I mean Rob Halford came out, and nobody cared, and Metal fans tend to be the most hetero-normative people on the planet. As long as he just shut up and sang, it’s all good.
They might have been more concerned Sasha would be more accurate in the portrayal of Freddie as a jerk..which supposedly he was.
there is a line in Rocketman where Elton says he started being a c##t in 1975 and forgot to stop. David Furnish says he is a monster in the movie. And he was in real life.
Queen probably didn’t want that kind of stuff being shown about Freddie.
