I'm a straight white Georgia boi....go figure...I could really care less how or with whom Prince gets an orgasm (or anyone else for that matter)...all I'm concerned with is his music....thats what is real and that is what matters...

I'm straight and have listened to P's music for about 20 years. One of my best friends in high school was a crazier fan, used to dress like him (down to the hair, which was extremely brave of a brother in the 1980s in a predominantly black school). He had a lot more explainin' to do than I.

Musicians are granted a lot more leeway. And, when you're a black teen playing guitar in your school's stage band, folks assume you're a Prince fan based on skin color alone (ironic, given Prince's early comparisons to Hendrix instead of to Santana -- but I digress). But most people have enough sense to separate musical admiration and sexual attraction. The premise of this thread, I think, misses that point and ties too much to Prince's image and sexual ambiguity.

Male musicians also, if straight, are assumed (often perjoratively) to be ladies men. So -- unless we're primping in mirrors all the live-long day or batting our eyes at someone and cooing, "Owoowah!" coquettishly -- people aren't going to assume that being a Prince fan has shaped our sexuality one way or another. He might be ambiguous, but that doesn't mean his heterosexual fans are.

I am a male heterosexual.

I have never even thought of describing my admiration for him as 'heterosexual'.

Moreover, I've never considered Prince to be 'ambiguous' in terms of his own sexuality, although I can see why some people get confused - and invariably I find they were already confused anyway.

Str8 guy here and I can tell you there must me a zillion fans like us. It's all about the music man!!

Heterosexual ? Gay ? Bi ? Black ? White ? JW ? Jude ? In fact, what's the difference ? I'm straight and i never give a shit about Prince sexual orientations. It's all about his music. Peace 2 everybody

Straight white male, fan since I was 12-13 years old and "Little Red Corvette" was all over the music video shows.


Not many people understand Prince. (That aren't die hard fans). Most think he's flamboyantly gay, almost none know he's married (or even for the 2nd time). Most have never heard him speak, and dwell on the "high" voice from the song "Kiss".

Couldn't agree more.

I'm an Straight-Male Prince Fan.... but...

Who Cares??

As long as we enjoy the music, it doesn't matter what our sexual prefference, right?

Mani is really a woman, right?

I'm homosexual and wish Prince would butch up a little.

I'm right here baby

I am totally Metrosexual, and if Prince wasn't gay he would be too

Why don't you just get straight to the point instead of farting around the issue?

Question: Are there any straight men in the Org?

Answer: Yes.

Example: Me.

Yes, and I think he's relating an attitude that many of us have encountered.

One of the most moronic things ever said to me was after I had told a particular person I was a Prince fan, and they had given me the obligatory look of total incredulity, they then said "Oh, you must be gay then". The only correct response to such a statement is "Fuck off, you moron".

It's sad but true that many people who don't know any better view Prince and Prince fans as sexually ambiguous, or gay. A bit brain-dead of them really, considering that for the past 20 years or so, magazines and papers around the world have shown thousands of pictures of Prince with various women wrapped around him, and not one (that I'm aware of) with a man wrapped around him.

Non Prince fans seem to care a great deal, not only about Prince's sexuality, but about the sexuality (and mental stability) of Prince fans...



and sadly non Prince fans just don't seem to get that.

It's heartening (although not surprising) to hear that there are other straight male Prince fans out there who feel as if they're the only one - Me too! In fact, and I find this really fucking sad, I have never even met another Prince fan in person (outside of a Prince concert, that is)! Sad, isn't it. OK, I've met people who like Prince, have an album or two, but never another 'career' Prince fan. Sometimes I think I'm the only Prince fan in Ireland. I know I'm not because his concerts always sell out here!
Where the hell are all these fans, and why have I never met any of them?

I guess after 20 years I'm finally getting used to the weird looks and attitudes people give me when I tell them I'm a Prince fan.
What still gets to me is when they ask why. I sometimes even give a polite answer to that question.

I have been a fan from the start of his career and in te early days, you took a beating if you were a guy and loved Prince. I didnt care. The chicks dug him and they seemed to dig the fact that I knew the music and had the look (I was a teenager). Prince got too much pussy for any of those "fag" rumors to stick on him or his straight man fan base. It actually helped me get girls.

If you are brave and stand up for yourself - like Prince always has - you have no problem

Paris9748430 said:

Don't worry, your not the only straight male prince fan. Also, you don't have to explain something like that to other guys. They're just saying it make themselves feel more masculine. Sounds pretty childish.

As a teen I listened to Prince, Bowie's 70s stuff and the Cure (with the lipstick and all). My parents gave me ample opportunity to "come out" because of that. They're so sweet. But alas, women only for me. Or more precisely: one woman only for me.

Haha, Right on!

This thread is way stupid for an STRAIGHT answer!

Everything you said is true. So so sad.

I'm a straight Tottenham Hotspur fan which is strange because they play like a bunch of Fancy Dan's.

Im straight, and i think prince is a really good lookin guy, and i wish i could have hes looks but i can only wish

I am as straight as they come and I have been a fan for 20+ years....I am secure enough in my straightness to say that he is one fine, if not strange brother. If I were a woman, I would want to jump him just like my wife does.....

savoirfaire said:

Exactly!!!


Straight here!

npgee said:

hetero woman here and i totally agree with you in the opposite sense. people always act like i fantasize about sleeping with the man instead of just really digging his music. and then they act like i'm lying when i say i don't find him sexually attractive - attractive yes, just not sexually. it is frustrating . . . 'cause i'm more into REAL relationships NOT idolozing someone or fantasing about it . . . sorry to cut in on the guy talk resume . . .

Don't get too secure there.

Paris9748430 said:

nope. eye'm wit U. Eye get the same thing sometimes.

I admire the music, by the way. Also, IF the subject were to come up, it would simply be explained as having admiration for a guy (or woman if that were the case) to come up with such a broad-based catalogue of good music and energy, that's all. Anything taken from it more than what it is is not worthy of any response, IMO.
