This is why i would never want to meet Prince.

I'd probably burn all his CD's if he ignored me if i was trying to talk to him.

I understand you wanting to respect your friend. Still, this doesn't help me as an audience to your claims/story to only have half the story. How did he know your friend was gay?

Prince can be a douchebag (we all can) does that automatically make him homophobic?

It's a bullshit story. When you say it, doesn't it taste like a greasy coin in your mouth?

U have got 2 b kidding about thinking that the man with "more hoes than a golf course" is gay right? If there were any truth to that it would have definently been a E true story of it especially in the era we are living in now, so u can mute that rapple dapple u spittin!

humour: go check it out in the dictionary

undisputedpurpleboy said:

Isn't it "more holes than a golf course"?

nah he loves gays especially the churchy ones.

Why don't You ask this question directly to Prince?

DiscoMafia said:

Homophobic or not, at the very least Prince was simply rude. A simple response of "Thank You" wouldn't be too much to ask ?

Why the sudden change of view Mindflux?? I totally agreed with ur first posting. I find that article highly questionable. I read it 4 the first time & thought,`Is that it?` He could also have meant str8 people being promiscuous or perverts who are interested in children or animals. I`m gay & I dont believe in gay marraige either as IMO why would gay people want 2 emulate str8 relationships? Isnt P entitled 2 an opinion? In this context if he says he was misquoted I believe him!

Have U Wanted 2 Play With Someone So Much U`ll Take Anyone Boy Or Girl?

Eh, Eminem did the same

For those mentioning Prince's wardrobe being gay-compatible--well, uh, good of you to play on the stereotypes of how gay men dress, but that doesn't show an absence of homophobia (it merely suggests he doesn't conform to the societal constructions of gender).

Yes, but the original post said, "Prince would not talk to him directly because he was gay."

I only meant that Prince not speaking to "his friend" is hardly evidence of anything..including homophobia. If we follow the faulty logic suggested (Prince doesn't talk to gay people) then, how could he possibly talk to Elton John? This story has "more holes than a golf course."



Someone mentioned that Prince may be "ultra conservative". I pointed out Prince's clothes/makeup/heels simply because it is not conservative at all. Wasn't talking about how gay men dress, but thanks for the quick assumptions.

Before Prince contacts the org and has this thread locked, can I just say... maybe your friend spits when he talks. Straight or gay, it's gross.

And with that said...

squirrelgrease said:

do you know that BECAUSE your friend is gay Prince didn't speak to him directly?

strange coincidence perhaps, we've all heard the stories about Prince not quite acting right in social situations with his staff.

i suspect that people are more gay then others and prince ain't one of them honey. at the last prince show i went to there's alot of gay folx i met there in person. prince knows this cuz there's obviously alot of gay folx in the audience. just another story about what someone heard

I did not direct my comment toward you; it reads "for those". It was more in reference to Mindflux' remark. Assumptions asunder!

And my Eminem remark was for play; don't be so defensive!
Peace.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was all over men back in the 80s and now is totally against it. He's the definition of a hypocrite so...

LOL

all this "Prince is homosexual" speculation,

I bet those who accuses Prince being homosexual are homosexuals themselves.

Close this....

thedance said:

no need for this comment. Beside most homosexuals have their own gadar. They don't need to speculate on such pointless trivialities.

thedance said:

Any thread that uses the word "homo-something" isn't the same as "Prince is gay".

Re-read the original post and discover that the topic is actually the exact opposite.

But yeah, this topic can safely be
it can go nowhere from here other than reach the 1000th reply.

Yes.

That same tour ELTON JOHN was on-stage with Prince. Quite clearly, this was at Prince's invitation. Elton is one of the most famous homosexuals on the planet.

About a year or so ago, there was footage of Prince entering Elton John's AID's charity benefit. There he was greeted by both Elton and his married partner David Furnish.

Perhaps Prince just took a dislike to your friend?

Let's continue to judge a man we do not know based on hearsay. It says more of what we want Prince to be, instead of who he really is.

Let's continue to judge this man on what he does not do. It says more of what we want him to do, instead of what he really does.

I personally think that "homophobic," is a senseless word.

The only thing to be afraid of is a tasteless homosexual breaking in a painting one wall sweet potato and the other muddy olive.

Prince? Almost certainly: deeply conservative sell out to the Good Book.

Bob Marley, now: definitely.

This all does remind me of the time that Bob Marley met Prince backstage after a gig in... Los Angeles?

Don Taylor, Marley's manager, introduced the two.

Prince was wearing suspenders, I think, and high heels. He put his hand out and Marley, unreconstructed Jamaican homophobe, turned on his heels.

Ta ta. Wouldn't shake his hand. Or so the story goes.
