Sorry, I don't get it at all - what is the purpose of this ban? If someone asked you to not be gay for 24 hours, would you accept it?

Prince is very, very camp. A lot of us have experienced reactions from other people to this and other sides to his persona. Why shouldn't we talk about it?

Surely this is the sort of thing we should be talking about on such a day.

vivid said:

It's not about not being gay... it's just about some respect towards gay people... that being gay is not just being a big joke or being a source of juvenile humor. This is basically the public's attitude towards gays... I don't see anything wrong with having 1 day where people cool down with this attitude.

EDIT: I see your point that this is a topic that should be discussed. I'd agree if it was a serious discussion about the homophobic reactions of people. But the thread is really just another "gay humor" thread...

crazydoctor said:

But it's not even about gay people - it's about Prince being 'camp' which is a much closer synonym for 'fey' than 'gay'.

vivid said:

ok. I guess I don't really get this fey thing.

crazydoctor said:

So, are you gay but not fey?

I have always thought that the song that is most ambiguous towards Princes sexuality would be Anna Stesia...

Have you ever been so lonely you would play with anyone boy or girl...

to paraphrase.

Plus that is one P's most powerful songs... it really portrays that energy you imagine when you think of Prince and his crossing of sex and religion.

vivid said:

neither gay nor fey. well, I like some campy stuff so maybe I'm fey.

crazydoctor said:

Ah, but do you enjoy the fey stuff in front of your macho friends?

hollywooddove said:

Yeah that's a great example. Very mysterious, back when mystery was a thing he did so well and we loved him for it!

clbrooks said:

It is a great example of him being ambiguous regarding his sexuality, but it isn't 'fey' as in 'La la la means I love you'

You're right though - he was very good at that.

vivid said:

hmmm... don't really have any macho friends.

crazydoctor said:

So you have never felt the OP's pain.

vivid said:

nah, not really.

ThreadBare said:

TheVoid said:

cleanse the palate, eh? "yeah! rage and aggression! We heteros like our men to be manly!!"

My friends love Prince too so it's all good.

I think straight guys dig Princey's music just not the way he looks and dances. But hey...Princey will put the bitch hall of fame smack down on you fast and furious if you should ever question his manliness and hetero aura.


For real though....it doesn't take much to get any of you Y chromosomes to go limp. Y'all just aint made to last. You're like batteries. You have a shelf life/expiration date and although you can be re-charged at times...for the most part you don't work as good as when you first got snatched. And there is that random socket issue. Ever notice how you stick a plug in a certain socket and it all of sudden comes out bent? You're like WTF, how did that happen? It went in straight.







Why you lookin' at me like that? This is Dan's gay ass Prince thread not mine. Shit, I just came to visit.

DesireeNevermind said:

I'm straight and I've always loved his look and dancing, as much as his music.

I'm also straight when it comes to random sockets Not all of us should be measured by the same yardstick

I haven't done this in years and years. But at one time, I was quite proud of being a Prince fan, so I would try and play his music around my friends. Sometimes, they'd dig it--sometimes not. But there are just certain parts in songs that are like cryptonite to heterosexual males--even men that aren't intrinsically homophobic, that are so full of FEY that it makes them wince. Some friends of mine came over once to help me run CAT-5 Cable throughout my new home (wireless hadn't caught on yet), and I was bumping to Emancipation. Then "La la la means I love you" came on (during random play), and the part where Prince starts singing "So many guys have come to you...." one of my friends yelled "Dan!!!!" as in [i]'Dan, you gotta be fucking kidding me...[/i]' and I said, "It's a good song! " Then the part where he sings , "Can U listen to me..." and does some super high pitched dog-whistle cry/laugh/yip yip type of thing I get a unanimous, "Dan!!!" from all 3 of my friends. We eventually had play to Nine Inch Nails. It seems there are certain Prince records that repel some heterosexual males. Emancipation, LoveSexy, For You---all of them can cause limp dick in that regard. Have you ever tried playing your songs to straight guys? How do they react? It seems a Prince fan has to "get" Prince much like a Smiths fan has to "get" The Smiths to understand the brilliance. And yes, Prince is extremely gay in so many, many ways--but he's also very straight. He's complex. . [Edited 5/13/10 21:11pm]

In my circles of friends, post high school, I am the only one who likes
Prince. Most of my straight friends just do not understand
Prince, they just think he is weird or nasty.

In high school, 25 years ago, alot of my friends loved
Prince, especially the ballads. It was great making out
music, great sexy stuff. And it still is.

I hope Prince puts one or two sexy ballads on the new cd.

And I do not think Prince is gay. Prince is in touch
with his feminine side but that does not make him gay,
it makes him well-rounded emotionally and spiritually.
