At his worst times, he was a "hate the sin, love the sinner" type. When he became more religious, he believed marriage should be between a man and a woman. All that aside, he still had no trouble working with LGBT people. He was even in a band with two chicks that ended up together, I think.

Idk, I'm not a Prince expert  most of my knowledge orbits around his relationship and co-stardom with MJ. He did tell MJ that he wouldn't duet Bad with him 'cause "I'm not saying 'your butt is mine' to you and you're DEFINITELY not saying it to me"

Plus Janelle Monáe was a protege of his...like clearly he didn’t have mad beef with the LGBTQ if that was the case and Janelle would not have put up with it either. Idk his views in totality, but I think it’s fairly safe to say that he wasn’t a homophobe in the strictest sense of the word

When asked about his perspective on social issues—gay marriage, abortion—Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”

But that was also 8 years before his death.

 

my point is more that he changed his opinion on things a few times during his life and generally didn’t make a big to-do of it when he did change. Like I said, there has to be something a little more complicated at play here given that Janelle Monáe and other queer people hold him in such high esteem and did well before his death.

I have a hard time believing they just didn’t know about his feelings on queer issues. It seems more likely that the issue was more complicated even if just a little.

such a stale take that a man can’t dress a certain way without everyone calling him gay.

i wasn’t commenting on any of that. yes he can fvck right off for those homophobic comments, they’re deplorable. but i don’t think clothes in general should have a label, “queer” “feminine” “masculine” whatever, they’re just clothes and i think it’s an archaic way to label someone.

I feel like if anyone knew anything about Prince, it was that he was an effeminate womanizer, but I guess not lol

Makeup is the latest collector's item, which is goofy because it's a product that is meant to be used but just like vinyls these limited edition makeup releases will inevitably end up sitting on a shelf unused, until the product expires

Waiting for the MJ palette, the Bowie palette, and the Cobain palette to all get released later this year by their grand-nieces and nephews tryna get that famous dead uncle money

awful.

“In 2008, the New Yorker writer Claire Hoffman asked Prince what he thought of social issues like gay marriage and abortion. Reported Hoffman of his response: “Prince tapped his Bible and said, ‘God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’”
