Freddie Mercury, perhaps one of the most ......... famous fags of the seventies............

No thanks. Nothing about him is worthy of note.

Also, should not this be in chat?

Thanks for posting. At the time (1980’s), I was more into blues and rock and roll. But last weekend I was finally able to watch the entire movie Bohemian Rhapsody and it was very good. THe sound track was great. I didn’t realize how many songs that I loved were done by them. Then I had to read about Freddie Mercury - what a talent, interesting background and sad ending. I appreciate reading more about him and his family.

In the 7th century A.D., Freddie's original motherland, Persia, the present-day Iran, the cradle of civilization, the land of Cyrus the Great, the first author of the Human Rights Charter — was ravaged by Muslim hordes.

It was, but the Parsis have lived in India for over one thousand years - that's almost 500 years before Columbus sailed to the new world, and right around the same time that William the Conqueror led the Norman invasion of England. At this point, you'd have to say the Norman descendants of William are as ethnically English as the descendants of the Saxons, and you'd have to say that Parsis like Mercury are as ethnically Indian as Mahatma Gandhi.

There is something about some folks who are exceptionally creative in the arts. So many of the best of them had personal lives with personal problems on average that were disproportionately greater than the percentage of such problems in the general population. It is almost as if extreme creativity & a commitment to using it and stable personal life often take divergent paths. I doubt if anyone knows why.

But doesn’t zoroastrianism regard homosexuality as an unforgivable sin?
