I'm listening to the "Jazz" CD..." He replied..."Well what do you know...a faggot listening to faggoty music." I got really pissed and I said..."Hey Dunce...Queen is one of the greatest rock and roll bands to ever exist...Metallica and Nirvana cite Queen as influences...and none of them are gay...the only fag in the band was their lead singer...OH and by the way...tell your good for nothing bitch of a mother to stop leaving her lingerie at my house...'cause tonight when she comes over, I'm gonna make her swallow!" By the time I said that the bus had come screeching to a halt and I got moved to the front...and for my language I was sent home shortly after getting to school...Looking back on it...it was the best original insult I'd ever thrown at anyone...

No, unfortunately, not only the American fans get homophobic comments, I live in Romania and I got lots of them (in what concerns Queen, cos I'm not gay and many people tend to think I must be camp because of loving their music). However, this never made me ashamed of being a Queen fan (why should I? There's no reason to feel ashamed) and, besides that, I became very protective towards gays since then... I always defend them when somebody throws some uneducated comment. And I carry on with Queen, cos they rock!

I whipped back and said, "I don't know, are you sore?" Another time my dad tried to convince me that Queen covered Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

All too often. What's worse is having to say "You know, they did 'We Will Rock You'". And then you get an "oh... yeah........them....." What's worse is the fact that you can't tell them that Queen has so much more than just "We Will Rock You". Because they'll never get it and it's a waste of time to try.

(believe me, I've really heard that) The thing is, if I talk to the ones around my age (I'm 19) it's not very likely to be told: Aaaah...Queen...great band. If I'm lucky they know it's a band. If I talk to older people, they would surely know what's Queen about, and say something like "Aaah...Queen...cool" I'm from Romania too and I can't realize how most people here can be so ignorant. They prefer, like everywhere, easy-music, which does not need the superior part of your body. QUEEN ROCKS!!!Nothing will change that.

He's a hard-core Pink Floyd and Tool fan, you know the type. Sometimes he gets a bit cynical about music that he doesn't feel has "substance" (I would call him a psuedo-intelletual wannabe, but hey, he is one of my best friends. Plus, I LOVE Tool and Pink Floyd too, who doesn't?-don't answer that) So one day he basically infers that the lyrics to wwry and watc are "narsacistic"(sp?) and mean basically nothing, and how could I possibly like that music: ,"I mean We will ROCK you, what is THAT??" I tried to explain how the songs were written to pump up the crowd @ concerts and give them something to sing along to, how the words really have symbolic meaning, etc. But it sucks that I heve to explain things like that to people. Why do I even bother?
