I never give them a yes or no, but i do not think he did the things he did to get the attention of men These are the references i have discovered about prince and his sexuality. Prince spent his career celebrating gender fluidity and defying categories of straight and gay. The artist has never publicly confirmed his sexuality However, it's not surprising that many fans consider him a queer icon thanks to his brand and persona It's important to note though that prince has only been linked to women throughout his life, so it's safe to assume that he was straight.
The operating assumption in the late 1970s and early 1980s was that prince was gay In a 1983 interview with musician magazine, prince was asked about it: 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. Did he blow out his hair, love heels and platforms, and own every look, from flouncy romantic consumptive to bathhouse matador to easter.
Regardless of whether people liked prince, and whether he was gay, straight, cis or trans, what matters is the profound and inspiring effect he had on conceptions of gender Prince was foundational in deconstructing perceptions of masculinity and blurred the lines between binary hard definitions of gender His very existence embodied bisexuality.
