We have some homosexual friends who are “a couple”. Never in your face and we oftemn have some good conversations (both are Trump supporters to boot).
When “Bohemian Rhapsody” made its splash, one of them asked me why I thought “they” decided to push Queen as hard as they did and glorify it so much...I gave him my “John Prine” smile (from the lyrics, “Well, a question ain’t really a question If you know the answer too....” from the song “Far From Me”) and he grinned and said, “Exactly - if Freddie wasn’t so blatantly Gay, they would have picked someone else as the greatest band ever.”
I must disagree. Freddie’s musical talent and that of the other members of Queen made them one of the two greatest bands ever, the other being Led Zeppelin.
