Was Prince gay?

When I think "bi" I think of Prince.

Prince was gay.

Was he gay like Yusef Mack or gay gay?

Prince’s Revolutionary, Complicated Relationship With Black Masculinity

Are Fraus overweight?

Do the Russians drink vodka?

Is purple a gay color?

He wasn't gay, he was American.

Vivian Vance.

Imagine Prince fucking a vagina......... theres your answer.

Why isn't non-sexual on your list?

He was as gay as I am without parents, OP.

Am I gay?

He was a fine figure of a red-blooded African American male, OP.

Shut up, you filthy-minded fatties!

There's much more evidence of his heterosexuality than otherwise, therefore he was not gay and this is just another fucked up fruitless DL question.

Trans

He wasn't gay. He was special.

He wasn't gay - he successfully prayed it all away!

Is water wet, OP?

This is why DL often confuses me. The poll reflects that most feel he was Bi.

The posts make it seem that one is a total blind tard if he doesn't think he was gay.

Are the Bi voters just not posting?

I don't care either way. His primary sexual outlet seemed to be with women based on public side and two marriages. It wouldn't surprise me if he had sexual relationships with men. I found him very sexually attractive when I was younger and even then I didn't care whether he was straight or gay. He was the only black man to whom I ever had any sexual attraction.

R21- lets just say, he put on the perfect ambiguous show to leave all in doubt. All except those who knew better! We all but some show on to survive, but very rarely as elaborate as marriage in this day and age!

Prince seems to have been pretty well liked by Datalounge, for the years I've been posting here. Considering how many fans he has here, it's kind of surprising that no one has any good gossip about any of the men he might have been romantic or hooked up with. You guys know every tidbit of minutiae about Vanity, but when it comes to the men he was with there is nothing. That is the only reason I think might've been straight, because there is just no tea there.

Have you heard the term "Deeply Closeted"?- his in reverse: out, flamboyant, 80's AIDS OUTBREAK leads to a trip back in the closet!

OP, you're on datalounge. Like Bowie, despite being married to a woman, Prince was gay. I think they were mostly straight, with bisexual forays.

On tumblr, however, both Bowie and Prince were trans.

Elaine Stritch once said, "Hal Prince is as queer as a three dollar bill."

But then Bernadette Peters said, "Hal? Gay? No way. Not like 'having young chorus boys hanging from leather straps in the basement' gay."

Angela Lansbury chimed in: "Hal Prince is not gay. He's Jewish. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference."

He's a tranny 100%.

I love when he tied his hair up like Aunt Jemima, like a cleaning lady doing laundry! I know a lot of straight people that do that?

nah.. most likely bisexual.

prettier than beyonce, cockier than kanye.....

I have always thought he was gay or bi. He was a MAJOR FEM. He had his eyelashes curled, wore makeup. wore his hair very fem, etc. Maybe he was straight and he was doing all of those fem things to be out of the box for his career because he knew he had to have a gimmick to go with his music in order to become successful in the entertainment world.

Not as gay as Kanye.

He was openly bi in the early 80s and his VMA performances in the 90s certainly suggested he swung both ways.

He was openly bi in the early 80s [citation needed] and his VMA performances in the 90s certainly suggested [subjective opinion] he swung both ways.

This sloppy attitude to “facts” and reasoning is what makes DL so fucking annoying. Give us the REAL gay gossip shit or don’t fucking bother

I think he was bi. The man did whatever he wanted to sexually, before he swallowed the religion pill he must have had good times.

what does “I think he was bi” even really mean? Seriously, THINK it out man

Shut the fuck up r35. What do you want, a note from his mom saying he liked boys and girls? I remember him being bi. It wasn't a secret. He was often referred to as bisexual by the media. Shockingly I didn't keep the press clippings. However if you want to confirm whether this is FACT or not you're going to have to travel back in time and ask him. This is DL, if every piece of celebrity gossip had to be confirmed as fact before we posted it, this site wouldn't exist.

No one can listen to his music and not be aware that he loved fucking women in a carnal way. Predominantly. That said... Similarly, no one can listen to his music and not think he occasionally had sex with men too. He was "mostly heterosexual" ie, BiSEXUAL.

“ I remember him being bi."

Hmmmmmmm

Similarly, no one can listen to his music and not think he occasionally had sex with men too. [citation from study?]

He was feminine and that ruined any possible sex appeal for me. I like masculinity. I believe that like Bowie he was bisexual but in denial or suppression of his gay side for almost all of his life.

Well he never sucked MY cock.

I mean, he was hot so of course he's gay here. But seriously, it would make sense for him to be bi given....look at him...but like R24 I'm wondering where the receipts are for Prince with men. We have them for Bowie in the 70s. Plenty of women musicians have played bi in music and the press to shock and titulate and have later admitted to never being attracted to women. Prince may have been all talk and no action on the gay front. Or...he may just have had air tight NDAs. I've been waiting for real T for years on this, but this week would be a great time for guys he's had (if any) to come out.

I guess the Jealous-of-Prince troll at R35/r37/r40/r41 is back. Yes, he was more successful than you and clearly that drives you crazy AND now your knickers are in a bunch about his sexuality. All I know is that it's guaranteed he's had more sex than you ever will. No citation needed. That's a fact. He's probably still having more sex than you. Move on

Where I come from in deep hinterland 'murica, purple is a color for the lady-fellas!

None of your beeswax, OP.

Did Shakespeare have a way with the word?

R44, I have a second cousin who is a very pretty boy. In the 90s after spending a winter in his car in Minnesota, he ended up being "saved" by Prince. He lived with Prince for about 2 years. When my aunt got wind of this (she had remarried and moved to Orlando, Florida) she disowned cousin's sister for not looking out for younger brother. To this day their relationship is strained. So yeah, Prince took advantage of a down and out white boy in his early 20s. This cousin looks like Travis Fimmel and is a failed musician living with a woman without kids in his mid forties.

