The Proposition 8 ruling has remained a hot topic since the November 4 election (for those who aren’t familiar, it overturned gay marriage in California), and while doing a profile of Prince’s house, a New Yorker reporter opted to ask Prince how he felt about the ruling (and abortion rights). In response, Prince tapped his bible and had this to say:
"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.'"
Well, that seems like a pretty straightforward quote delivered with the appropriate nastiness, but now Prince is claiming he was misquoted, the reporter never used a recorder, and made the quote up.
So all this means one of two things: either Prince is against gay marriage, and doesn’t want his fans to know about that, or he is for gay marriage, and regrets his quote. We probably won’t ever know. [Perez Hilton]

Since so many Prince fans are now aware of the "sticking it" quote, Prince has a choice:
a). allow the quote to stand (in the public mind, anyway) as his opinion, or
b). make an official statement affirming, clarifying, or repudiating it.
(I'd like to hope that Prince's adoption of the JW religion hasn't poisoned his mind, but I've been overly optimistic before...)
