That's a lot of mustache.

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 49 points 2 years ago

Those brooms have swept many a mile of dick.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 93 points 2 years 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 years 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 79 points 2 years ago

Yeah, himself.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

Not a bad type to pick tho

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] Whateley@lemm.ee 65 points 2 years ago

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

[-] jagermo@feddit.org 69 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

I didn't know until his boyfriend told me.

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 53 points 2 years ago

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

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

Also, Freddie RIP King -- Queen 🫡!

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years 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.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

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

Looks like a typical Republican convention

[-] ElJefe@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago

He’s having such a good tiiiime

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 19 points 2 years ago

He's having a ball

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 21 points 2 years ago

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 30 points 2 years 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 8 points 2 years 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.

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

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

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

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

Ah they must be roommates.

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I was going to ask if everyone had one in those days or if mercury just had a type. I want one but I feel I can’t pull it off till im older and more grey

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

They were just roommates

Mustaches peaked in the 80s.

What was rent like, to need that many roommates?

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 2 years ago

What’s Borat doing there?

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

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