"sorry if it was written it was in the US, i couldn't find it"
"btw Sonja aren't you from germany?"
Yep, I live in Germany. I doubt that there are more narrow-minded people anywhere else in the world. At least I don't know any. Everywhere I go and meet people I think they're by far not as narrow-minded as some people here in Germany.
Not even in America and I've been there quite often...
And there's so absolutely nothing wrong with gay people! Especially gay men are so much nicer than most straight men.

I personally think that lesbian women are much more attractive than gay men.

"Especially gay men are so much nicer than most straight men"
Most gay men have more feminine tendency than straight men, which is maybe the reason you identify with them more, as a woman. I think there was even a research about that.
I ran into the "The singer was gay" thing as well, but I don't have friends who dislike Queen because of Freddie's sexual preference.
I also ran into the "gay music" term on the internet, when people found out I like Queen & Elton John.

"For the record, I've been an Adidas fan since the mid-70s. I liked the black and white design and wore them years before Queen made them famous. The boxing boots are no longer available, but there is a newer model that is actually a "yoga shoe" and looks like a knockoff of Fred's stage shoes!"
And I thought it was all those sports teams in the 60s and 70s that made Adidas popular.
My junior high basketball team wore Adidas in 69. Maybe Fred saw our team picture and was inspired.

Just your personal impression of course. Be careful with the term "anywhere else in the world", you know there are dozens of countries where homosexuality is forbidden. I rather have the impression that Germany is a very liberal country, and we don't have to look at the extreme examples. Look at your neighbours in Austria, also beautiful people but when it comes to narrowminded people in general... at least there are enough of them to elect Jörg Haider Hauptmann of Carinthia. But I see you didn't intend political discussion.
"Especially gay men are so much nicer than most straight men."
That's a shallow prejudice as well. Dasselbe in grün.

Thank god Queen never made any clothes / fashion popular. Not even Adidas shoes. We can't even make Freddie responsible for the existence of the moustache. But I do understand that some of their songs are reason enough to hate them, at least as long as you don't know their better songs.

PD.
Internet reviewer G. Starostin dislikes Queen for several reasons:
He once met a Queen fan who has never heard about "Stairway To Heaven".
He was envy for Queen having a more massive fan basis in Russia than
some bands he liked better. He disliked Freddie's and the band's
arrogance. He preferred lyrics to be meaningful or sincere (eg Bob Dylan).
These made him writing some unfairly vicious album and band
ratings with a fake touch of subjectivity.

When I first got GVH2 I had to tell all my friends- even the ones who don't like Queen. I was telling one of my friends about it and she said "Ewe, isn't that the band with all the gay guys in it?" It pisses me off when people say things like that. Does it honestly matter that much!? grrr....!

Anyone who hates Queen or Freddie Mercury have been listening to The Darkness too much. They should listen to Queen a lot more!

Yes, you're right. I wasn't only referring to homosexuality though. It might be different in bigger cities, but here on the country where I live, people are very narrow-minded. A friend of mine is bisexual and even his mother got into trouble with another woman because she was talking bad about her son.
I don't want to generalise, I'm just talking about the experiences I have made and the impression they gave me.

Ahhh! They just can't stop calling Queen a bunch of potheads! He loses all credibility!

oh, my female friend liked Queen and she was called a lesbian! because "he looks like a woman". luckily my classmates are less dumb, but I too was called a lesbian because people thought I was logging on to "QueeRzone" every day.
I have never heard a worse reason to like a band. "because their singer is dead".

Queen can be hated by people who can't understand the geniality of our 4 musicians. so people pick some "details" and exclude from considerations the superb music they created. Nowadays talking about queen is like talkng about a legend of modern and contemporary music...QUeen covers 2 generation of people, now children born with parents who used to like Queen...i think that there will be a large number of "new" fans in 10 years. Anyway in my personal experience, i see many people that can sing We will rock you (at least try mispelling words ;) ) and everybody knows the chorus of we are the champions...but, for example, BoRhap is a "mysterious object": "Hu....funny this 'Galileo figaro!'...but who is singing?!?!"... :( and...oh yes...everybody knows "radio ga ga...radio goo goo" and "De do de de, de do de de"......so, sad to say, people has a very superficial knowledge about Queen.(at least in my area)
Finally... yes...i have heard from some teenagers..."Freddie was gay, wasn't him?"

Last year I had someone ask me if I had AIDS. When I replied, amused, "No...", they said "well why do you like Freddie Mercury then?"
I sent it to a teen magazine and it was posted in the "Rude Moments" section! (I need to look for it to scan it in!) I passed it around to all my friends, and they all went, "Wow, that IS rude!" I joked back, "I should have just bled on them or something..."
