Freddie came in #4 on a show called "listed" here in Canada. The list was the top 20 gay icons of all time. #4 isn't bad for the the people he beat out including George Michael.
Top Ten Gay Icons of All Time:
1. Madonna
2. Elton John
3. Cher
4. Freddie Mercury
5. Melissa Ethridge
6. Pet Shop Boys
7. The Divas (Midler, Dion..)
8. Boy George
9. Boy George
10.Morrisey
Newsflash Drs. DAJA.
Freddie was gay you idiot! I'm so sick and tired of people being ashamed of the fact that Freddie was gay and trying to make out that he was "bi". Being Bi isn't a sexuality per say...it more a confusion.
Madonna isn't gay...but many gay men find her to be an icon.
It's very interesting that the gay icons (for men) like Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, etc. are also Jewish women's icons also.
BTW, did you know that Judy Garland was bi? Well, actually, I don't know for sure- but that's what my mom told me.
