"So here’s how it is: you’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this.” He pointed to a Bible. “But there’s the problem of interpretation, and you’ve got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn’t. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got blue, you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, ‘You can do whatever you want.’ Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right.”
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.’ ”
The rest of the article is really fascinating.

Representatives from his camp issued an apology? What the hell is that?
Next time I do or say something I regret, I'll just have my rep apologize for me.
Actually after further research I think I might have been wrong - it seems representatives from his camp are now claiming he was misquoted. They reached out to Perez Hilton, because I guess these days Perez Hilton represents the entire Gay community.
The New Yorker article was great. I especially liked how it ended. It's definitely worth reading if you haven't already.
Here's the link to the Perez Hilton writeup on the 'misquote':
