In America, people are constantly making fun of Queen, and looking down on Queen because of Freddie's homosexuality. I was wathcing Vh1 today, and there was a shoe about celebrities coming out of the closet. While this show was on, they began to play Queen songs. It isn't that that was offencive or anything, but they just need to lay off!!!! Do any of you agree?

Wasn't there just a thread about this? I agree, though, it does suck, but you can't argue with all of the idiots in the world. People do need to get over it, it's pathetic that the very issue, among other things, lost Kerry the election, really. The US is doing a wonderful job earning its(our) reputation as the most homophobic contry in the world, but you know what? They can listen to their shite music all they like and we can be the priviledged few that love Queen. Their loss. I know there are other American Queen fans here, so it's not all of us.....

I agree. I mean, the facts speak for themselves; in all 11 states where gay marriage was on the ballot in this year's election it was banned. It's really sad. The US has always been behind in abandoning prejudices, just look how long it took to fully end racism in the gov't.
I've got nothing more to add than "I agree".
LOOKBEYOND! did you actually get a free ipod.
"America sucks..."
I dunno, I think it's the military-industrial complex that sucks. Or blows. And all that entails. Anyway, President Eisenhower warned us about it in his farewell address January 1961. The result: laissez-faire morality and political correctness create a society driven by alternating cycles of amusement and consumption, driven by scapegoating behavior (read: racial prejudice, homphobia, etc), energized by sexual aggression. Basic capitalism.
I'm so glad I can pop in a Queen cd, light another "cigarette", and let myself go...

I think the US is just a slowly evolving culture. A Kurt Cobain quote might fit: "The world is run by dinosaurs. They will die, and we will move into their houses."
Well.. I won't put up too much of a fuss on that.. I agree that most of America is for shit.. but there are a few of us around that don't deserve to be put in the same pot..
I'm with MegaMan. ;)

not yet, I still need 2 more referrals to sign up, but my friend did. It's not a scam, CNN did a thing on it....if you interested email me [email protected] or just click the link.
Americans and MTV are hypocrites. I don't want to hear the times change crap! Freddie and the lads get cast out for dressing in drag while my fellow Americans enjoyed watching Madonna and the skank Britney lesbo lip lock! Queen rock!
A lot of ignorant dinosaurs still see male homosexuality as a threat. They're blinded by their (wrong)-wing hate filled dogma. We're a slowly evolving species, and unfortuately, have to be patient while these people catch up.
Don't count me in, you damn bastards. ;-)
Some, but not all. Please.

That's America for you.
Queen are known as stupid British fags.
Especially in the rock world that just burts with testosterone.
Cheers

*sigh* way to generalize folks!! Please don't lump all Americans into one group. It's not appreciated