How did he take advantage of him, R49? It wasn't that Prince was being kind to a person who is down on his luck? I ask because I have always heard of Prince's generosity.

On another note, I always wonder if Prince was well endowed - does anyone know?

So did Prince save the young man with his Magic Harry Potter Wand?

In some parts of America a house painted purple is a signal that shady ladies are available there. Most commonly though in the rural areas of the deep south.

Ain't no receipts, cuz down-low boyz don't ask no receipt, don't get no receipt.

[quote] He was feminine and that ruined any possible sex appeal for me.

That's precisely why I found him attractive.

His public persona was gayish -- especially in the 80's. He's been linked with women -- beautiful ones, but never with men. Has not been publically linked with even one man, so is he was switch hitting it was done very privately. I think he might have been gay but without seeing him in the act or even hearing gossip about him being with men, I can't be sure. He was a performer and the ruffled shirts and makeup could very well have been a front.

He was a very private person and I think it's telling that despite all "gay" things about him, that no one has ever come forward with a story about him. Not one. So my answer is: maybe, maybe not.

I read a very interesting interview with "Wendy and Lisa" from his band The Revolution. The two "came out" in the 90's and revealed their long relationship as a lesbian couple. Lisa was quoted in the interview saying - "Prince looked at me like a gay woman looks at me. He's a lesbian.'" I believe this.

Prince was gay and Midwestern closeted.

'There are no binaries: understanding Prince’s legacy on gender and sexuality'

So PR "het" relationships now disqualify him from been bi or gay. I was never fooled into believing he actually slept with most of those so called wives and girlfriends. He paraded them around at award shows, events does not mean it was geniue. If he was closeted it will make sense to be seen with varied women to maintain a straight image and destroy gay talk.

He was a CUNT!

So because he wore makeup and heels(while displaying no stereotypical gay mannerisms) he’s gay (not even bi according to many here) even though the ONLY EVIDENCE supports otherwise i.e. straight; yet if he had declared himself a transwoman you’d be calling him a sneaky heterosexual autogynophilic pervy penised threat to women. Y’all understanding of complexity and nuance and especially logic is basic to nonexistent

R61, if this isn't gayface, I don't know what is:

And no, it's not the makeup. It's the coy look in his eyes, the pursed lips, and the head tilt. David Bowie wore makeup but he had far less blatant mannerisms.

Another example:

You’re projecting, flower. I don’t see it. Though I have to admit that the second pic out of any I’ve seen of him comes closest to your fantasy and yet still a million miles off .. I’d venture he looks more “arch” in a Vincent Price Kinda way. Proves nothing, of course either way -- because IT’S JUST A FUCKING PHOTOGRAPH. Jesusfuckingchrist.

I think all DLers should read the Vox piece. And I don't mean because of Prince either. It really gets to the meat of the issues of sexuality and gender and how even THAT can change over time. I think that we will see a lot of trans-regret over the next 10 years: therefore, I really hope that most trans will keep their "equipment."

I still don't know how Prince self identified, but I am not convinced that he acted on all of his desires, mostly due to his religiosity and fear of god. I had no idea he was a Seventh Day Adventist before joining JW. That explains the vegetarianism.

I kinda like that we don't really know...he would have wanted it that way. After all, Prince loved being inscrutable and mysterious.

"doesn't display gay mannerisms"

Oh, my sweet lort. I don't know what Prince liked to fuck (or, really care) but his mannerisms were Pure Queen Camp.

Mincy, twirly, duck facing, pouty, side eyeing, eyebrow arching...he either WAS a queen, or was VERY heavily influenced by them.

OP, To quote Hillary "at this point, what difference does it make"?

He has a face that I would have loved to slap.

R64 you say arch, I say coy. In what world is Vincent Price a straight man?

R66 I agree.

All I know is that I am not much attracted to queens but I would have made out, made love and fucked Prince all day and night. Those lips those eyes that voice those thighs. I would take his pretty lil booty from 1984 till 1999. S E X Y

He's about as gay as Tommy Lee, as in, not at all.

[quote] All I know is that I am not much attracted to queens but I would have made out, made love and fucked Prince all day and night. Those lips those eyes that voice those thighs. I would take his pretty lil booty from 1984 till 1999. S E X Y

I like "queens" (feminine men) and would have "made out, made love and fucked Prince all day and night". As I've written, he's the only black man to whom I've ever felt physical attraction. Perhaps that's because I tend to see black men as very masculine, while I like feminine pretty boys. He was both black and feminine. I wish there were more like him (sigh).

Ask Wendy and Lisa.

All the "straight" people. lol.

Like r59, I have a hard time believing he really had sex with all those women. Did Vanity really fuck him or were they just friends? I know apollonia has said they never hooked up, and Sheila e is gay. have any of his other "proteges" ever talked about it? What is the dirt DL?

If Prince was gay there would have been at least a couple of young male proteges not all these women.

Who are all these women?

[quote] If Prince was gay there would have been at least a couple of young male proteges not all these women.

Supposedly his young male protege, Tevin Campbell, who later came out as either gay or bi and who was arrested for solicitation of a lewd act in a cruising area, was caught by Prince's staff jerking off to Prince during the filming of Graffiti Bridge or one of its associated videos. Prince was performing in a skimpy or shirtless outfit while little Tevin pleasured himself behind a curtain.

Seriously r77?

Well, it's likely the tell alls will start appearing.

Prince was straight, with a fetish for lesbians and cross dressing.

He stole his look from Fee Waybill of the Tubes, whose character "Quay Lewd" was a take-off of the glam rocker scene.

Prince's small stature sealed his fate as a man who obsessed with string, athletic masculine women.

