        No he was gay. I knew him as gay for the longest time and then years later he choose to be straight. I didn’t know you could do that, but he does apparently.

        Oh sigh, I didn’t catch it first go round because I didn’t really care that much but I knew so many human beings who came out as “bisexual” first me included because being gay all the way would have been too risque. I was watching…I think it was Clerks. Yeah, for sure it was Clerks. And 1/2 the jokes in there were homophobic. And the reason why I say this was because at the time to be gay was to be deformed, perverse, you were a broken hell-destined human being. At least if you had one leg in the door you’d be okay. But at the end of the day idk? I am not Freddie Mercury. I wasn’t raised in any which white way and I for sure did not listen to Queen or the Beatles until I was an adult. I have zero skin in the game and I don’t really care to speculate about dead celebrities, let alone celebrities on any large or real scale. But I will say that there was a ton of things that people had to go through back in the day that I think people had to hide or overcome through non-traditional pathways that would be less of an issue nowadays. Although it still is to some point, and I’d say it’s probably a ripple effect of culture x toxic-masculinity.
