Pop superstar Prince is livid with New Yorker magazine editors after he was misrepresented n a published article as an opponent of gay marriage.

The Purple Rain hitmaker is reportedly "very angry" about comments attributed to him in a recent interview.

According to the article: "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'."

But a Prince source tells Internet blogger Perez Hilton: "What His Purpleness actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment.

"We're very angry he was misquoted." - Wenn
