Those brooms have swept many a mile of dick.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 57 points 2 months ago

Okay, can we just sit back and recognize the beauty in that?

Like, if you're into guys, that's a god damn beefcake buffet right there. Freddie was pulling some damn fine tail

[-] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago

I mean, he was Freddie fucking Mercury after all. That is like saying Keith Richards has slept with a few groupies and took some drugs

I love that every single one of them had a mustache. Freddy had a type!

[-] rowrowrowyourboat@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 months ago
[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

Not a bad type to pick tho

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Everyone had a mustache in the 70's and part of the 80's. Also, most gay men had them at this time as well. He would have to have REALLY looked for no stach men.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

I'm as gay as the next fella but that must have been some horrific smelling good times.

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Minus the aids epidemic, it must have been great.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 27 points 2 months ago

TIL I can't tell the difference between a dozen Freddie Mercurys and a dozen Tom Sellecks.

And there were people surprised to find out he was gay.

[-] Whateley@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago

Freddy was bi. He wrote "Love of my Life" about Mary Austin.

[-] jagermo@feddit.org 36 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think its more complicated. I think he truly loved Mary - but not in a sexual way, more as a confidante and partner.

She told him that he is gay, not bisexual.

It wasn't until 1976 that Freddie told his fiancé he thought he was bisexual. Mary later said: “I’ll never forget that moment. I remember saying to him, ‘No Freddie, I don’t think you are bisexual. I think you are gay’.”

I don't even understand how anyone makes it out of the closet... getting past youfself to be honest with yourself is very hard.

He loved riding his bike. I've never done it, though. I think I've always been bike curious.

I love the "Sappho and her friend" vibes from the title of this.

Also, Freddie RIP King -- Queen 🫡!

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Unlike Michael Jackson, who has unfortunately been questionable in character, Freddie has consistently been a good person to my knowledge. He deserves to be a legend along with others.

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Just some bros hanging out like bros do. Nothing suspicious here.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Ladies, line up - I heard they're all somehow single too!

He’s having such a good tiiiime

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 13 points 2 months ago

He's having a ball

[-] divineslayer@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Ah they must be roommates.

[-] fieryhamster@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Looks like a typical Republican convention

Looks like a Royal Air Force after hours pilots party.

What was rent like, to need that many roommates?

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 months ago

And they could only afford one bed, the shame, people shouldn't be treated like this.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago

They were roommates!

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Like he's wearing nothing at all.... Nothing at all... Nothing at all....!

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 months ago

Is it just me, or does Freddie look like the least thrilled one there?

I can only imagine the rationalizations folks came up with for this back in the day. That's like saying Liberace wasn't gay.

[-] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

I still can't figure out why anyone cares. Liberace had batshit insane skills. None of the stuff he played was anywhere close to what I like, but every time he came on tv back in the day, I was glued to it. Why the fuck does anyone care who he loves ? For those that have never seen the man play, enjoy.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Man, my one grandmother loved Liberace.

And you're right, dude was a genius on the keys. Brilliant performer.

It isn't like nobody knew he was gay. But his fans did not give a shit, including my grandmother who was actually a bit of a bigot about that. Not venomous or anything, but definitely not approving, and prone to prejudice. But he was never anything but an idol to her, even with her believing he was gay.

That's how good a performer he was.

What nice temporary roommates he has

[-] missandry351@lemmings.world 6 points 2 months ago

Oh look at that so many best friends in one picture

[-] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Boys will be boys.

[-] MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Bro the heater was broken we were just conserving heat. Our socks were still on so it's not gay.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

They were just roommates

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

The era of the mustache was the greatest era in human history.
