Um...the queen machine hiding Freddie's sexuality absolutely was the case. It's literally discussed in the great pretender doc and we all know Freddie was asked to being Mary to public events throughout the 70s and 80s. As far as it happening even now...how else would explain that bio pic (Mary shrine) if not to downplay being gay and being happy as a gay man?
Also thank fuck the tone of this thread is better now.
Emdee,Hello I didnt't watch it either.Everyone says it was good.So I'm sure it was.I'm glad Brian and Roer have good health and are able to keep doing what they love.I"m sad John isn't with them though but I understand.
Charles, We are on the road to recovery thank God.I sound like a drug rehab center.Glad to hear from you too.
The great pretender documentary- not the John Blunt one by the same name- was good and did touch his gayness and why he tried to hide it but there was another one with David Wigg where he says "The production company knew they were about to come into a lot of money and that wasn't going to happen if everyone knew he was gay. They didn't want him to be out." I don't remember what documentary that was but I bet you anything Villiers knows.
Dustin, I'm not sure if this is the only documentary containing that quote, but I know it's found in the Freddie Mercury - Magic Remixed documentary. It's available on YouTube.
Dustin that is interesting, I wonder what the documentary was ?
Chevyman ..sorry Adam doesn't do it for me lol . There is no one like Freddie but I guess Adam is doing good for a generation of new fans and older ones who still want to see Brain and Roger in action and enjoy the music. I showed my 11 year old a video of Adam singing and asked her opinion as I thought it would be interesting what she would say seeing as she knows neither that well. She said Freddie ....that's my girl lol . I didn't put her under any pressure.....promise lol
Emdee I'm being teased left ,right and centre on Queen/Freddie groups as lots of fans are in the US and have seen it......frustrationing
Freddienotfreddy what was it that left you with the impression that there is no hiding of Freddie's sexuality or are you referring to Adam.

The Magic Remixed doc has the clip with David Wigg in which David asked 'can I say you are in a relationship with a man'? Freddie replied 'no,' your mustn't '
Yikes no you want to stay away from the magic remixed one if I remember correctly it claims Freddie was bi.
The great pretender and the Untold story have that audio clip of Freddie telling wigg not to say hes with a man but that's hes happy with his relationship

Thanks Gewen I haven't seen the whole doc in years and I had spotted that clip of wigg talking about the production company not wanting him to be out bc they'd lose money on someones Instagram and I could be wrong but I thought the magic remixed one was another bad doc
Thought I would share this story I found, I love finding tales like this from Peter.
Thor/Lee you probably know this side of Freddie :)
citing an example of the two sides of Mercury working together, Freestone remembered one time the singer "came downstairs, complaining bitterly that he had no cologne, nobody cared about him, nobody bought him anything – which basically meant he had three half-bottles. [He said,] ‘I’m going out to sort something out for myself.’ So he went out with his driver; they went to Harrods.
“He came back with two bags from Harrods and he looked through them, and took out one one bottle of cologne, ‘See? I’ve bought this for me. This is mine.’ Then he proceeded to give everybody including the cleaning ladies … perfume, colognes, things. That was just the way he was.”

Dustin, I haven't seen them for a while so I can't remember if magic remixed referred to him as Bi. Also I didn't realise that question from Wigg was in those two docs although it's been a while since I've seen them both. I did watch the unedited version of the Untold Story yesterday and don't recall it in this version. I will have to watch them again.
I dislike the label bisexual.I hope that doesnt offend anyone.For so many of my years that is the label folks but on me and I hated it.I just dislike wasting time on labeling people they are who they are free to love who they want regardless of any gender boundaries.Call me a freak if you want I just dont see why someone has to have a gender preference.If you notice I dont waste to much time on the subject because I feel a person is who they are and if someone doesnt like it look the other way.However,I do respect those who Identify themselves with labeling because that's their right to do so.I just dont feel I need to justify anything to anyone.Just my opinion.
