Prince - a gay old time?

Do any of y'all know, in light of his strong religious beliefs, how Prince feels about homosexuality?

Who cares?
He is not.
I am. I do not care.

Sometimes his lyrics reflect a certain freedom, other times they reflect limitations.

Nobody is perfect, but it seems Prince is a very kewl dude.

The question is; are YOU?

I am gay. Just wanted to know if he was cool with it. Most Christian religions, including Jehovah Witnesses, find it sinful. I would feel better about supporting him as an artist if I knew that he was cool with my lifestyle. I certainly respect his rights to his beliefs.

As to my photo, I'm just too pretty. Use your imagination.

I think he's keeping his mouth shut on that one. He will loose a significant chunk of his remaining fans if he starts preaching against homosexuality.

He's AGAINST homosexuality but maybe he doesn't want to say it because he's afraid not to loose some of his fans wink

The P of old clearly wasn't troubled by homosexuality. In fact, one of the things I loved about him early on was that he posed the question about himself ("Am I straight or gay?") without feeling the need to provide an answer. He simply didn't care enough about what anyone thought to bother.

But, it's obviously a different story with the new P. Although it seems like he's trying to be low-key with his beliefs on this matter, two recent situations tell us all we need to know about where his head is now.

The first was his reported comment to a group of guys at a ONA afterparty. (Paraphrasing) "Where are your girlfriends at? I get nervous when I see a group of guys together without any girls." WTF!!!

He best not come around me in the club because I'll be surrounded by dicks like a mf'er.

The second bit of evidence was somebody's report that at a ONA show, Prince indicated (don't remember his actual comment) that he wanted the guys to stop shouting "I love you" to him. Now that's just plain sad.

But, people change I guess. As long as he keeps the bs to a minimum, I'll be able to hang.

Peace, David

Yes, he's cool with it. He hired lesbians for his band.

Actually, he said he doesn't mind guys shouting "I love you" as long as they do it during the loud rock numbers and not during the soft acoustic numbers. smile

The Antwerp ONA after party took place in the Red&Blue, quite the decadent homo joint. So i don't think it's an issue 4 him.
