i go to a school of retards who always complain to me that i shouldn't listen freddie mercury cause of his sexuality and cause of death from aids. Literally the younger generation have gotten more narcissistic about music. Now they care about what singers appearance is and making sure the sexuality is straight. I'm not saying every young person of the age of 10-18 are like this but you got to respect the man and his music. If freddie mercury didn't exist; multitracking wouldn't be as popular as it is today and now energetic live performances from other great musicians. |

HIV/AIDS was highly stigmatised then and still is. I don't think it's limited or specialised to the young generation at all. |
| AlbaNo1 21.01.2015 17:48 |
For those of later generations who did not grow up with Queen as an active band, I imagine the manner of Freddie's death might be the defining fact associated with the band. |

Sadly. Almost every boy not fond of rock music, remember Freddie as the gay singer with moustache, who died of AIDS two thousand years ago. A lot of them, when Queen is played in the radio, say: Change the radio! It's Freddie Mercury! |
| Doga 21.01.2015 21:47 |
Wow, indeed. it depends on the place, i guess. in conservative or traditional places, Queen is not apprecciated. To my friends, FM is that awesome guy who played at Wembley and wrote WATC, so they listen to him every time we won a soccer tournament. But then, almost all my friends think one of the most important things in life is fuck all the people you want, no matter who they are, So they are fond of Freddie, even if some of them even don't usually like rock music. |
| luthorn 21.01.2015 22:46 |
I think all those anti-gay, if you listen to Queen you will catch AIDS, people are closeted and deep down wish they could get some proper fuck just like Freddie did. |

Why are there so many threads on this site about Freddie's sexuality? Freddie was a musician and a songwriter. that's all we need to know about any performer or member of a band that we love. Who gives a toss about their sexuality and their private life? I played Bohemian Rhapsody to my Daughter when she was 7. She thought it was awesome and wanted to read the lyrics. She is 19 now and last year asked me what Freddie died of, she hadn't a clue what caused his death. She was then shocked when she found out he was gay. But had no problem with that. Which is how we are in the UK, sexuality, race, colour, we don't have issues. However I feel it's an issue with many people from over the pond, as that was made evident when Freddie grew his moustache and the IWTBF video. Which everybody, especially in Britain thought that video was hilarious. Freddie Mercury - Lover of life, singer of songs... I think that is all we should care about and is a great phrase. And don't forget how much the Mercury Phoenix trust has made people aware and helped so many victims of this dreadful disease. |
| miraclesteinway 22.01.2015 05:26 |
No, in fact some of them are not aware he died: I was recently in a situation where I told a 28 year old guy I was going to see Queen with Adam Lambert. His response? "Why is Freddie Mercury not singing for them anymore?" True story. |

| miraclesteinway 22.01.2015 07:09 |
I think to those who grew up after Freddie died, particularly those who got into music in the last five years, they might be aware of Queen as a band, and might be aware that Freddie was the lead singer, but not be completely aware of their history. Silly really, but there you go. |

I introduced my 8 Year Old Son to QUEEN who he absolutely loves. He can't get enough of Innuendo (the song) & wants it constantly on repeat. I have told him about Freddie & why he isn't hear any more, for which he doesn't seem bothered at all, loves the music . He says he thinks he looks the best with a Mowee (moustache)! |

You will find the Americans can not handle gay human beings, they are so narrow minded and have a massive problem where a gay man is concened, My advice to you is take no notice of narrow minded idiots, because it takes a compassionate human being to understand and love a person regardless of sexuality etc...... Freddie passed away a year before life saving treatment was introduced to save HIV patients, so the likes of Holly Johnson, Andy Bell, etc..... were saved, Freddie was just unlucky. Love Freddie with all your heart because he was massively talented and no one will ever match the dynamics of king Mercury. |

If you all read the authors story for this discussion you will plainly see that homophobia is on the rise in schools,across America and comes from the parents. I can just see a childs american father saying to his child as he watches Freddie on tv "your not watching that faggot so turn it off" Americans are very homophobic as many of them are extremely religious& massive church goers and you get many saying "we celebrate adam & eve but not adam & steve" Homophobia has increased here in the uk across schools and socially. You guys are out of touch. |
| ParisNair 22.01.2015 13:07 |
A section of people have always been interested in Freddie's sexually and the fact that he died of AIDS. That section may be bigger in the current generation, considering what they are exposed to from a young age, but I believe people like that have existed always, in every generation. I think I have said this here before, but I myself held a lot of negative notions towards gay people. But that was only till music (Freddie, and many others) won me over, and my perspective changed. I think a lot of people don't give themselves that chance. |

