If you would like me to spam a bunch of articles I just read within the last week, I can go on a spamming spree. I am making nothing up. Brian and his band mates were worried about Freddie's lifestyle and people he was hanging out with at one point in his life. It was a hedonistic type of life style and probably how he got Aids. If that doesn't fit into your view of him as a choirboy, not my problem. You can't change the facts, as they are what they are.
It was also mentioned numerous times that Brian never really knew if Freddie was gay or bisexual, so it wasn't cut and dried, as to his persuasion among his best buddies. That was probably why Adam said Freddie could have been bi when he was asked the question when the movie BR came out. You threw a hissy fit that Adam would answer that, it wasn't his business and that wasn't right. Obviously even to this day, there must be questions with his band mates or I am sure Adam would not have answered the way he did. He said that Brian and Roger had discussed and told many stories, so I am sure that came from Brian and Roger. I read what I read and that is all I know. You people seem to selectively pick and choose and disregard what doesn't fit the hallowed narrative. I take the good with the bad and don't pretend that it is otherwise. Once again, your problem, not mine. There is no mouthing off in my post, it is simply things I read in the last week or so. You are the one always telling me to learn the history, so I did some reading. Sorry if it doesn't match your worldview.
By the way, being out to your gay buddies like Halford does not mean he was honest with everyone else about it and that the whole world and all the causal fans knew for sure. There is a big difference.
That’s the problem. He didn’t need to.
How often do you feel compelled to tell people you are straight?
Freddie was rarely asked if he was gay. Articles published back then listed him as gay or bisexual. He didn’t argue that.
Remember when Freddie was asked if I Want To Break Free was dedicated to gays? “No, besides I didn’t write it...”
He didn’t need to go into it further. Why should anyone? Who feels compelled to talk about their sexuality? Freddie LOVED the mystique, “if you see it, then it’s there.”
The problem with the world is that they think people need to discuss those things. Why should an artist discuss them at all? Freddie was satisfied with life. Do you think if he did interviews about being gay that it’d help him?
He didn’t play dress up at home, and everyone there was gay... and he had had sex with half the household.
How did he hide his sexuality? What do you think he should have done about his sexuality? Have a press conference about it?
Making such a big deal about these things is something that oppresses some gays. You don’t see straight people needing to publicly announce their sexuality because of people like you who think they need to publicly announce it.
As for Brian, sure he was worried. Freddie was having so much random sex. Who denied that? Who said he’s a choirboy? Freddie’s even discussed herpes at Queen concerts to the audience. He admitted in interviews about his sex drive numerous times, he said he had more lovers than Liz Taylor. Let’s keep in mind that Brian’s no choirboy, either, with that old habit of cheating. In the long run, you should listen to those who were part of Freddie’s personal entourage... the other members of Queen were not part of it.
