Reasons to hate Queen

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! That makes me so mad!!! I do know people like that too! But there are biggots everywere! So they can listen to their crap that they call music with their closed minds.

I know. These people are sooooo naive! Some of my friends, they say they love WATC and WWRY and BoRap, but everytime I bring up Queen, they say they hate Queen! I keep telling them that it was Queen who wrote those songs, but they keep persisting that it was another artist. WHAT?!?!!?! and one time when we were in the car, BoRap came on, and they started to sing along, and I told them that QUEEN WROTE THIS SONG!!! then when I said that, they quit singing! my god, these people are imbaciles! they are too stubborn to see past the fact that Freddie was gay! argh......................................

yep...i'd like to chime in. As usual, my friends call Queen (and me) gay quite often. I tell them I like the Stones to and they're like "Mick's gay too!" I calmly explain to them Mick simply had a *thing* with David Bowie...nothing more. But they just remind me that my two favorite bands have male frontmen who dance around half naked and are old ;-)

Oh well...ignorance is bliss

Umm...perhaps it time to find friends that aren't homophobes?

In clear conscience I can admit I've been a proud Queen fan from day one. If anyone's ever thought I'm gay because I like them, that's their problem, not mine! I can enjoy the Montreal 78 concert while they can listen to Eminem and convince themselves it's music.

As a young female fan (early 20's) who can only claim being a fan for the past 4 years and never had the chance to enjoy or see Queen while Fred was alive, I have found myself becoming more and more obsessed with getting information about them and filling my life with things that remind me of them. This means I will steer any conversation I have toward Queen almost without meaning to, so it's like my friends get the all-queen-station, all the time. However so far I haven't encountered any hostility or annoyance on their part. I think this MUST say something about my friends themselves b/c the area where I live (South US) is not known for it's open minds. I actually think I have started a couple of my friends on the road to becoming Queeniacs themselves: my best friend, on a whim, bought the GH 3-CD set to start out on, and I'm so proud. I also wear Queen tshirts proudly and often. Here is the newest purchase, courtesy of Ebay (lovely place) if anyone fancies a peek.

I guess the point of my reply is: Idiots beware, our ranks continue to grow!

Much Love!

This guy I know always has to bother me about liking Queen. "You know that Freddie was gay and you still like them/him? You know you're weird, right?"
Yeah-
So what's you point.........? I can't listen to them and like them because of that?

Pisses me off but I try not to scream at them.

Fuck haterz as long as we like it why the fuck would it matter ya idiotz

cos.... they.... are.... just....too....good.... *squints with envy*

The most common reason my freinds have for hating Queen was Freddie's sexuality. I'm 16 and have become a big Queen fan over the last year. Naturally I have been trying to get my other freinds to listen and appreciate Queen for their music and not hate them for Freddie's homosexuality. This however has become quite a challenge. It sickens me when they call Queen a "gay" band. Of course, they are the ones who are missing out on terrific music and the greatest band in the world (in my opinion). Other people's narrow minds and discrimination only results in their loss, not mine.

Very well said!!!!!!!!:))))) All this gay talking, people hating Freddie (or anyone else) just because he was gay... There's really nothin much to say about it. It's all been said millions of times already.. I'm really sad when I see that, unfortunately, there are many people everywhere in this world who are so narrowminded, so ignorant and stupid.

I can say my friends are great, none are queenfreaks like me, but many of them like Queen, and don't care at all about Freddie being gay. In another words, they are openminded and great folks. I could never be friend with someone who is so ignorant and such a bigot to classify people in any way and hate them just because they are not like everyone else.

When I was younger I was very explosive and always got into trouble.. In my seventh grade one of my classmates said something very offensive about Freddie, I was wearing a Queen t-shirt and he said sth like this: "How can you wear that, that stupid Freddie was a faggot and fags are stupid and, my dad says they should all be killed!!!!" CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THIS?????????
In that moment I really wasn't in a mood for explanations and talking, so I just turned around and broke that asshole's nose. My hand hurted really bad for a few days, and I got some punishments from a headmaster, but it was worth every second of it:)) seeing that little bastard coming to school for a next few weeks with his nose swollen like a potato:))))))) I remember being afraid of my parents' reaction on me kicking that kid, but when my dad heard the whole story, he told me: "WHY DIDN'T YOU KICK HIM IN THE NUTS????? But nose is ok too."

Good for your father! And good for you too... though I usually try to explain in a "softer" way why they were such a great band. Unfortunately, it's useless. My classmates... well, I guess they're so narrowminded they've never heard of Queen, therefore they have noidea Freddie was gay, so I never get annoyed wityh this subject at school.
The thing's different for the older generation. I know somebody who was terriffied that her daughter was going to become lesbian because she was a Queen fan. And that's awfully wrong, I know her very well, she's not lesbian at all.

...well even if she was a lesbian...does it matter?

Wait...wait..what's this?

Elton John is gay?