It's not true that most Americans are homophobic, and it's not true that all Brits are cool with sexuality, race, gender. There are wonderful people and total dickheads in every country. I know quite a few Americans who don't give a damn about sexuality, race, gender, who are open minded, tolerant, intelligent, you know, decent normal human beings (whatever normal is). Equally I know a couple of total wankers from America too. I know quite a few Brits who are arrogant, narrow-minded, right wing, homophobic, racist, loud-mouthed and downright awful to be around. Equally I know some wonderful Brits. One tends to find that most people are fairly middle of the road and tolerant, and that the minority of trouble makers have the loudest voices - be it in the media or any social situation. It's nothing to do with nationality. Oh, yes, there is the Christian Right in America, but don't be fooled into thinking there is no open-minded tolerant liberalism. Yes, Britain is seen as a bastion of common sense and liberalism (from within her own borders.....) but lets not think there isn't the right wing here. I say 'Christian Right' in America because that's what it's known as. It's really nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with the fact that a small loud mouthed number of people love to hide behind the Bible for their extremist views, rather than just admitting that actually they're total arseholes. Happens in every country with every ideology and religion. |

your question: "do you think the younger generation only cares about freddie's aids status?" My answer: It's impossible to answer. Maybe some of them do, maybe some of them don't. Is it important what the other kids in your school think about Freddie Mercury? If they like Freddie. Good. If they don't because he had HIV/AIDS. Good too. Who cares? I grew up in a time when it wasn't really cool to listen to Queen or to say you liked Freddie Mercury. Most classmates thought they were all gay. Gay was bad I suppose. About all kids in school were into grunge or eurohouse / eurodance / early hardcore. It didn't make me think gay was bad, It didn't make me stop listening to Queen or start listening to the grunge or house rubbish. Be yourself. Fuck the Freddie haters. Fuck the gay haters. Queen is a great band. Freddie was an amazing singer, composer and frontman. If those kids don't want see that just because he died of Aids, they are missing out on some great music in their lives. Not you. |

yeah go on and mock me once again, but i know more about the gay homophobes than you think. There is a nasty family in America called the phelps and they campaign full on against any one who is gay, they fill America with gay hatred and have rallies marching all over the states with banners with such slogans as "god hates faggots" " faggots go to hell" etc......... They also had a cardboard cut out of famous gay stars to mock and one sadly was our beloved freddie. America gave Queen the cold shoulder after the video for "i want to break free" and nothing has changed over there since. |

gerry wrote: Homophobia has increased here in the uk across schools and socially. You guys are out of touch.Gerry - before you attack me, I will say one thing - your comments are so far out of touch it's unreal. You speak from a perception, and utter opinions that you don't back up with facts. Here's a bona-fide fact for you: Until my early retirement 2 years ago, I worked as Equality Manager in a very large UK prison - so i can speak from factual experience. I can tell you - because it was my fucking job to know this - that "even in prisons" the levels of homophobia are NOTHING like the epidemic you imply. If anything, discrimination of ALL types is nothing like the way it used to be in the Prison service i joined in the 1970s. The further improvements since the Equality Act 2010 are proof that behaviour - either through persuasion or attitudal change the "problem" is nowhere near as bad as YOU say. Prisons (in my 33 yrs service) have always reflected the wider society, with the claustrophobic nature of the environment heightening and exaggerating any problems that do exist. Based on my paragraph above, I'd say your perception of society as one where discrimination - homophobic in particular - is on the rise to be wholly inaccurate and misleading. Any chance you'll accept someone speaking with actual facts to back up their statement? |
| gerry 23.01.2015 08:19 |
i can back up my claims, because CH4 done a documentary on homophobia in America and it is rife and getting out of control. Back home in the uk, the metropolitan police announced Homophobia is back on the rise with many attacks never getting reported the police, which is very disturbing. victims seem to think they will get mocked by the police if they report these nasty crimes. Even stonewall announced last year homphobia is on the rise. check out GT sometime and learn some home truths about gay culture. |

