still my favorite ... never thought he was gay and no actual proof
alot of the songs yall mentioned ... he wrote for women to sing but kept them for himself
he did say alot of weird shyt in some songs... in Anna Stesia he says he would take anyone even boy or girl
but you'd have to look into the context of the actual song itself, where he's talking from a god perspective
the heels never seemed gay to me... people forget Prince is from way older time. nikkas were wearing platforms and heels
mistake me not but didnt pimps wear heels?
it makes even more sense when you are 5'1
I'm not discrediting how people feel but its clearly an image and songwriting thing... if he was gay at any point stories would have come out and people would have seen him bringing men into paisley park. All the other shyt came out for Richard Pryor, David Bowie, Mick Jagger etc
