If you didn't know Elton John, Freddie Mercury, and David Bowie were homos you just weren't paying attention. Reminds me of the old ladies who just couldn't believe Liberace was light in the loafers.
I wasn't paying attention, hell I didn't even know what any of those people looked like aside from movies, or album covers. Never listened to the music of Queen, never even thought about the meaning of the groups name.
What! Liberace? Your kidding.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!!
You're telling me Liberace was gay!?!?
You're talking about some other guy with the same name, right?
