Marvin Gayes father was gay as hell

[FaTaL]

yea his dad was defiantly gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

 

[Still Benefited]

He was wild. He was a cuckold, drug addict, had sex with young teenaged girls, enjoyed wearing women's clothes in private, had sex with men (Marlon Brando), and abused women. Before any of you try to neg me, Quincy Jones and Marvin's wife Janis were the ones who spoke up about Marvin having sex with men. This is from the book Divided Soul:

"As Marvin Jr. told Ritz, "My father likes to wear women's clothing... To tell you the truth, I have the same fascination with women's clothes. In my case, that has nothing to do with any attraction for men. Sexually, men don't interest me. But seeing myself as a woman is something that intrigues me. It's also something I fear. I indulge myself only at the most discreet and intimate moments. Afterward I must bear the guilt and shame for weeks.""
MARVIN GAYE::The Agony and The Ecstasy

This is from Quincy Jones' interview with Vulture:

[Marlon] BrandoThe actor and Jones were longtime friends. During a down period in Jones’s life, he spent time on the island in Tahiti which Brando owned. The two called each other Leroy, owing to a story recounted extremely well (one among many) in this recent GQ profile. used to go cha-cha dancing with us. He could dance his ass off. He was the most charming motherfukker you ever met. He’d fukk anything. Anything! He’d fukk a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye.

He slept with them? How do you know that?
[Frowns.] Come on, man. He did not give a fukk! You like Brazilian music?

Im not believing that quincy jones story since it is hearsay. I recall Quincy saying alot of weird shyt to sell his book at the time. No regard for others legacy,so fukk his as far as Im concerned.


Far as the womens clothes,he never said he put them on,just that he had a fascination. Some might say I have a fascination myself. But you wouldnt understand if you arent a pisces


But somehow yall reeeeaaall understanding about Prince walking around in chaps with the ass out.

"Oh,well that was considered player back in the day"

You mean this Quincy Jones

Yeah I’ll pass on his thoughts about who smashed who

 

[Piff Perkins]

Naw that’s Steve Lacy and Frank Ocean mediocre ass
Don’t disrespect the GOAT like that

Why are you so offended by this? Multiple people in his life said it or alluded to it, and the sexual abuse he suffered as a boy is a factor too. I just find the reaction weird. Would you enjoy his music less if you accepted that he was bisexual? Weird.

He lived a tortured life. Depressing to think about.

 

[Jean toomer]

This thread is heartbreaking af

New meaning to Sexual Healing

Sexual Healing was written because one of Marvin’s homeboys/agent walked into his apartment and saw porn magazines, dildos and all kind of demonic pornography wall to wall. Homebody told Marvin “man you need some sexual healing”….Marvin was like

 

[Ol’Otis]

Would you enjoy his music less if you accepted that he was bisexual?

Absolutely

 

[murksiderock]

There haven't been just one or two people to say Marvin went both ways. He was into shyt with men, you dudes offended by it are tripping. It is what it is, most of our great male artists were gay or bi...

He's still Marvin Gaye one of the GOAT musicians!

 

[zayk35]

Reading about Marvin over the yrs actually allowed me to separate the artist from the music they made. Dude had hella demons but made beautiful music. Same with R. Kelly, he made some modern classics but also has mad demons. I can still enjoy the music by itself, and even with the knowledge of their personal lives, we got to know them as musicians first. Because we'd have to get rid of a lot of music if we just judged a big time number of artists by their actual personal lives.

Shoulda smacked his granny wig off

 

[Biscayne]

Yeah that shyt was wild!

"Gaye developed a habit of steering Hunter toward other men, whether out of some perverse masochism or genuine delight.

Noting a chemistry between Hunter and Maze singer Frankie Beverly, Gaye did everything he could to set up an illicit liaison between the two. When Beverly came for a visit, Gaye not only booked him a room at a local motel but booked the adjoining room for Hunter, saying he needed her out of the house so he could focus on music.

As Hunter and Beverly smoked a joint in Hunter’s hotel room, well aware of the awkwardness, there was a loud bang at the door. It was Gaye, seemingly hoping to catch them in the act. Beverly crawled back to his room on his hands and knees, and Gaye found Hunter alone."

Marvin Gaye’s wife reveals how he tortured her

Why was Frankie Beverly crawling?

That 1970s pressure must’ve been potent.

Edit-He was sneaking out.

Marvin put him your with him

 

[skylove4]

he's a POS for killin his kid...but ain't nothin gay about dude that was the gear they rocked at the time and he conked his hair....

That fella knows well the taste of penis

 

[50CentStan]

Marvin gaye had a fukked up life and end. Sad shyt

 

[RhodyRum]

As I said last week in The Coliseum, ain't nothing worse than trying to have a conversation about a public figure with an adult STAN of said figure.

Kids put their fingers in their ear and go "nyah nyah nyah" when they hear something that they don't want to believe and that's ok. They're kids. They see the world in black and white and naivete leads to hero worship.

Adults, on the other hand, doing the "nyah nyah nyah" routine? Gimme a break and grow the fukk up. What are you holding on to? Some naive notion that your childhood heroes are / were infallible? The black and white world of your childhood should have been replaced by the shades-of-grey reality all adults must navigate by now.

Your heroes were drug abusers.

Your heroes were sexual deviants, sex offenders, and rapists.

Your heroes were awful, abusive, parents to their children.

Your heroes were bigoted in some way.

Your heroes were gay or led alternative lifestyles.

How do I know all of this?

Because your heroes, despite the pedestals you place them on, are just as much an ain't shyt human being as the rest of us.

So keep running around this thread trying to deflect from all of the evidence being put forth by trying to racially guilt trip those presenting the evidence. It won't change the facts of the life from a man you didn't know in any way personally.

@Still Benefited we may be divided on Marvin Gaye but I totally hear you on Prince and the dudes here who continually deny the homo vibes Prince consitently and strongly gave off.

His ex wife wrote a book. She was like 16 when they got together and he had her turned out and strung out before the age of 21. She said some stuff is so dark so she can never talk about it.
