I absolutely laugh at the fact that people say they respect Freddie, but don't thing gay people should have the equal rights as straight people.
It's like saying "I really respect Martin Luther King" but damn "those niggas gotta stay out of our white kids schools"
It's not the same thing, dear jasen101! Martin Luther King fought against racism and, if you respect him, you respect him exactly for his beliefs and activity. Queen didn't fight for gays' rights, the only thing they did was to create, play and record a splendid music (which has nothing to do with homosexuality). If you respect Freddie, then you normally respect him for his music and if you like his music you don't care about his sexuality. So I know many people who don't agree with gays' rights, but they still love Queen's music. I know them personally and I can tell you they respect Queen's musicianship, they love the IWTBF video and admire Freddie's stage performances. I hope one is allowed to be a Queen fan without being gay or being a supporter of gay marriage.
When are all of you (gays, homphobes, Muslims, whatever) gonna understand that art has nothing to do with private life and anyone's sexuality is no reason to hate his music?!
Sure it says homosexuality is an abomination in the bible....but isn't everything fun an abomination in the bible?
And what do you think about respecting other people's religions, eh? We're takling so much in here about gays' rights, what if a Christian or a Jew replies to some posts in here and starts another big fight against some of us? Sure, it's not allowed to hate gays, is it allowed then to hate Christianity?! Please... not all Christians are narrow-minded people, I know some very intelligent Christians. Oh and they love Queen and respect Freddie! Shocking, isn't it? Btw, the Bible it's written with "B", not "bible", it's the title of a book, whether you like it or not.
C'mon pouria. Lighten up a little. As long as theres going to be fine music, art, and film there are going to be gays. That's just the way Allah made it so...So get used to it! "we're here, we're queer....get over it!"
Even when there'll be no fine music, art and film, there will still be gays in the world. Unfortunately... :) Just kidding! I'm not anti-gay. I'm even writing a novel with a gay character, so don't stab me to death, OK? :)
