hi i have had one argument that has lasted a month and people claim that because freddie was gay he was a pedophile. i am so annoyed and because i love queen and freddie i am gay aswell
What do i say to those people as i might hit them
No need in hitting them. You do that, you'll go as low as their minds go.
Just do as I do/did and say: "Really dear? I never knew that." and walk away.
being gay and a pedophile are 2 different things! I don't think of Freddie's sexual preference. It doesn't matter, he was a singer and a DAMN good one at that!

When in a situation like that, I try to make it light or into a joke. There's no point in me arguing about it.
If someone comes up to me and says in an evil way, "Did you know Freddie Mercury was GAY ?!" (like I should be shocked or offended and stop listening to Queen because it will corrupt my poor brain), I would rather respond, "As a daffodil" than "SO FUCKING WHAT ?!" and start a fight.
It's pretty easy to fight "stupidity" with nonsense, because it's something the "stupid people" certainly do not have the capacity to understand.

I agree! It is so easy to fight stupidity with nonsense! Some of them are really gullible! When somebody was going on about freddie being gay as if it was something disgisting i just went to them and said 'did u know that i think your hetrosexual?' and they went 'IM NOT GAY!' LOL!
I believe it's been shown that most pedos are actually heterosexual. Of course many gays are turned on by smooth young hotties.. myself included, but Freddie apparently preferred ugly, moustache-toting semi-muscular drones of Burt Reynolds' 70s persona.
Boys of 16 are legal in the UK though. Ripe for the pickin'. Ah yeah.
Regretfully, there is much un-needed hatred directed towards homosexuality these days. Look on any gay celebrity's message boards and you will see evidence of this.
However, let ignorant and deluded individuals be. The most important thing is that we, the fans, remember them for the people they WERE or ARE and not what some idiots claim about them. It hurts when people say things like this, but just keep reminding yourself that you and many other people know it's not true.
They're much worse off for not seeing three feet in front of them. Some people need to just open their eyes and see the real world.
I personally have nothing against homosexuals and bisexuals. At the end of the day, we're all human.
I agree with you Nathan and I'd like to say that an important and hurting point which influenced Freddie's life to a very large degree is that he was sexually abused by an elder boy in boarding school. And I think that is frightening - that there indeed are pedophiles or homosexuals who literally 'spoil' and pervert other human beings who are completely innocent. Certainly, this is a very delicate topic and a big problem, but if we close our eyes we cannot resolve this problem either.
