Freddie Mercury wasn’t gay, Brian. He had a moustache which is practically like a wedding ring.
🇧🇷🇧🇷 Brazil mentioned 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Freddie Mercury was gay? always the ones you never suspect.
There was a lot of prejudice against him
I’m kinda confused by the response. Is it saying that Queen performing for live aid was political because of Freddie being gay and an immigrant? A person’s sexuality isn’t political, nor is raising money for charity (for the vast majority of charities at least), and neither is their residential status.
“He daaaaaaaaaayeeeed of Aaaaaaaaaidsss!”
I was watching Live Aid the other day. Funnily enough, someone was waving a big Palestinian flag down near the front. Plus ca change…
That tweet makes me laugh when I see it because the other correct response is “Mate Paul Weller being anywhere makes it political” man has a song that has the lyrics of ” the public enemies Number 10″
Difference is his sexuality was not 100% of his personality like the ilk of today
If Ethiopia has caused their own famine by attacking a neighbouring nation and raping and killing 1000 innocents and not releasing hostages then they too may have been looked at differently.
People are hateful, bigoted, racist, homophobic, anti-immigrant, etc … until they’re entertained by one and then coincidentally they’re fine ignoring it or accepting that person as “one of the good ones.”
That’s it all about the immigrants…what about the other 75% doing the same?
I think the original post was being sarcastic.
Aaand then all the money went to the Ethiopian military, who used it to finance a massive assault against neighbouring Eritrea
Legend- back then you would have to dig deep to know of his past. Back then nobody cared, simply an Icon.
Couldn’t the argument be made that Mercury did more for the gay/immigrant community by not needing special flag recognition?
Im serious here. Maybe its better to be recognized as talented and hardworking first before announcing sexual preferences or immigration status. The original poster might not have ever given Queen a chance if Freddy made his career by virtue signaling instead of displaying his raw musical talent. Just imagine how much more successful Christianity would be if we find out that the kind and generous people we know were Christians after the fact, instead of Christians introducing themselves through proselytizing

What the….he was gay!!
… that was in response to a Communist atrocity in Africa, the dictator in charge of which pocketed the majority of the funds 🙄
be different if he was starting out today…its a different world.
Yeah, and 95% of the money being used to buy weapons for the warlords who were keeping the people in starvation. What a wonderful time to be alive, if you’re lucky enough.
I initially thought the x account was for a really bad version of Real Madrid possibly Fareham’s 4 best Sunday league team

A gay immigrant with aids.
‘No political flags or lectures’
‘But he’s gay’… what?