Vanity looked tranny, Sheila E. looked cute & gay, then there's Wendy and Lisa--I could go on and on but I've known a few of these 'male lesbian' types.

And no, he did not have aids.

Prince did not have aids--he was running around doing exhausting shows up until his death. He did not have facial wasting. He was, however, on prescription pain meds for genuine pain. Not a junkie for the thrill of it--he truly suffered and "I feel for you" Prince RIP.

I'm pretty sure he was bi. Doesn't he tell us as much in the song Controversy?

Prince reminded me of Marc Bolan. Pussy privately, bi for business.

Any man who can write a song called Pussy Control is straight.

If your going to judge his sexuality based on his lyrics r85 then was at least bi.

Why can't he have died of AIDS? Regardless, people refuse to accept that. I feel like I'm in 1985. So much homophobia.

He may have r87 but unless your his doctor how do you know for sure? That's just your opinion. Overdosing in an elevator is no more dignified. Either way it's a sad end.

"Was Prince gay?"

Haven't the British asked that question about most of the male royals?

Tevin Campbell was the protegee of Quincy Davis who most certainly turned him out.

R66 Prince ripped from Little Richard. He stole without prejudice.

What R32 said.

On her 1992 syndicated talk show, Joan Rivers asked one of Princes chicks if he was gay. Her response was "NO, her loved women!"

Case closed. (gay or bi)

Fuck off idiot r87. Based off of a Blind Item and a fucked up and actually homophobic wish fulfilment to punish a “homophobe”. Sick cunt. I’ll wait for the FACTS (google it)

his made up face reminded me of Little Richard

r35 and others, e.g. on the MTV show celebrity death match, this claymate Prince has group sex before the match, a man knocks on the door, and he grabs him and tears him inside in a sexual way. Mainstream media don't cover gay and bi rumors a lot, and they should know quite a bit about the sexuality of celebs, if MTV portrays him as bi, he certainly might have been. His basketball past and coming from a very rough climate (Minnesota) and from a provincial area, will have contributed to his homophobia and closetedness.

He had a hair salon in his house. Only he could use it. His wife (first wife) at the time wasn't even allowed to use it. Yeah. I think he was bi at the very least.

Vanity had an extremely feminine face. What about her looked tranny?

Watch Gett Off from the AMA's when he wore the yellow lace outfit w his ass showing (the cut outs). Watch the opening when a man lays on top of him; look at the orgy scene. Another poster in another thread mentioned that Hugh Hefner (the God of straight men) said anybody who's ever been in an orgy (which is what Gett Off is) who says they didn't have some same sex experimentation is a liar. I had read that previously and actually appreciated Hefner's non homophobic self disclosure. There is NO WAY Prince would have done or said some of the things he did if he weren't bi at minimum. No straight guy (especially a little one!) is going to let a big guy lay on top of you when your ass is hanging out. Just listen to his music - opening lines to Anastasia "Havr you ever been so lonely you'd take any one boy or girl?" Straight guys don't say this stuff. As for nobody coming forward, I think he was pretty much in the black/mixed world. Most of us are totally on the DL. Not a surprise. Not believing the the drug stories at all.

Its not that hard to figure out. He was a feminine man who loved feminine things. That occasionally included young, handsome men (of legal age, he was no Michael Jackson). Someone mentioned a guy who looked like Travis Fimmel and yes thats a perfect way to describe his type when he swung that way. But he LOVED women much more... in a very obsessive, controlling way. He was a narcissist, he wanted to fuck people like him. Feminine, girly, glammy.

Some old tea from someone who used to work with him:

'“One of the cleaners told me that when P & Nona were recording ‘Love Sign’ just before I left, she saw P holding Nona up against the console in Studio B & fucking her real hard & apparently she was looking & sounding real satisfied. I was damn near crying when I heard because she is like 1/2 a foot taller so I could never see ‘em fucking in my head”

“With Nona, he was different. Prince flips moods like a switch; sometimes he would smile at me, tell me a dirty joke & laugh or something, & other times he would go off & ignore me even if I asked a direct question (then I had to guess what needed to happen, whoooo chile, not ANY fun) But with Nona he would be universally like, really weirdly nice. He treated her well on the surface, better than Mayte; he used to constantly tell Mayte to lose some weight so she could be “more beautiful.” They shared makeup now & started to look like brother/sister which creeped me the fuck out even more. But yeah, so I heard that Mayte got the ring instead because I think he knocked her up & he is a very traditional man in that he wanted to be a gentleman & take care of his wife & baby. But its a damn shame, he & Nona had a very similar temperament & would’ve made a good couple & some cute chirrens, but Mayte was more ok with taking his demands & being ordered around like a robot. Mayte had NO personality, she was just a mannequin that Prince would dress, tell how to act & what to do/say/believe. I saw this all happening all the time, but looking at their age gap, I ain’t surprised”

about Carmen Electra:

"Oh Carmen, Carmen. Damn, that whole shiz was messed up, just like most of his relationships ahaha & Prince, like he does with his flavour of the month, was obsessed with making her into a star. They were completely infatuated with each other at one point no lies. I remember when she first was in & they were recording her album up at Paisley, he would go on & ON about her, how she was gonna be the “hottest thing in the charts”. Funny he never mentioned her talent; only her looks. Once they were rehearsing on the big soundstage with ALL the trimmings, he kept doing this hand signal (this is how he controls his band, he uses little signals to let them know to fade, get louder, repeat & other shit) & Carmen would literally jiggle her (tiny at the time lol) titties in beat to the music & his face just lit the fuck up. He kept at it, too! I was cracking up at how well he had her trained though. But Lord, she schooled him!

Just like when he always sees a hot youngin to manipulate & mold, he was focused on her & she was his main jump off for a good couple of months. I talked to her a few times & she actually was a sweet girl & boy, she knew what she wanted. Homegirl was really ambitious & I think Prince liked that too.

