Those brooms have swept many a mile of dick.

They're just good friends. The room was cold and they had to share. They were just kidding around. Their girlfriends took the picture. It's not sexual.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 92 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 1 week ago (2 children)

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!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago

Not a bad type to pick tho

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week 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 64 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 69 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

I didn't know until his boyfriend told me.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 53 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 1 week 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.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 week ago (4 children)

these guys clearly had a very specific taste. all of them, apparently.

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 1 week ago (1 children)

He’s having such a good tiiiime

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 19 points 1 week ago

He's having a ball

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 1 week ago (2 children)

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 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Looks like a Royal Air Force after hours pilots party.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

It's not gay if it's underway.

Wait, wrong branch

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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 1 week ago

Ah they must be roommates.

Mustaches peaked in the 80s.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

What nice temporary roommates he has

They were roommates!

Freddie certainly has a type.

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

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

[–] waz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It kind of makes sense. Everyone else there is partying with a rock star while Freddie is just in bed with a group of random guys.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago

Ahhh...yeah, that's a good point.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 1 week ago

What’s Borat doing there?
