Prince meleg volt?

In a 1997 interview on VH1, comedian Chris Rock posed a question to Prince no one had really asked before. At least not as bluntly. “The androgynous thing,” he said. “Was that an act, or were you searching for your sexual identity?” “That’s a good question,” Prince responds, a coy smile creeping over his face. He pauses for a moment to gather his thoughts, his eyes hidden behind dark-shaded sunglasses. “I don’t suppose I was searching, really,” he says. “I think I was just -- being who I was. Being the true Gemini that I am. And there’s, um, there’s many sides in that as well.” He pauses again briefly, smiling, before acknowledging. “And there was a little acting going on, too.”

While brief, it was perhaps the best -- and most honest -- explanation he’d given on the topic. His androgynous persona was real (he was “being who [he] was”); but it was also a performance, a calculated branding decision.