BUT here is the thing: P HATES his girls to be too independent. He wants not even for their world to revolve around him, but to BE their world. I seen it too many times! Carmen did NOT appreciate being only one of his many sidepieces. I saw that he was starting to get fresh with Mayte by then (& she was a stuck up brat whenever he was around & perfectly nice whenever he wasn’t which damn near irritated me to death.) Prince was fucking with Nona Gaye then too & two other girls, a spanish model called Alisa (didn’t speak much English except cursing) & this tiny brunette girl who never really spoke called Lily who I didn’t get to know.

Carmen was slipping down the roster by this time; her record didn’t do well & Prince hated associating with anything that he brands a failure even if he created it! So he blamed her & cooled right down, so basically ignored her like he usually did. She tried to get him back by being attentive to his er, needs. His chauffeur Michael told me later that she was into giving Prince head whenever she could, especially in the back of his limo AFTER her gigs at the club he owned to satisfy him & he would not even make a sound. LOL, I knew that was unusual in itself cause he has a VOICE on him! After, she went back to L.A. & one of P’s many lookouts he had said she was getting a little too close to other guys in clubs & going to their cribs & what-not. I heard by the time she left (without her stuff) that she slept with many others & that is something unforgivable in that lil’ mans’ eyes.

That ain’t the kicker though!! She left about the same time as Prince’s in-house rapper, Tony M., who was an motherfucking ass. Word is, she was fucking him at the same time & when she left (after a HUGE fight with P, he called her a low-down dirty ho & said she was worth shit) she left her used panties & condoms from other men she had fugged in P’s bathroom in his house!!! She is hella brave & had my respect for that but gotdamn! Prince WAS in fact walking around Paisley looking like he just got slapped for WEEKS after so it all ended real bad. But he was wrong for thinking he could jerk her around but she couldn’t do the same to him. Boy, he learnt.

I don’t get why she lies in her interviews that she didn’t fuck P because she surely did. A lot!! After her album flopped & he lost interest & moved on (like he always did, with everybody, not just her ass) her attitude towards him completely changed & I still think she hates him to this day for him giving up on her. She was tooo ambitious to stay around him"

"Alisa (a Spanish model) was in there for the sex though because once, oh my damn, one of my best purple memories; she came in wearing some real slutty silky robe, heels, makeup etc. Prince walked in and said hi, how are you etc, (I was clearing the main conference room down the hall and they couldn’t see me but I could see them) she literally responded with the words “Fuck me” (in her spanish accent lol) Then she grabbed her little robe, pulled it open and she was completely nekkid underneath!! Prince didn’t even say a word, he shut her robe, took her hand and they left! I was bussing up forreal, damn!"

about Vanity:

"Vanity came on the scene like 1980 and she was originally there on invitation by Rick James till she decided she preferred Prince. Her and Tatiana Thumbtzen (or whatever her name is) was friends and that’s how P got with her too later. Now, the story goes that they saw each other across the room and instantly got obsessed. Prince smooth talked and flirted with her, and then asked her to the bathrooms to swap coats. When he took his coat off, he had nothing on underneath! She must’ve seen something she liked, forreal, cause from that night him & Vanity was an item. You know her stage name was originally gonna be Vagina (like Geena but with the V in front!) but she said no, then P picked Vanity because it’s a girl’s best friend apparently. OK.. Vanity was from a messed up home and allegedly her daddy beat her too. She also had a great sense of humor, and her and P would go to real fancy restaurants and secretly shoot at people with water-guns and then tried to stop their laughing when people kept looking around real confused, like the ceiling was leaking or some shit! Sounds like him LOOOL! Prince ended up pushing Susan (Moonsie) down cause of this, she was originally gonna be the lead of the Vanity 6 project until V came along. His assistant said that once she had to check in on him as he hadn’t been seen for a while! Turned out P and Vanity did not leave his house for days (this was before Paisley was built) because they spent all that time just doing Prince’s favorite things; recording, rehearsing and fucking non-stop!"

"That backwards girl laughing and moaning was actually a tape of Prince and Vanity sexing. My girl heard it all the way through, Prince was being REAL loud on it; this I believe from first-hand experience"

"Prince got tired of Vanity cause she was a real firecracker, she would pop off on P and fuck other men in revenge for him cheating on her. I heard that she wanted to fuck Brownmark, she made the moves on him but P got her ass outta there. Hahahaha cockblock!"

"On the 1999 Tour, P once banged Vanity so hard that she had his hand-shaped bruises on her hips, bad bruising on her inner thighs and hand-prints on her ass! She wore lingerie on the stage performing so they had to cover it up with make-up. Another time, my girl told me, his lighting guy Leroy Bennett overhead Vanity screaming for P to fuck her in the ass real late at night and APPARENTLY before he told her this, she noticed that V was walking real funny that next day and asked her if she was ok. She replied she was “feeling toooooo good!” P I heard didn’t escape, he had to wear more color on his lips cause Vanity had a habit of biting, bruising/swelling his lips and scratching up his back and shoulders! My DAMN, he liked the wild chickas back then!"

"Once Prince stayed home from the studio and took Susannah Melvoin on a real romantic date. Later, my girl saw his car outside his house in the freezing cold. She looked inside and saw that they was fucking on the backseat, S was riding P and his hands was behind his head with his eyes shut LOOOL. In the COLD!"

