They would not, however, allow for his bisexuality - even though they embraced and promoted Mary Austin (Mercury's longtime girlfriend) as his one true love! All their efforts to preserve Freddie in memory as, effectively, a straight man who was in love with one woman - his soulmate Mary - but who was "corrupted" by factions of the music industry (and wasn't really gay) are ridiculous to me, he was clearly bisexual.
about the topic of Mercury's sexuality: It is still fascinating to me, after all these years, that Queen's management spent decades trying to convince the world that Freddie was heterosexual while he was alive, but then conceded to his homosexuality after he had died. Lesley-Ann Jones, the author of two biographies on Freddie Mercury, spoke with Them. In 1985, he began a relationship with hairdresser Jim Hutton that lasted until Mercury's death from bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS. Mercury wrote numerous hits for Queen, including "Killer Queen," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Somebody to Love," "We Are the Champions," "Don't Stop Me Now," and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." He became well known not only for his stellar voice but also for his charismatic stage presence. In 1970, he formed the group, Queen, with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. In other words, many people can be proud to call Freddie Mercury one of their own. Mercury was ethnically Parsi, part of the Zoroastrian religious community whose ancestors fled from Persia to India to avoid persecution following the Muslim conquest of Persia over a thousand years ago. At age 17, he fled with his family from the racial violence that marked the Zanzibar Revolution and settled permanently in the United Kingdom. Mercury was born in Zanzibar, spent most of his childhood in India, then moved back to Zanzibar. Mercury defied the conventions of a rock frontman with his highly theatrical style influencing the artistic direction of Queen. The late Freddie Mercury was as gay and I cannot believe that anyone would ever think him bi or straight at all. Regarded as one of the greatest lead singers in the history of rock music, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara) was the lead vocalist and songwriter of the rock band Queen. Freddie Mercury would be best described as a bisexual even though in the latter stages of his life, he openly identified as being gay and was mainly got.
