Those brooms have swept many a mile of dick.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 89 points 3 months ago

Okay, can we just sit back and recognize the beauty in that?

Like, if you're into guys, that's a god damn beefcake buffet right there. Freddie was pulling some damn fine tail

[-] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 months ago

I mean, he was Freddie fucking Mercury after all. That is like saying Keith Richards has slept with a few groupies and took some drugs

I love that every single one of them had a mustache. Freddy had a type!

[-] rowrowrowyourboat@sh.itjust.works 76 points 3 months ago
[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 18 points 3 months ago

Not a bad type to pick tho

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Everyone had a mustache in the 70's and part of the 80's. Also, most gay men had them at this time as well. He would have to have REALLY looked for no stach men.

And there were people surprised to find out he was gay.

[-] Whateley@lemm.ee 65 points 3 months ago

Freddy was bi. He wrote "Love of my Life" about Mary Austin.

[-] jagermo@feddit.org 67 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think its more complicated. I think he truly loved Mary - but not in a sexual way, more as a confidante and partner.

She told him that he is gay, not bisexual.

It wasn't until 1976 that Freddie told his fiancé he thought he was bisexual. Mary later said: “I’ll never forget that moment. I remember saying to him, ‘No Freddie, I don’t think you are bisexual. I think you are gay’.”

I don't even understand how anyone makes it out of the closet... getting past youfself to be honest with yourself is very hard.

He loved riding his bike. I've never done it, though. I think I've always been bike curious.

I didn't know until his boyfriend told me.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 51 points 3 months ago

TIL I can't tell the difference between a dozen Freddie Mercurys and a dozen Tom Sellecks.

I love the "Sappho and her friend" vibes from the title of this.

Also, Freddie RIP King -- Queen 🫡!

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Unlike Michael Jackson, who has unfortunately been questionable in character, Freddie has consistently been a good person to my knowledge. He deserves to be a legend along with others.

[-] fieryhamster@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

Looks like a typical Republican convention

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

I'm as gay as the next fella but that must have been some horrific smelling good times.

7 bros, chilling in the bed, less than 5 feet apart cause...

[-] ElJefe@lemm.ee 24 points 3 months ago

He’s having such a good tiiiime

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 18 points 3 months ago

He's having a ball

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 21 points 3 months ago

I can only imagine the rationalizations folks came up with for this back in the day. That's like saying Liberace wasn't gay.

[-] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 months ago

I still can't figure out why anyone cares. Liberace had batshit insane skills. None of the stuff he played was anywhere close to what I like, but every time he came on tv back in the day, I was glued to it. Why the fuck does anyone care who he loves ? For those that have never seen the man play, enjoy.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Man, my one grandmother loved Liberace.

And you're right, dude was a genius on the keys. Brilliant performer.

It isn't like nobody knew he was gay. But his fans did not give a shit, including my grandmother who was actually a bit of a bigot about that. Not venomous or anything, but definitely not approving, and prone to prejudice. But he was never anything but an idol to her, even with her believing he was gay.

That's how good a performer he was.

Ah they must be roommates.

[-] Cirocg@feddit.it 12 points 3 months ago

" I want it all, and i want it now"

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

What nice temporary roommates he has

[-] sness@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

What was rent like, to need that many roommates?

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 3 months ago

And they could only afford one bed, the shame, people shouldn't be treated like this.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 months ago

They were roommates!

[-] xpinchx@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Freddie certainly has a type.

[-] libra00@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Nah, that was just the 70s, man, everybody had that 'stache. Hell, my dad had that 'stache.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 3 months ago

What’s Borat doing there?

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

That’s hot

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

What the hell are they all doing in there...?

[-] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

80s moustache cuddle puddle.

[-] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Fulfilling the gay agenda.

[-] missandry351@lemmings.world 6 points 3 months ago

Oh look at that so many best friends in one picture