"Prince did most his make-up himself. Yes, he was AMAZING at it, he was like a pro. All the practicing! In fact, he used to do Diamond, Pearl, Mayte, Carmen and Anna’s makeup a lot, you could tell cause it would be the exact same as his. I know he used to use Bobbi Brown foundation in 2 different shades. I was buying that shit all the time, he ran out real quick. He used to send people to get him these real sharp, extra dark kohl sticks from the East Indian beauty shops to line his eyes, I think Susan Moonsie turned him on to those. They made his eyes pop even more! He also used to use matches, I seen him once light one, blow it out and use it to smoke up Mayte’s eyes for a gig at the Glam Slam club he owned at the time. On his lips, I knew he had this one Maxfactor lip-stain thing he used on himself and EVERYONE else, in like this real pale pink shade, close to his own lip color

Later on, I heard P likes and uses MAC products almost exclusively, especially their studio fix/sheer pressed powders. He has good taste! I think it was Tatiana who said in her biography (she missed out the sex haha no wonder her eyes was probably hurting) that P had more make-up than most women. In my experience this was 100% true, he tried and tested EVERYTHING (and not just make-up!)

I asked P’s hairdresser from 2010, Gina, about the hair products since you asked me AGAIN! LOL P be having the women salivating over his flowy tresses!. She said to me that P, as far as she knows, didn't use Hawaiian silky; but he did use Creme of Nature and Redken products instead to stop reverting cause it didn’t dry up his hair. She said he uses Moroccan Oil Sulfate free shampoo and conditioner/treatment/serum as well as Carol’s daughter black vanilla shampoo (I used that before, shits expensive!) She also mentioned ouidad heat and humidlty gel (apparently Andy Allo uses that too) Olive Oil and Oyin (typical P)

Well P takes care of his hair, I thought he’d be as bald as his daddy was by now but he still has real good hair after all these years. I ain't surprised though, I remember when Nona said she wanted to go natural he was real supportive, he used to go on and on about how relaxers fucked your shit up and how people shouldn't use ‘em as he used to press his hair. I don't know what his views are now though"

"Prince had a LOT of real young girls, but I personally think the the age gap meant he could manipulate ‘em more easy. I mean Anna was 15 when they first met in London and he did the long ass game with her, he did not even kiss her till she was like 17 and never let her see him naked till the night they first fucked on her 18th, Anna said. Straight pimp though, he had the pussy scheduled 3 years in advance cause he knew that he had other chicks keeping his dick wet till she became available. I am pretty sure he waited til they were 18 cause then he couldn’t get into legal trouble & shit, as well as him being a gentleman cause he is (at least initially) with his girls. I mean he did the same with Mayte and Ophelie too. In fact in Anna and Mayte’s case, he rang up these girls’ parents and got their PERMISSION for these virginal teens to live in his house with him (a sex obsessed rockstar) so lord knows those situations wouldn’t be misconstructed and shit for bad publicity etc like with other celebs I won’t mention"

Circa 2000 or 2001 Prince called his technician at like 3 in the morning to come in. She assumed that the console was down or some other piece of outboard was malfunctioning. When she arrived at the studio, Prince was holding the Shrek DVD. He said that he wanted to watch it. His tech was a bit perplexed & asked if there was something wrong with his DVD player. He replied & said something to the effect of “What is a DVD player & where can I get one?”. She said that they were sold at many places & that she could get him one the next day. He insisted that she went and got him one right then & he couldn't understand that they were not more expensive then they were. She went to Target & bought him one, & when she returned he no longer wanted to watch Shrek."

"Prince liked to be your savior. He liked to promise the world to you & he liked to be the guy who could deliver that to you & make you feel bigger than life. I think he continues to do that with certain artists who would never be signed to a regular label, would never be played on radio & could never sell a record. I think that he actually believes that the women were all worthy musicians in his eyes, but I do probably think that there was a sexual component to it. That’s just my psychology & I could be dead wrong, I don’t know"

- Wendy Melvoin

"Prince jumped out naked, or almost, & it was the greatest concert I’ve ever seen there, just so much energy & excitement. We went into the Mike Todd Room & it was just almost empty, tables set up, reserved & there, in a white coat & pink bell-bottoms, like a Puerto Rican at a prom, all by himself, was Prince. He danced with each & every girl - all these weird girls in sixties dresses. Literally with every girl & he wasn't even a good dancer."

- Shady ass Andy Warhol

'Now P never openly said his daddy beat him but the rumor I heard and also the clue I heard from his lil bro Omar is that his MOMMA used to beat him. Omar was a little cutie he looked just like his momma and (jus like P) had Mattie's eyes; huge and green/brown/hazel (depended on P's mood!) But I remember asking him why P never really looked his ma in the eyes and basiclly ignored her next husband Haywood (omar's daddy); he said sumthin like "she was always beatin up on him for music" It was noisy in the background (P was doin a small benefit concert for some charity I think) but I am 95% sure thas what i heard. I was shocked but I knew Haywood would lock in his room for hours when he was a little kid and his momma did absolutely nothin to stop him. But beatin him for playin music as a kid? (Maybe cuz John was a musician too and she was mad at him and didn't want P to come out like him?) that mustve been so hard!! As sensitive as he is now, he mustve been devastated as a little boy! In the Chris Rock Show interview he said his momma gave him SUPER explicit materials, like porn to teach him about sex and he said his sexuality was really affected by it. Maybe thats why he just loves the virginal looking girls who look innocent and fresh? He just wants girls to love him deep down and he wants "good girls".

The way his real daddy John was too affected him too no doubt. (womanizer even then, dated Playboy models. Real smooth talker and ladies man. Apple didn't drop far from dat tree!) He treated P slightly hesitantly, even maybe a little bitterly too. But I could tell P REALLY wanted his parentals to be proud o him, poor baby. The ONLY one who neva really doubted him and was always proud of him was Bernadette. He used to send her about $1000 dollars worth of flowers to her house every birthday and expensive gifts and she got invites and all his new music before most.

