Hey guys, I've been a massive Queen fan for almost 3 years now, but my mum, dad and brother still think Queen are some sort of joke, (especially my brother) doesn't realise that they are one of the most influential bands ever...
Any thoughts?

Sorry, but I think it deserves to be in here as well as the personal section.
This post it's okay in this section.
I don't have the same problem as you. I've been practically born with Queen influence through my parents and familly. They all admire Queen so I have no complain. It's a shame your family doesn't like Queen but you musn't give up Dan!

How old is your parents? My dad and my mom were teens when queen was at their heyday. Dad likes classic rock, Mom likes pop, so it kinda augmented when I started my interest, you know what I mean?
My dad can't appriciate I admire a faggot
Hmm, insecurities?
My imediate family is fine with Queen (as a matter of fact my mum and bro are really starting to get into them). However, my cousins tease me, say how there are so many better bands, etc. You learn to put up with it.
My family just find it amusing that most of my favorite bands were around before I was. My mom likes Queen, though, so she doesn't mind too much when I make her listen to them.

Yeah, my mom sort of likes Queen, although I'd really prefer she didn't. I don't know why. My guess is because she's an idiot. But anyway, my dad is very much the typical homophobic American. Basically wondering how I could possibly think that a gay man sings well. Oh, he also seems to be of the opinion that homosexuals are the ONLY people who get AIDS. Yeah, and all of Queen is completely gay, not just Freddie. *Sighs*

I totaly agree with you on this one..but...im in a pretty good mood and dont want to get all on the kids back so...yea my mom is the one that pretty much got me started on Queen. So she was cool with it for the first 4 months and now she just askes if i listen to anything other than Queen...which in no.
Well listen to 50 Cent for one day and see if they appreciate them then...
My family just gets annoyed when I get really obsessive. And for some weird reason, my dad hardly knew about Queen until I started getting interested, and they were from his time! Also, when my mom heard CLTCL, she said, "QUEEN did that? I LOVED that song!" I was surprised about how clueless my parents were about Queen. My mom really appreciates them a lot more now. She really loves '39. The only person that makes me really mad is my sister. She doesn't like Queen, just because I love Queen. It's the same with Rocky Horror. My brother likes Queen, I guess. He has better taste than my sister.
Does that mean, if you like Queen, then you must have good taste?
Well listen to 50 Cent for one day and see if they appreciate them then...I like your style young lady! Here's a nickel, Don't spend it all in one place! ;)
I could buy 1 piece of gum with that. :-)
