y’all: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY DOWNPLAYS FREDDIE’S SEXUALITY
the truth: Freddie Mercury was a very private person who didn’t even come out to his band. He was with Jim Hutton for 16 years and the only intimate look into their relationship was through Hutton in his book after Freddie passed away. Freddie never wanted his sexuality or his illness to be the focus, he wanted to make music and perform. Bohemian Rhapsody is the most respectful and yet still truthful retelling of Queen’s story and Freddie would be proud of his legacy. Queer people aren’t just that, they are people. Freddie Mercury wasn’t just a bisexual man with AIDS, he is and always will be so, so, so much more than that.
