How well did Rudi really know Freddy ?

btw the management who you claim "deny him" is Jim Beach, the man who helped set up the The Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity organisation that is dedicated to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Beach remains a trustee of the Trust. Not a bad record for someone you allege is trying to hide Fred's gay identity.

Of course, he chased women around in videos and held them in his arms he was directed too by management it was his job. That means absolutely nothing but he was following orders everybody has a boss.As far as AIDS he as a man had the right to protect his family it had nothing to do with being gay. His poor parents went to see his body and they flashed a camera in his face.As a mom how terrible is that.A mother knows her son she told the public she didn’t know he was gay but every mom knows her son and I think she knew he was gay. Management wanted not told he was gay.

A little thing called love a woman’s crotch was in his face and it was like he was looking through a brick wall no man does this it looked so bad.They should’ve let him be himself. Hell they should’ve put a guy there why not? That’s what wrong with people if it works why change it.But they did they wanted to make him somebody he wasn’t for the sake of shame. Being gay used to be considered a dirty thing. Well they didn’t want it so they made a straight Freddie and they did a shitty job.

As far as the clone era he was coming into himself he was almost like being reborn how special that would’ve been to witness. Unless you understand Freddie’s world you can’t grasp how special this is for someone. It wasn’t a fashion statement for him . He was saying here I am world I’m ready to embrace this beautiful lifestyle fully admit who I truly am and if you don’t like it fuck off.Thats my opinion.

Freddie’s mom wrote Jim a letter and told thank you for taking care of my son. He even took Jim to visit his folks. His parents knew that was his partner for his careers sake and contracts they denied knowing he was gay .

He wasn’t ashamed of who he was he came to know who he was and celebrated life as anyone would.

You must think very little of Freddie if you believe he was so weak as to let his management (Jim Beach, according to you the rabid anti-gay manager who nevertheless set up an Aids charity) force him to hide his identity. And of course I did say I didn't blame Fred for hiding his private life, but you've ignored that (because that's what conspiracy theorists do). And accusing Fred's parents of lying is pretty despicable, but then again everybody's got to be in on the conspiracy, right? :(

BTW if Fred wanted his private life kept private, why do you think you have a right to know about it?

Look I’m not gonna argue with you I don’t know your age but in 1989 I was 14 had a girl friend and there is no way we walked hand and hand in school or anywhere. We had to leave our small town so no one would know.Everyone thought we were really good friends.Times have changed but old timers like Jim beach have not . The man was a awesome buisness man for Queen that’s all Freddie and the others cared about. In buisness you have to take the good with bad.Freddie was highly intelligent man he knew Jim could handle the money and make it grow. But yes I believe Jim beach was and is a bigot. It’s my opinion.Everyone has one that’s okay to have an opinion.

The film about him that came out was a disaster And a bald faced lie.People that knew him best have had some to say on that one. the man was not sad not hiding his sexuality outside Queen dealings he was having one hell of a good time and enjoying himself where ever he was.Then AIDS hit a very sad thing he died way too young we lost a great artist.We lost other artist too.As far as Freddie’s parents his mom did I believe what she thought was best. I think they knew he was gay since he was a teenager in school. A mother knows her son a bond always exists there in my culture that can’t be broken.

My grandmother loved her son he was also a gay man and she told me when I became older she always knew he was gay from an early preteen age. She still loved him. You do a lot for your children.

Bigots run charities all the time hell they have run our countries.

Holly, isn’t rabid a perfect word for a sick dog. Well in my mind bigots are just that they are sick and full of hate for something they know nothing about.A dog has no control over becoming rabid but a human has many choices not to do the things they do.Certain groups of society are the sick ones they used to view being gay as a illness. Give me a break society are the ones that need locked up and let the rest of us roll back to the 60s and enjoy ourselves with whom ever we please!!!!!!!!

It is a myth that Freddie was closeted. It is true that he felt it was no one’s business and felt people should se him as a human and an artist first.

But Freddie was WELL KNOWN for traipsing around gay bars and wearing t-shirts from BDSM gay bars etc.

As far as him running after a woman in a video. It’s just a character he was playing. The video’s plot was built around old fashioned movies from the 50’s. Pretty sure mainstream movies in the 50’s didn’t have gay men chasing each other around and kissing.

So for that to be used as “evidence” he was hiding his sexuality is rediculous.

I think it’s a crime men in the 50s couldn’t show their love and affection toward one another. They were treated like animals no wonder they were scared who wants to go to prison for showing intimacy or affection. We can’t control who our emotions and physical hormones and chemistry’s are attracted to and we owe no explanation. But I guess I’m good ole 1950 we did. I was born in the 70s I’m sure it was still just as bad. But wasn’t there a period in the 60s where everybody was having the free love era.

I have one guy friend that grew up in the oppression and has filled me in some but people under50 really don’t understand because by the time I was a teenager the 90s started a time of change.