I gave you a factual example of an extreme part of society (prison) - a place where i worked and in a job role specifically relevant to this subject matter....my role was to deal with, investigate and report on all discrimination. and YEs there was discrimination - there always will be. But it was greatly reduced since the dark days of the late 70s/early 80s. My facts bear scrutiny - yours don't and until YOu start to accept actual facts as opposed to your thoughts - you really have no chance. It'd be interesting to see what others feel about the UK.. |
| gerry 23.01.2015 11:28 |
I have stated my facts, infact why don't you google Homophobia in the uk, they you will get all the facts you can stomach. Then you will plainly see that what i have discussed earlier is "fact" and not my personal thoughts! My mates brother works in one notorious prison in Durham, and its rife with homophobia and assaults on a regular basis, not that i am saying all prisons are like that but Durham is one of the toughest prisons in the uk. My uncle was chief prison officer and worked in some of the nastiest prisons all over the uk, and he even tells me homophobia inside is nasty and bloody. Anyway you should also google the phelps family, it is interesting reading! |

| brENsKi 23.01.2015 11:59 |
then the data he quotes is out of date as there have been NO Chief Officers in ANY English/Welsh Prisons since 1987. 2013 - to date operational support grade > officer > supervising officer > custodial manager > Operational Manager 5-1 1987-2013 operational support grade > officer > senior officer > principal officer > Governor 5-1 > Governor In Charge upto 1987 auxiliary officer > officer > senior officer > principle officer > chief 2 > chief 1 > Assistant Governor 2 > Assistant Governor 1 > dep governor > Governing Gov also he COULD NOT have been working in the prison service at the time i quote my data from ie - 2011-2013.. reason? as Chief officer from early 70s (let's say 1974) to 1987 (end of chief rank) he'd have served at least 8-10 years prior to 74 to attain the rank of chief. which makes his service start date approx 1965. Youngest start date for unified prison staff in those days was 21 - so 21 in 1965 makes him at least 69 today - if you're telling the truth!!!! and if you ARE being honest then he's been retired at least 10 years as the retirement age for staff who joined BEFORE 1987 is 55 years old... therefore whatever he has told you is at least 10 years out of date...as no one who was ever a chief officer has been working in english/welsh prisons for at least ten years... happy to have been of service (again) |

| miraclesteinway 23.01.2015 12:36 |

gerry wrote:My uncle is now 76 and i may have got my dates wrong but i am not lying as he was a chief prison officer. why would i lie for anyway? He lived in wakefield which is near Leeds,you need to learn to read i said that if you are telling the truth then your data was at least 10 years out of date - Chief rank ceased in 1987, and he would be at least 69 now - i am right as you just confirmed he's 76. which means that not only is YOUR data/quotes from your uncle 10 years out of date - it's MUCH older - as at 76 he'd have retired 15-20 years ago. so yet again Gerry world quotes data he perceives to be true when it's actually decades out of date. my data was correct as of 2013 - when i retired from the service. but STILL YOU won't accept the facts not arguing with you anymore, as YOU have proven time and time and time a-fucking-gain that you can't be reasoned with...this is just another in a long list of gerry shactoids that even when debunked - you still defy logic. people can choose which discrimination data they consider the most relevant and up-to-date: 1] second hand info from someone whose uncle last worked in the prison service 15-20 years ago or 2] someone with 33 years prison service employment, whose last role in a prison was as Equality Manager in a 1,000 prisoner local prison until May 2013. |

Brenski, you are forgetting the ch4 documentary on homophobia and that was 2 years ago. If you read my post correctly i did state it is still quite bad around some prisons, and socially, gay hate crime is still out there. Even in foreign countries like Russia, Jamaica, Zimbabwe etc..... you can end up dead if someone suspects you are gay. Over here even UKIP are homophobic, so you see you think you know it all when infact you know fuck all. |

Brenski: If you think you know better then get in touch with the Metropolitan police and ask them about homophobia crimes in the UK and they will tell you simply that gay hate crime is on the increase! That is only the tip of the iceberg because many many gay hate crimes do not get reported in this country, let alone in the rest of the world.

i never said there wasn't any homophobia - i said it had significantly decreased since the 70s/80s. You said it had increased You are wrong. and FYI - there was never a CHIEF PRISON OFFICER rank in the Prison Service - the rank title was CHIEF OFFICER and - as i said previously - this rank disappeared in 1987!!! so your uncle was NOT a CHIEF OFFICER for at least the last 27 years - check your facts. Now, i really am not debating this with you any further...i have proven beyond all doubt my knowledge of Equality and Prison service to be more accurate than yours.

You simply cannot generalize so broadly as to say "All Americans are______," nor can you judge a population of 315 million by the actions of one deranged family. To do so exhibits extreme idiocy and some very lazy thinking. Or are we to believe that all Brits behave like Derrick Bird? Even a complete moron could see the folly in that sort of thinking.
