I'm a Queen fan and a teenager. So what? Well young Queen fans get slagged CONSTENLY! I always get crap like 'weren't they all gay or something..' and 'Queen are a bunch of gay faggots' i get loads more. This REALLY pisses me OFF! I don't slag their Usher and 50 Cent and their other crap that they listen to! So why should I? Just because their a bunch of homophobics doesn't mean they can take it out on me!

Ha feck them,see it this way,50 cent and usher wont go down in history books as great musicians and they certainly will never have a big a fan base as Queen.We know Queen are better than all of them on so many different levels so just let the feckers think what they like.I mean you and I know they're just a phase.In a few years they'll probably be bankrupt or something anyway |

Queen did all their own instrumentals at live concerts. you never see 50 cent using an instrument,shows how lazy modern day music is. Maybe thats why anybody with a brain cell likes indie bands (because their independant and do all their own istrumentals) |

You know what you guys? I'm 40. Been following the band since November of 77 and EVEN BACK THEN I was getting the same crap you guys get! EXACTLY the same shit! "They's all faggots" "Gay" etc. It didn't mean shit to me then nor does it mean shit to me now! Those same people, though they didn't buy the albums, would occasionally be heard singing a song or two in the hallways at school or wherever. I think teenagers that listen to Queen or any of these classic bands are so fucking cool!!! We were there when they around and touring but you guys... and gals... are keeping their music alive and hopefully you'll pass it on to your kids. It still works for the Beatles, Stones, Who etc. I don't see Herman and the Hermits making a splash these days with the youth. Pay no mind to them people. Enjoy the music. |

I'm 15 years old... I've shown a picture of Queen to a friend of mine, and he said: This one's gay because of his hair (pointing at Roger)... This one here is gay because of his clothes (pointing at John) This one's gay because of his moustache (you know who he was pointing at, don't you..? :P ) And this last one here... well, i don't know why, but he's gay too (pointing on Brian...) This is what someone (not everyone, thank God) who hear Slipknot and 50 Cent thinks of good music... |

Try living with a sister who absolutely loathes anything over 3 years old let alone classic rock. She's only 14 and under the impression that Chavs/rap and techno music are cool. Oh how much she has to learn. You should see the look of horror on her face when I blast the operatic section of Bo Rap, makes me laugh every time. Im the complete opposite of course, but i mean, todays music isnt that good either. Im an indie fan, and some of it is ok, but nothing compares to the classic rock days of the 60's 70's and 80's with bands such as Queen, Led Zep, Stones, Bealtes, ACDC, Kiss- im only 17, but i feel entitled to be able to tut 'kids today...' and go off and blast Killer Queen on my old-school vinyl player to embarass my sister. We all know that Queen wrote masterpieces, ignore the f*ck wits who believe that queen we're faggotts. Being gay myself that actually pisses me off to the limit. Homophobia grrr, but hey, lets leave that for another forum topic huh? |

stomp stomp clap... Time to stuff some Queen into people's heads! Can we laugh at them once 50 Cent comes out of the closet? Hm? Or Eminem? All that macho posturing is just covering up for the fact that they "drop anchor in Poo Bay," to quote fatty-as-Freddie. When in doubt, here are some possible rebuttals. "Will anyone go to see 50 Cent or Usher in 10 years? 20 years?" "Who's sold more records: Queen or all of your shit combined?" "So does that make [insert popular artist influenced by Queen] gay too?" "Who the hell made you King Of All Music And Dictator Of Culture?" Hmm...running out of ideas here... If worst comes to worst, dredge up A Night at the Hip Hopera or (gag) Q-Unit, and see if they like the backing tracks. The final result would be to walk away and say to them as stonefaced as possible... I don't have time to deal with people who insult a dead rock legend. And if they stand there stunned, feel free to add in a Freddie fist raise, or a WWRY rhythym somewhere. |

Nuuuuh, really, I didn't know that!*sarcastic comment*. I'm not as ignorant as they are, I think I would know if Freddie was still alive and the fact he was gay is really not that a big a deal and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. When people hassle Freddie to my face it is just the same if you went up to a christian and said "Jesus Christ, I just kicked my toe on this God damn table" I can't stand (and won't stand for) it. |

Times haven't changed much. Being in Jr high & high school through the early to mid 80's was just as bad. I got my chops busted all the time. "Freddie's gay!, The band is gay..." Yadda, yadda, yadda, Yawn! I got even at lunch all the time. We were allowed to bring in tapes to play over the cafateria pa. First one up there got their music played. I made sure I got up there first as much as possible. Queen albums were played all through high school to the masses thanks to me. I couldn't give a damn if anyone complained. |

I'm African-American, and my mom always says that a lot of black people here in the states LOVED AOBTD!!! It came out when she was in high school(My mom is 43 now) ***off subject: My brother thinks Freddie Mercury looks like Ben Stiller from Dodgeball.

| dimcyril 28.02.2006 08:06 |
it appears that being called gay is the worst insult kids seem to throw at each other these days. i know i worked in a school till recently and heard it all the time. it proably stems from kids worries that maybe they might turn out gay. shouting the loudest abuse about homosexuals is just their insecurity about the issue, maybe you should point that out to them. luckily when i was in school in the 1980s, most people loved queen, esp post the works and live aid. i [along with my bro and best friend] was the only pupil in my school who went to see them on the magic tour and we were given large amounts of respect for it |
| firefox-inqueen 28.02.2006 14:50 |
isnt it funny that some people at my my school know queen but doesnt like them. e.g. they will happily sing (or do the beat)we will rock you but then they slag off other songs of queen. annoying i know someone who loves about 6 queen songs but then goes off and listen to s**t like 50 cent. annoying i'd love to see the coolest chav in a/my school listening to queen.just to see the reaction. |

