2 do
I just looked her in her eyes and I said, "No, are U?"

It is clear... I don't know any gay men who say that..

It's a bit depressing how fast this thread went off topic. I wonder if it is the word "gay" that make some people fly up and do the auto commenting as in "not gay ever no no no" and so forth. It's even more depressing, that the auto-commenters seem to want to focus on feminine clothes when discussing "them gays", rather than what it's about .. love.

Anyway, the story really does say more about this "Angela's" perception of how gay men are than it does about gay men. But that's actually the core point, I think, when people want to claim Prince is gay, or not, based solely on his appearences. Everytime I hear the statement that feminine characteristics equals homosexuality I throw up in my mouth and think to myself: "Man, you need to get out there and meet some people, face the real world". Loads of people aren't gay even though they don't look like Bruce Springsteen and look more like Prince (and loads of people are gay, looking like Bruce Springsteen and nothing like Prince).

I have a handful of gay friends, and what will strike most people about most of them, is that there's "real world gay" and then there's "eccentric tv-gay". Either is fine by me, but "tv-gay" is not really a uniform or a code of conduct that most gay men adopt. There's no natural law that makes the color pink equal to sitting on sticks. And when there's no such law, there's no logic in concluding that the clothes Prince wear says anything about who he falls in love with.

Anywho, this all obvious statements, one should think. I can not say that Prince is definitely gay or that he definitely isn't. All I'm saying is that nobody can, at least not on the boring concept of apprearance.

It's like thinking men in leather jackets must be into S/M.

Thank-You Cravens, You are right!! Because it learn me something, an I just wanted to share. I love God!!! And I don't think he would want me to judge. Look at an Brother or Sister Sex, Race,Religion, or try to changed their opinion. To treat people with respect, because at the end God Will Judge. We are Human Being that need love. That's why I think why we are drawn to Prince his lyrics are so special. One of the orgers Nelson.R said Prince Lyrics are like his children. And that means a lot. Why? Because he really puts throught in his lyrics. Anybody that train in classical music or no the arts no this. MOZART, he loves his music the throught process is very passionate to them. Mozart and Prince that a combination




Prince lyric are like his children

yea... i am not sure "i sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth" is the kind of thing ones says to their children.

This is for all the people who think that Prince is gay.

I have a sister who once thought this man who worked at a beauty salon was gay but he was not. Here's the story...

My sister (lets call her Angela) used to go to this beauty salon all the time to get her hair done. There was this man there that I didn't favor much but Angela sure did. She really liked him and wanted to go out with him. But he was so feminine. More than Prince. She told my other sister (lets call her Ashley) that he seem gay and he sure as well might be. So Ashley went back and told the man at the beauty salon and he confronted Angela in front of about 15 people in the salon. He said "I ain't gay! I like girls.. I liked you but since you thought of me as gay I'm not going to ask you out... you know cause 'I'm Gay'". She was so mad at Ashley and so hurt. Now the man that was really masculine in the shop said that he was the gay one and that she really missed out on a "fine man such a him".

So this just goes to show that you don't know who somebody is. The only thing you can do is wait for an answer.

I wanted to know why does some of the gay orgers (im not trying to offend anyone) think that Prince is gay and what are some charateristics that you'd think he's gay? What would make you think he's gay?
