NEW THOR & LEE Info on Freddie Mercury Book.

Benross, I agree it seems they all were close to Freddie it’s hard to trust I think especially men you get screwed over so many times you find love and some friends that are true you have to keep them around.Im glad Freddie had them . I hope you enjoy the book.Dudley I hope you change your feelings I can tell you from experience the Gay community are good peoples. They love they accept even if your strange that’s okay with them.I struggled with my sexual identity my who young adult hood. I was with a girl 6 years and then discovered I had stronger attractions to men. I still even after marriage felt uncomfortable around straights. So I stay we’re I’m happy and have friends hate is a terrible thing. Love is the answer.

Gay as fuck, people shouldnt be writing books about what freddie got up to, he was a private person.[/QUOTE]

they're no worse than anyone else who write these kind of books.

anyone - black, white, gay, straight, animal, vegetable, journo, friend, foe or Martian - who write these "expose" type books are just cashing in on someone else. shameful.

Bee ski, That’s not correct with these guys at all they lost so many friends almost all I believe to AIDS. Those pictures containing Freddie and the rest of their friends that have been tucked away in the back of their minds hidden for so many years since young men were probably like reliving the trama. Trama isn’t just experienced from war it’s from life’s experiences in childhood and young adulthood. All you want to do is get away from it. It’s called ptsd most people don’t know they have it what they experienced as young men was horrific and they survived it. It was like a war.They will never forget any of those faces in those photos. Maybe that’s one reason they moved the hell away.All their fucking friends were dead.I don’t want to here one other person say they are cashing in.Maybe this book will help give them peace and deal with something they have avoided I don’t know. Have some damn respect enough is enough.

Dudley, I don’t think Freddie was private with them from what I know he trusted them above anyone when it came to men and his sexuality. They were like his family a lot of the time when gays tell their folks they are gay it changes things . So they form their own family’s with their own people that accept them and that’s what Freddie did that’s my opinion.Even if your biological family comes around to the fact and accepts you things are never truly the same.

Brenski -

While you were away on your QZ sabbatical, Thor Arnold (one of Freddie's NY daughters) appeared on QZ in July 2017 in this thread:

http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1480243/clarification-of-thor-arnolds-role-in-freddies-life.aspx.

I recommend that you scan the first 25 pages of this thread, There were a wide variety of QZers that asked questions, including two of your moderators.

Thor later mentioned that he started this thread after googling his own name and see many "fictional" stories, and felt that he might set the record straight on QZ.

The subject of a possible photo book with Lee Nolan's photos did not arise until November 2017.

This photo book will not be an expose, as Thor and Lee are gentlemen, and I believe both show excellent discretion at responding to salacious inquiries.

SaintJuib, I agree completely well said I can’t believe someone running a Queen site with all those anti bulling rules would come here with this behavior. Well said.

I am merely trying to provide a balanced perspective about the book.

Your comments are not helping.

SaintJuib, They know what the truth is they choose to say nasty hate they know what they are doing. Nothing I said was damaging the hatefulness does need to stop. Every time someone mentions their name someone comes over for nasty remarks.i never been a person with no balls but enough is enough. If you dislike someone that’s fine but to scream hate over something that happened many moons ago makes no sense have a nice day.

By the way sir These people or persons have read QZ from front to back you can’t bank on that . I mean you no disrespect but it’s true.

Saint Jiub...Nice mini recap of Thor's first thread! The love and respect Thor and Lee had for Freddie was evident in their posts. Just as you said, they showed discretion in the way they answered questions...and there were many. At its core, I think their book will simply be a celebration of an amazing friendship. People do not need to ascribe motives or read more into it than that.

If you dislike someone that’s fine but to scream hate over something that happened many moons ago makes no sense have a nice day.[/QUOTE]you need to stop being so ultra-defensive. i don't dislike them in particular. i suggest you re-read my post. it's about (as i said anyone - black, white, gay, straight, animal, vegetable, journo, friend, foe or Martian) who releases books (or other stuff) about dead celebrities. if the subject didn't expressly give their permission/or doesn't endorse it in some way then i disagree with it. you seem to take the whole thing personally. get off your high horse. i'm as entitled to my opinion as you are - i haven't flamed you for yours, so kindly refrain from doing this to me.

fwiw (IMO) - friends (or not) making money out of someone who's dead is immoral and money-grubbing.

Been ski everyone does have a right to their opinion but since none of us were their we don’t know what kind of permission was given to these friends to use friendly fun loving pictures to show to Freddie’s fans who loved him so much. We shouldn’t speculate. Maybe he said you ever get the opportunity let the world know who I was times have changed.They are within their rights.

It’s always okay not to agree with something but to but a slur behind it saying a Gay person doesn’t have the the right is wrong. We all are one the old man made us just as he wanted us in his own vision of perfection.We need not forget when we throw out slurs against gay men we are attacking Freddie too those were his people his family the ones who loved and accepted him.I think the book is gonna be fun loving not a tell all and it’s gonna represent the true man himself don’t miss out.

[/QUOTE] i suggest you re-read my original post - i've re-quoted it for you above. i have NOT criticised any gay person anywhere. if anything i've said they are NO WORSE than anyone who releases this kind of material. i respectfully ask that you withdraw your claim that i did. and in turn focus your attention on the person i quoted - who was the only person to make a disparaging comment about homosexuality. check again, and retract your comment.