Considerin he was abandoned by the people who shoulda most have loved and accepted him most for who he is (his daddy walked out on him as a kid, his momma stepped away from him and didn't accept him, step daddy didn't get on with him and then daddy kicked him out again when he went to live with John!) I aint at ALL surprised by how he turnt out. He obviously has deep trust, self esteem and commitment issues and I just hope he comes out ok and don't regret none of his life choices. Damn." '

"Single handedly my very funniest purple memory and honey, I am just sitting here just dying as I am typing for your nosy ass, is when this one time real late late at night I had stayed at Paisley to finish up paperwork to send off to his attorney for copyright filing. The photocopier in the main office was fucking up so I went to the one in P’s office. Well honey, shit, I thought he’d took his ass home and I guess he forgot about me being there. SO, as I’m going through looking for paper to put into the machine I hear some familiar low pitch and some other feminine moaning and groaning. Turns out, he had some random chicka in the relaxation room next door, which was full of fluffy pillows, drapes and P’s gold records/posters. Of course they were doing the nasty. But wait. This was Jan of 1994 and P had just changed his name to that symbol, so it was really serious that everybody and they mama’s could NOT call him Prince. So this girl is like getting louder and I try to block the sounds out. He must’ve been going down on her (I heard he was good at that) or some shit because it sounded like girlfriend’s train was pulling in to her stop if you catch my drift. So she starts screaming out his name and catches herself, FUCK ME forever and a day if I’m lying honey, but she LITERALLY screamed “PPPPPPPRRRR—-uhuhoooohhhhhhh—AAAR RRRTTTIIISSSTTTTT!!! ” I FUCKING LOST MY MIND, MY BODY, MY SOUL, ERRYTHANG. I fell to the floor literally crying, laughing, gasping for my breath. Eventually I got outta there and finished work and went home. The next day, I could not tell if P heard me but I could NOT look at him with a straight face! He asked me about the paperwork andI said I got it done last night. He looked up at me suddenly, looking forreal embarrassed and then I lost it, I started chuckling some more. He smirked at me and then walked away laughing himself but I’m glad he thought it was funny as hell too. OHHH Iord I thought I’d busted some ribs. I was gonna send his over the top ass my hospital bills. Wooooooo chile, never a dull moment!"

"Once I heard some girl at an aftershow somewhere was like Oh, Prince, I love yo weave! So hot! and he just DEATH GLARED this girl, shook his hair at her, ran his fingers through it said sorry It ain't a weave. Too bad I can’t say the same thing about you though LOL"

"He was so religious and that made me hella suspicious though, I ain’t gonna lie, seeing as how he wasn’t exactly living like a good christian oughta. This one girl who he was banging (he was fucking her more-gorgeous sister a month later loooool motherfucker) told me and his junior assistant at the time that he ALWAYS asked her and other girls if they believed in God and were really passionate about it. I know first hand that Prince could quote big parts of the Bible too. He was SUPER religious and I distinctly remember overhearing him say that sex was how humans know that there is a God who loves us. Lord. But I also had to drive home one of his lower ranking jump-offs at like 3 in the morn and it turned out that it was because she laughed at his beliefs and he straight up dismissed her. Home girl went home high and WET wearing a black lace lingerie set!! She was so mad, cussing out his ass. Damn I’m rolling just remembering it!"

"I came to his house early like I was meant to, I had to get the tapes andstuff to drop off to the studio and take his clothes to the custom laundry service, and I heard a noise so I followed it into the room P had for parties. I saw with my own eyes that he was sitting shirtless in a chair with a really hot, naked black chick just like grinding on his lap, another chick was kissing his neck, he had his hand between another girls’ thighs and ANOTHER girl was getting ate out by another girl at his feet! Honey, my eyeballs nearly done popped outta my damn skull and I just backed the fuck away!"

"Half the stories/gossip I have heard involves his sex life which was, if she is to be believed, incredibly varied to say the least. Once I was told that he allegedly would have all the latest sex toys sent to Paisley by companies etc and “trial” them with willing volunteers. He apparently also ran through condoms, like 50 a week! He was really into safe sex when she knew him, probably because he was wary of girls trapping him with babies, and this girl said she would constantly be buying condoms in 100s and the people where she bought them thought she was some sort of streetwalker/nympho!

She also said that Prince kept women's clothing at paisley in the latest fashions and all designer. If anyone of his current or new paramours was in anything less than top looking condition, he would bathe them and style them (hair, makeup, outfit, the works) until they looked like they were going to be attending an Oscar party! He was a real pro and girls walked in like shit and ended up looking amazing. LOL free makeover by Prince!

She also said that she did not hear of at least one woman who was not satisfied with his performance (in bed, and stage too probably lol!) When P was seeing this one girl I think her name was Anna (was really young, like a teen and she sold her story to the paper later apparently) they would talk about how he was in bed. This was when she just started working at Paisley. Anna told her that he liked to go for hours, like all day if her could! He absolutely loved foreplay, could be unpredictable in being gentle/slow or rough/fast, loved oral sex A LOT both giving and receiving and just loved being held. My friend said that a LOT of chicks got dickmatized! They got it into their heads that he loved them and couldn't deal when he moved on like a few months or even weeks later. So sounds like to me from what she said, that he needed a lot of sex, was really good at it and wasn't afraid of getting it as much as he wanted!"

"Prince knows a lot and he is a real smart brotha for real, people don’t give him credit for that and for all his bad behaviours, he ain’t into no self-destructive vices like most rock-stars would be which is way he still looks fresh. That and the never-ending fresh pussy. Believe it girl! I still think he did some praying to achieve a dick that size though cause either God blessed him or he did some dealing with the devil. I seen polaroids that he took of him and Troy Beyer fucking in ‘92 and damn did she look happy, and I know why!"

