We were having a larger conversation about his belief system and his politics. He told me he didn’t have a horse in the November election and that he didn’t believe in getting involved with these kind of earthly contests. I had asked him if the fact that Obama was black didn’t compel him to get involved.
He said, “Why?”
And I said, Well, because you’re black.
And he said “Am I?” and held up his wrist next to my ruddy one. Indeed his skin was lighter, and he cracked up. |

He doesn't label himself sexually, why would anyone be surprised that he doesn't subscribe to the race labeling game either?? |

According to MaryLee, he is straight and has a wife and kids. He is just very private. |

Really??? The last I heard of a wife 'n kids was a few years ago, when his ex-wife Mayte got pregnant and supposedly had a miscarriage. He had just released a cover of "Betcha By Golly Wow" (on Emancipation, I think).
If that was all a scam, good for him for keeping the media out of his personal life. |

| MaryLee just googled Prince and says that her knowledge of the composer was about 20 years out of date. Apparently he has been married more than once. |

Ok the official Prince fan has arrived.
Yes, Prince is straight, He was married to his ex dancer Mayte, she was pretty young.
http://princetext.tripod.com/n_1997.html
It lists the child's cause of death Oct. 23 to be complications of Pfieffer's syndrome Type 2, a rare skull deformity.
He married one of his Paisley Park studio works Manuela Testolini (who is now seriously dating Halle Berry's ex Eric Benet) a few years ago, she was also young.
