It's been knownfor more than five years that Prince is a Jehovah's Witness who goes door-to-door trying to win converts to the austere faith, as mentioned in this week's New Yorker. Less appreciated: the musician's growing distance from the liberal artistic values that pervade show business, despite his move to Los Angeles seven years ago. As Claire Hoffman writes, Prince has a budding relationship with Christian conservative media mogul Philip Anschutz, of Denver, and seems to be opposed to gay marriage and adoption. These can' be popular views among Prince's fellow California-based rockers:

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.' "

If Prince wants to get attention for his views, airing them amid nationwide demonstrations against the passage of a California anti-gay-marriage initiative will probably do the trick. What that does for the "celibate" musician's sales and popularity is another matter.

And here's the whole interview. Now he's saying he was misquoted.

Yeah apparently he's saying that it was a misquote.

Unfortunately quoting Pink Pig again (sorry )

Contrary to what a recent interview with the New Yorker is reporting, a source close to the rocker tells us that Prince was grossly misquoted and misinterpreted as not down with gay rights.

Apparently, the interviewer did not even use a recorder when she spoke with His Holy Purpleness, and that when she called his people to fact check, it turned out she had several factual inaccuracies, including a little bit about Prince recovering from hip surgery, which he never even had. Like Prince is really made of bones or something and not nebulous gold glitter - come on!

What His Purpleness actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment.

That sounds better, considering he's a man who caused his own Controversy!

"We're very angry he was misquoted," says our Prince insider.

What a hypocrite. Say what you will about Madonna's Kabbalah mania, but at least it didn't turn her into a moralistic prude in comparison with her earlier persona.

i read this on a different blog, and someone made an excellent comment:

if he is all prudey and religious now, does that mean he won't accept royalties from his back catalogue, which is 90% audioporn?

i mean i love prince, but don't play morals to the american public, because NO ONE is jesus, and no one is without sin

^ how is he playing morals to the public? Since when is stating an opinion "forcing your views on others"? people are becoming overly sensitive and ridiculous...

Well I don't think he's gay, but heis the last one who should talking about gay thing. I hope he really was misquoted. But then he sued his own fans once, so anything is possible.

Considering how nebulous Prince has always seemed to be, I find it pretty impossible to believe he has limited his sexual exploits to just woman 100%. If he has been misquoted then fair enough since I'm pretty confident both genders have paid visits to his bedroom in some form or another.

Exactly.
