He was definitely a ladies man in public and was married to a woman, sooo I'm going with no-homo. And he was one of those Hovie witness people and they are like anti-gay.
It was speculation that he was dying/died from aids. This is what speculation gets.

He was a died in the wool Jehova's Witness, and now we know for sure that he was addicted to and died from pain killers. He had put himself into a rehab program just days before his death. So sad.

We don't know for sure he died from painkillers. That is speculation.

If he did have AIDS, what's wrong with taking painkillers anyway? AIDS is a death sentence no different from cancer. If he wanted to use opiates to make dying easier I don't have a problem with that and neither should anyone else.

HIV infection isn't a death sentence now days. It's a serious disease, and the drugs used to treat it are not benign... but most people with good T-cell counts now days have a decent life expectancy.


I doubt Prince had AIDS. Not every gay man has AIDS (most don't, especially those around Prince's age) so the idea he was taking opiates to treat AIDS is sort of weird even if he happened to be gay. Especially because people with AIDS are more likely to be interested in pot than opiates.

He was extremely popular in the 80s and 90s, it would not surprise me if he had AIDS, many of us had no idea how aids were passed on back in the 80s, as it was thought only heroin addicts and gay people got aids. Magic Johnson retiring with AIDs and his active participation in fundraising and pushing research and getting that information out to the public is what really changed things back in the early 90s. However whether he had AIDS or not does not mean he was gay. I personally do not care if he was gay or if he had AIDs, he was a very talented man that put out great music, I wish he would not have died and do not care about the rumors.

All this speculation about addiction, being gay and having AIDS...I say, let the man rest in peace. It's already bad enough that the media is throwing dirt on his character.

He was also found with Percocet in his system, isn't that a taboo for the JW's too?? Either way, I couldn't give rip less if he was gay or more likely he might have been Bi, but again, the man is dead why are discussing this sorta thing???

What Prince did in his private life is of no interest to me. Nor should it be of any interest to you.

It wouldn't surprise me if Prince were not heterosexual. Ditto for Michael Jackson, another Jehovah's Wittness. Though I believe he may have had some kind of paraphilia... the issues are the same. JW's are pretty rigid, intolerant, and anti-science/anti-reason.
There is absolutely zero evidence or even testimony from anyone who might have a clue that Prince was either gay or had AIDS.

There is nothing from any medical personnel, no statement from any friend or relative, no questionable picture from any paparazzi, nothing from his enemies, not even any previous gossip from the gossip rags.

Someone just comes up with something right out of thin air, zero foundation whatsoever, and people believe it.

I will admit you may know more about that and who is gay and who is not, but I really doubt a guy like Prince would be in the closet. Really, really doubt it.