I can commiserate with you my dear... A few of my friends were really riding my arse because i was sooo excited about going to the Q+PR show and they kept asking me the same questions over and over and laughing at me and saying the usual "oh, hes a f**" isnt he etc... And i answered their stupid question, and then told them to shut up because they were descecrating the name of a dead man... then added, yea you're real mature Then they proceeded to ask me what was the point of going then... I then explained how the whole band is amazing etc... Then they laughed at me some more.. and one constantly chides me for the music i love, saying how it sucks and they cant play for shit... and i tell him i dont make fun of the Shite he listens too... because its your opinion, but dont bother me about it... But you know what, i dont care, i j/ ignore them and im proud to call myself a Queen Fan... And i told them i didnt give a light about what they said to me because i saw the greatest show of my life on March 17, 2006 and they have no idea and dont deserve to have the heavenly sounds of Queen or any classic rock grace their ears... But hang in there, because you are bound to convert some one... or find someone who loves them too... |

I get so much crap for listening to Queen. One of my friends sia something like "the only reason people know Queen is because they had catchy songs" [referring to WWRY & WATC] Yeah, right, because that's the only songs they ever recorded... Ooo, it pisses me off. And often when people tell me "Queen sucks" I just answer with: (me)-"Mhm... And what music do you listen to?" -"Umm... Green Day" (me)-"But you see Green Day is such a cheap wannbee-band it's patetic. Do you know that they sing We are the champions in all their concerts? Do you know that they come out on stage with a copy of Brian May's guitar? Do you know that they've even said themselves that Queen is a major influence on their music? No? Didn't think so! Ha, shut the fuck up about Queen, cause you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about" |

Yesterday one girl in my class wrote 'Sarah loves Queen' all over the blackboard and then announced to the class, "Everybody look up at the board now. Sarah loves Queen! Haha!" She was trying to upset me which didn't happen as I'm not embarrassed about my taste in music. Why should I be? Queen are amazing, as we all know here. Yes it does frustrate me from time to time that they can't appreciate classic music. But still, I know I can always go home, listen to my favourite band and talk to other people here who love them as much as I do, a good few of whom are around my own age which reminds me that I'm not the only teen Queen fan out there. If anything I care more about that than about what these thick eejits say. |

On this subject... I'm 17 and in High School... and, I do get some crap, but there are people that like Queen, too. I once used Queen in my PowerPoint about the English Language compared to American (I used song clips from "Flick of the Wrist" and "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" too). And, though Queen wasn't the focus (I used a "Penny Lane", Beatles clip too...) at all... The first thing I get asked is "Ooo... Wasn't he a queer???" and "Didn't he die of AIDS?" And the whole room erupted. I kinda just stood there while some guy in the front row started professing that "Fat Bottomed Girls" was a gay love song - "No straight guy can listen to that!" (so, I brought up Brian May and that song "I Like Big Butts" that was SO popular... gag). And no one even said a word about Old English or Shakespeare! This whole "gay as an insult" thing really bothers me... I wrote an article about it in my school's paper... eh, now all I get is the obligation to say "YES, the computer is fantastically happy!" or "The first thing you're going to learn about me today is that if you use that word in such a manner again, I am going to wap you with my planner" Um... yep. So far, I've not had to hit anyone. Of course, I don't think it's just "teens" that have some misconceptions. ONE OF MY TEACHERS (who is over 40) said something like "Well, they were all gay, right?" Well, I wouldn't give a flying flip if they were, but it just shows that perfectly grown up people also do that. But, hey - a guy in one of my classes was all for shouting loudly "Freddie was the best singer ever!" |

You know, I recently moved to a town a half-hour away from my old one (completely different areas), and the school I'm going to is in a black community, so it's really different. Basically 98% of the students listen to rap and R&B. I mean, I'm not going to say it's crap, but it just isn't my type of music. So because of that, not one student in my high school knows who Queen are, only the people I've made friends with and my teachers... I became a bit disappointed this morning when I decided to listen to Queen II at the bus stop. The bus ride was sort of quiet, and I was really in the mood for some Ogre Battle, but didn't know that every kid on the bus was going to be able to hear it, and some of the kids laughed! Immature...I ignored them obviously |

Strange enough, I don't really go through that. I tell people I like Queen, and they're cool with it, no petty gay remarks. Except for this one time, I show my friend a pic of Freddie, and she looks at me as if I'm an idiot and says, 'He's gay, isn't he...' I comfronted her in the classroom later and asked her what she had against gay people. "I don't know... they're weird!" Tsc, tsc... I hope she opens up that mind of hers soon. However, people at my school do make fun of Billy Joel... Some of their little remarks: "Damn, he's ugly!" And they think Usher is hot?? :-P "Eww!" You don't just say "ew" about a person! "That's child abuse, he's a pervert!" On the whole issue of him marrying Katie Lee... I just felt like kicking their faces in... I hope he and Katie are happy together!! |
