Face it: Freddie was gay and Brian is as ugly as hell. (and so is his wife) Who gives a shit anyway? It's all about the music.

una999 wrote: First to that guy who believes in chaos theory about why someone is gay - bullshit in all honesty. Because u had a traumatic experience u start loving men over women? That's just psychologists making money off people.

Jazz 78 wrote: My uncle calls Freddie Mercury "Faggy Mercury" all the time...he seems to not get it that Freddie Mercury was a man of extremes and a man who was very loving and caring. It upsets me that some people can be so ignorant about homosexuals...especially when they speak of Freddie in such a way. It's disgusting. He may call Freddie "faggy" but your uncle is a pussy. Freddie could have bought and sold him a million times over and made him his bitch if he were a live today.

Some people still don't get it....they take Freddie too personally...as if they KNEW him. You didn't KNOW him (unless of course you did, and then I shall apologize :P). Freddie was a PERSON. He LIVED just like any other normal PERSON. Freddie wasn't god. Freddie wasn't a hero. Freddie was just Freddie with an amazing musical ability (perferably vocal). If anyone should say ANYTHING at all about Freddie (be it "Freddie's gay" or "His teeth are crooked" etc...Who gives a shit? Freddie should be given the chance of being treated like a person; and people are made fun of. I fucking hate how he's supposed to be "SPECIAL"....He's a goddamn person damnit! Final conclusion: Freddie's gay. He had AIDS. He died (unfortunately ;_;). But he had talent, and he was an amazing musician. You can't stop opinions. People will ALWAYS mock, tease, and be unfair about it. Least you can do is ignore. Sorry if that sounded a bit harsh... So, like Charles said, "turn it into a joke". :) "How do you know he's a fag...did you sleep with him"? lol...maybe not that extreme...but still....people will NEVER change. You can't expect EVERYONE to love Freddie....because they never will :(

Me : Though I guess it would be neat if Queen mated with, I don't know, ELO... but I'm not really sure who's a boy or girl... Person : I meant gay as in, like, STUPID. Me : Your colloquial usage is great. As an amateur etymologist, I would like to propose that "cabbage" now means "snarky". Person : Woa... that's a big word.

So i told her and then she said "But i thought he was one of the first to die of AIDS??" I replied, "No, many died before him. Like... Freddie Mercury", directing her to a lovely picture of him on my wall. She then said, "Well, He probably caught it from him!!" ... Stupid, stupid woman! She'll never learn. :P

My mother tends to think there must have been something 'wrong' with Freddie for knowing the risks of what he was doing and not protecting himself. :/

It's possibly due to her growing up in a less acceptable society, darrrrrrrling. *hands you a flower to stop any frustration from misunderstanding parents* :)