"Prince is one of the THE straightest men I have ever been around. People don’t know how he reacts to men because they ain’t been around him. It’s easy to speculate, but seriously, spend time with him and you would see for yourself. The way he looks at women and touches ‘em and talks to them. He ALWAYS prefer female company and when I used to suspect/hear about him being gay/bi/omni/whatever, I would watch him carefully. He actively avoids men. Doesn’t like being near them, talks more rudely and guardedly to them, and doesn’t trust them. His eyes are his biggest giveaway. When he ain’t comfortable you can just tell. He gets this tiny crease in the middle of his eyebrows and his lower lip and his face dips. He always did this around men. I’ll tell you straight up. You know why he wears makeup, heels, girly clothes? He wants to make women comfortable, to be like them, to understand them. He was so confident that he could make guys girlfriends’ panties soaked just by looking at them across the room"

"Oh lawd, he said the funniest jokes and did all the best funny voices ever. One time he called my house phone and left me a voicemail where he sang to Hot Thing but with lyrics making fun of me like “Hot thang, barely 21, HOT THANG, your ass ain’t no fun! Hot thang, what’s your fantasy? Hot thang, I know you wanna work for P” LOOOL. I actually broke up with my man at the time for recording over that message. It was my most prized possession, the fucker!"

"Prince barely ate normally but had the BIGGEST sweet tooth ever girl, believe it! Once my naive behind brought in a big package of chocolate chip cookies which he used to LOVE himself. I offered the bag to give him some and his eyes lit up like those damn slow loris creatures. Later when I went to eat my own portion, I saw that the little shit had taken a big bite outta each and every cookie so that they were all crescent shaped, and drew me a little doodle of him eating a guitar shaped cookie on my desk! P could really draw, he was good at art. I still ate ‘em though, shit, Prince flavoured cookies!"

Before filming that ‘Computer Blue’ segment, Prince ran andlifted weights in the 20 below freezing weather to make himself sweat. One of the extras came up to him after/in-between sets and just literally fucking licked his back!! Big Chick (R.I.P.) tossed her crazy ass out into the snow lol”

"Prince made out with Apples straight after she purified herself in the lake cause she was getting hypothermic, she landed through the ice! He was also whispering some sweet and sexy nothings in her ear. I can imagine how in that low, sexy ass speaking voice of his. Oh my damn heart, I am jealous!"

"Apparently P was never that into Apollonia, but when they was filming the sex scene that never made it into the movie (they was fucking missionary in the rain and it’s dawn, makes that shit purple where the title came from) they WAS actually completely naked and for REAL fucking on camera and lotta people on-set got real horny and shit. WHY was that shit cut out? I am so mad right now!!"

"Sheila E. was my girl and to this day, if anybody asks me who was P meant to spend the rest of his life with, it is SHEILA. He messed her around so much though and I ain’t too surprised she didn’t stick around too long. I met her and we talked once, when P wrapped up the filming of Graffiti Bridge and she came to the party he held at Paisley to celebrate. (I was in charge of the damn catering, it was all wrong too. Honey, I never been so stressed in my life, thought I’d been fired on the spot) Lawd, I remember that P came to her ride when she was leaving and he was wearing some thin black cashmere pants with some flowery embroidery on ‘em and her hand just shot out, grabbed his dick and damn near fondled him! He said something, they laughed and left together. He came back in the afternoon next day looking mighty happy with himself so I assumed they did the do"

"Now Sandra told me (another Paisley Park employee) that she didn't wanna say out loud with the girls.. Firstly, she just came on out that she is like 98% sure that Prince fucked Sade.

SADE my GODDESS! I was like NOOOOO WAYYY, spat my damn drink out!! I ain't never heard nothing about this!! Sandy said that in ‘88 P attended one of her concerts in Europe and watched her behind the scenes. Later, he called her management and asked to come see her in her hotel, I think this was in France, they were both there at the same time. P took with him one of his own guitars, a vintage Les Paul to give her lucky ass cause Sade played and he was real impressed. He stayed the night there!! BUT later on that year when their tours were over in like late and(before I was there in 89! Damn!) Sade came to newly built Paisley and stayed for several days! My girl Sandy says that she saw with her own eyes, P sitting at the piano and Sade was sitting in his lap, and that they was kissing and holding hands!! Lastly, she said that she had a tape that she had to be put into The Vault which had the words; Sade Demo I Know It Hurts in P's own handwriting!! DAMN DAMN DAMN if there is a unreleased nookie-fueled P and Sade duet, cause that needs to be released and played in every damn fertility clinic all over the world!! I know P gave props to Sade, he loved her music but my lawdd this is just the best thing ever!"

What Just happened?

Did that answer your question, OP?

God Bless You Girl @R100 ad infinitum.

That's some great gossip r100

All that being said, yes, Prince was indeed a male homosexual.

God, R93, take your meds and jet a job. Your "sick cunt" outbursts are embarrassing even for the DL.

Jet (sic) an education, R114. Your mangling of the english language is embarrassing even for the DL.

*you’re

R93/R115 still without meds. No comprehension of the English language either.

Thanks R100

IF Prince was straight, he was a HUGE cocktease with the simulated bottoming in his performances (Gett Off VMA and Daddy Pop Arsenio performances standout in my mind) and bisexual lyrics (Controversy, Diamonds and Pearls, Push and Insatiable (how does a man have sex with a woman with HIS hips up in the air?).

R119, it's called selling records. It's called 'bi' trendiness.

It's copying Bowie, Bolan, Fee Waybill, and Elton John.

And it's not real.

But Bowie was bi (he was caught in bed with Mick Jagger) and we all know Elton's gay.

He seemed bi, experimental in every way. A friend of mine is a complete pussy hound but he's done guys too. He's just a horny top looking for an orb to probe but women are his partners of choice predominantly.

“simulated bottoming in his performances "

Is this projection or real? Please link, r119. Whichever is the case It most certainly does not concord with the fact that he refused to do MJ “Bad” collab on the grounds of objecting to the line “your ass is mine” and its implication.

