Maybe it's because when a figure like Prince contributed a great deal to music and pop culture, sometimes the social issues don't matter that much? I mean, we can all be adults here and don't agree with his political views but it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve respect for his musical genius. That's something that he earned on pure talent and hard work. There's very few artists alive that can even claim that much.
I don't understand why some of you insist on disparaging his character because he didn't agree on gay marriage. That's not a big deal in general since gay marriage is actually legally on the books now; it shouldn't affect the objective view that he was a genuinely a great performer and a gifted musician.
