That's a lot of mustache.

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 32 points 10 months ago

Those brooms have swept many a mile of dick.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 57 points 10 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 10 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 10 months ago

Yeah, himself.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

Not a bad type to pick tho

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 8 points 10 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 10 months ago

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

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 10 months ago

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

[-] jagermo@feddit.org 36 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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.

BI-CYCLE

[-] _druid@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

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 10 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 10 months ago

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

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

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

Just fellas being lads

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

7 bros, chilling in the bed, less than 5 feet apart cause...

[-] ElJefe@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago

He’s having such a good tiiiime

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 13 points 10 months ago

He's having a ball

[-] divineslayer@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Ah they must be roommates.

[-] Cirocg@feddit.it 12 points 10 months ago

" I want it all, and i want it now"

[-] fieryhamster@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Looks like a typical Republican convention

[-] sness@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

What was rent like, to need that many roommates?

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 10 months ago

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

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

They were roommates!

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 10 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 10 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.

What nice temporary roommates he has

[-] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Boys will be boys.

[-] missandry351@lemmings.world 6 points 10 months ago

Oh look at that so many best friends in one picture

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Mustaches peaked in the 80s.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

They were just roommates

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Wait, which one is the bottom?

[-] And009@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 10 months ago

Yes

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