He gave me a bi vibe. Very sexy and great charisma with female co stars

I had such a crush on Appolnia ! She and Prince had sexual tension. Was she totally straight

Femme les, I'm sure Prince had her perform with other women. That was his thing. He had a lesbian fetish. She was very sexy cute.

Axl Rose has a lesbian fetish too.

R126, I would pay big money for that footage

David Blaine (street musician) also has a lesbian fetish.

It seems to be a pattern for hawt guys.

Me three, femme.

Vanity didn't want to but Prince made her sleep with a chick for his entertainment, she later said she regretted it.

Appolonia aged well. Still sexy

Here's his Daddy Pop performance on AH (at 2.23)

Here's his Gett Off performance on VMA (at 23 seconds)

.

R123: Maybe, Prince just hated the idea of bottoming for MJ...

Yep, Appolonia still has it, good on her.

R136 she gives off good vibes. A kind person

Yep, R137, and I hope she's well. I understand that she has not been heard from since Prince died. Sensitive lady.

'Y’all '

R61, please pull the straw out from behind your ears. This is not a dive bar full of truckers and line-dancers in Pigpoke, Arkansas.

R139

loves to reduce people to bad stereotypes, which include all gender-neutral men as gay and all southerners as idiots.

Wow, that was some serious tea!!!

I swear, Prince must have been an Egyptian Pharaoh in another life.

But isn't what R139 said true, R140?

Self loathing gay who gave it his best to pat the pus.

He was bi. I'm really getting upset about the diversion stories regarding his "drug addiction" so AIDS doesn't enter in! I believe he took too much drugs for pain but I also believe he had AIDS & definitely was into both teams. Maybe he gave it up when his kid died & he had his religious conversion, but straight men don't dance like that.

I just feel so bad he died alone, and faced his final months so alone.

I'm dying for news on this. Will the cover up continue?

I'm going crazy!

When is the autopsy coming out???????

My thanks to R100 as well. That was some of the best gossip I've read on DL in a long time. Regarding Prince's health before he died, I wonder if an accurate toxicology report will be released. I'm pretty sure that everything is not as it appears. I don't believe he had AIDS either, even if the stories of his promiscuity are true.

I can't imagine Prince Charles was a gay.

I remember seeing him interviewed by Oprah in the mid to late 90s. At the time, he was still using the squiggly symbol as his name. Oprah asked him about his ability to reflect qualities of both genders, and his reply was (paraphrased): "Everyday I dress to reflect how I feel. Some days I feel like a man. Some days I feel like a woman." I was kind of surprised the press didn't take that and run with it at the time.

Bi.

I've been told that he's bisexual by his fans over the years for around 20 years. Like Usher.

R20 I don’t know. Better question, is it warm enough?

Well, whatever you say, R71 honey.

R81 Fee Waybill should have been bigger solo. He had a great voice on him, perfect for late 80s bangers. Instead he got stuck doing soundtracks for teen movies, sad.

Didn't Boy George say they used to fuck?

I think he was fascinated by women and especially divas, like DLers. Whether than makes him gay is another argument.

I still adore Prince doing ‘female’ characters on his tracks. Camille was such a cool alter-ego, and his antagonistic bitchy rivals to Vanity on her solo record still kill me.

His acidic lines on ‘If A Girl Answers’ are pure DL, as are Vanity & Brenda’s....

“So sorry baby, I never go to singles bars...” “SINGLES?! Is THAT what you think?! TRAMP I’m datin’ yo’ Dad.”

Vegan

Prince saw himself as Denise -

I know a woman he would use to fuck when he was in Denmark. She said of him he was one of the best she's ever had. He was apparently also very talented in the sheets.

Lesbians claiming that Andy Allo is queer is just weird considering she used to be fucked by Prince.

For several years back in the 80s, I was convinced that Prince was out as a bisexual.

I don't know why I thought this, I wasn't a fan, I didn't read his interviews or anything.

Yeah. I forgot his religion would not let him be gay.

R162: Prince was out as bi in the late 70s/early 80s. Then, he became a *straight* Jehovah’s Witness 😒

What do the kids call it? Pansexual, multisexual, whatevasexual?

Bisexual is still bisexual: attracted to men and women.

Pansexual is attracted to men, women AND trans.

Not the same thing. Now, “fluid” is just confusing...that could mean anything lol.

[quote] [R162]: Prince was out as bi in the late 70s/early 80s. Then, he became a *straight* Jehovah’s Witness 😒

This never happen. Even a few yrs after his death, no men are coming forward claiming to slept with him. And anyone can say anything at this point without the threat of legal action.

R167: Prince did admit to being bi at the start of his career! many people remember that. And he said he was straight after becoming a Jehovah’s Witness. Just because none of his lovers came forward, doesn’t erase what he said (and sang lol).

Sorry Prince wasn't gay.

nope - not gay. Bi

[quote] [R167]: Prince did admit to being bi at the start of his career! many people remember that. And he said he was straight after becoming a Jehovah’s Witness. Just because none of his lovers came forward, doesn’t erase what he said (and sang lol).

If that were true this debate would have ended a long time ago.

Prince was very likely pansexual and/or nonbinary before people had heard of those things. If he was 30-40 years younger and alive today that's how he, or they, would probably identify.

[quote] Prince was very likely pansexual and/or nonbinary before people had heard of those things. If he was 30-40 years younger and alive today that's how he, or they, would probably identify. —Prove me wrong.

It’s your job to prove your argument and you have failed.

Purple is also the color of the Minnesota Vikings.

I always felt like Prince was a lipstick lesbian trapped in a (homuncular) man's body. If he were a millennial, he would've probably identified as non-binary or genderqueer.

"Even a few yrs after his death, no men are coming forward claiming to slept with him. "

Well if he was openly bi in the late seventies and early eighties... who's left alive to tell? That was a Lost Generation of hotties.

In other news, Chrissy Metz is actually NOT fat!
