Mercury was a full on hedonist, I have NO doubt he engaged in things with underaged folks of both genders.
Even if the targets of sexual misconduct were adults, misconduct is misconduct.
It’s queer how the mythmaking hero worship of a flawed man is celebrated as being “out there” and grabbing all he wants (sexually). He was “his own man”.
But the flaws of those making the movie about him are considered “controversial”.
Better not try to make bio-pics about David Bowie or Led Zeppelin either...
Respectfully, it is sexes, not genders.
I know a British woman who told me Mercury seduced her female friend in their young adulthood. She is a blunt person not given to hyperbole, so I believe her.
I agree that he was indiscriminately hedonistic.
But then I do not take seriously any of these labels. There is no such thing as a homosexual, since there is no such thing as a functional from of sexuality between two persons of the same sex.
It is excessive hedonism and eroticism.
