I seem to recall one of Prince's ex-wives having said, or at least strongly hinted, that Prince was an out and out homophobe. Doesn't exactly point to his being gay, does it? [Edited 3/19/12 16:24pm] When you don't have a case, yell RACE! | |

i would flip if i found out prince was gay, not because of any latent homophobia (i have nothing against houses), but because it would turn an album like dirty mind and the image that accompanied into a lie. wasn't he asked in uptown, "are u gay?"? his answer was pretty succint and unambiguous, "no, are u?" the bikini briefs, stockings and flasher mac was a way to screw with convention and it's rigid view of masculinity and sexuality. in his younger days i think prince was so enamoured with himself that he quite liked the idea of being fancied by the boys too but i would think his attitude towards homosexuality today must be unquestionably affected by the religion he studies. don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed.... | |

prince is NOT a gay black man who owns 200 ballons! i cannot let you say that about him!!!!! | |

Prince as a "black man" was very much a later in life thing, sorta
Prince always had a mutt aura about him, so he could sing from both sides
Yes Family Name sung by a white man is seriously easy, it's not that deep. That idea is way 2 racially defined. It's almost like saying all black people think very socially aware and conscious and all white people are priviliged and shallow | |

I have a lot of gay friends and it is possible to be a homophobic homosexual. It is also possible to love women and be homosexual. Should it matter whether or not Prince is gay, bisexual, whatever? Sadly it does if your career is based on appealing to a main stream audience - would Rock Hudson have been a success if he had come out early in his career? Whatever the truth about Prince he is wise to maintain his mystique. | |

Prince is heterosexual. However, I don't believe he is as extroverted and confident with women as he proclaims to be with his persona. I mean, considering he's never with any who aren't impressionable, weak, and docile. So that whole "suave seducer" image is a fallacy to me, but he's still not into men.

Great points. Especially when one reads many of the homophobic comments on here. And it is beyond me why someone should have to label themselves regarding who they love and put their feelings in a box and the same thing goes for race. There wasnt even a concept of race until the 1700's when the British began using it to justify the slave trade. Same with gender in most ancient societies it was not the same divisional concept like it is now. There are plenty of celebrities/people that go on the down low (eddie murphy, etc) for just this reason. Just because someone is married and has children means nothing. Same sex experiences are far more common than most people realize as Kinsey documented in his studies years ago. All species engage in same sex activity so it is mystifying that people are so hung up and repressed on the issue. But then like the ignorant on here who can unequivocally say someone is or isnt gay (as if they personally know the person and spend every waking minute with them) it speaks to the delusional life many people lead regarding celebrities and how they project their issues and fantasy onto them. Who ever someone chooses to be with the emphasis should be on love and not something defined by society like gender or race.

If Prince WAS gay and Morris Day WAS gay, which I don't think either of them are, I don't believe they'd be going at it with each other. I think they have a good friendship/business relationship and sexual thoughts between the two of them wouldn't come into play.
Now, if Prince was gay, he'd probably be messing around with some no-name guy from the around the neighborhood, or gayborhood. | |

And having said that (above), I've worked with many women throughout the years that normally would be extremely attractive had they not been a coworker. When you work with someone on a regular basis she starts become like a sister and not a "hottie".
But of course, the first couple days you work together you walk around with a boner. After a while the boner goes away and you just think of her as a coworker. Then you get into a work argument and pretty soon you can't stand the c*nt. | |

berniejobs,
With all due respect, you may want to hold your tongue regarding how you refer to women.
You're, surprisingly, just not that funny.

Spinlight,
Don't be sorry; that was an excellent starter for conversation. I would love to see if we can expand here regarding Prince's conscious and unconscious directing of colour into both his music and brand. You are introducing some intriguing and insightful critiques, a rarity in these days of the .Org, so thank you. Unfortunately, my work beckons elsewhere, but I shall return soon. Hopefully, if the thread is not locked by then, I shall respond here. But, alas, if the trolls force their hate, then I would like to be so humble as to begin a thread anew (or by all means, if you wish to, please do so) regarding Prince's racial direction. As many have pointed out, there is a reason why I mentioned Prince as being black. Unfortunately, thus far, you have been the only person who has demonstrated the breadth to look beyond the issue of his sexuality.
Hold onto your wit, Spirit | |

How can you call anyone in here "ignorant" when you posted this fictitious nonsense?
And no one can ever make an objective comment about Prince's intentionally satrical image without you calling somebody "homophobic." And what's ironic is that he wouldn't even agree with what you're saying either. If anyone is "projecting issues" around here, it's you, repeatedly, among others.

I like your style, WaterInYourBath.
But can I ask you to keep it polite? We all make awful errors on the .Org. It's an occupational hazard. At least, juliejuliejulie is bringing something to the table, even if it might be considered questionable.
