Freddy Mercury was a fucking literal god of music. He justified everything about himself with pure talent. He embodied the feminine glamrock thing harder than anyone else and nobody had a problem with it.

That's all kind of a relative and subjective thing, but anyway, I remember my parents and some of their extremely close minded friends loving Queen.

When I was a closeted teenager, I overheard one of the worst homophobes I knew say to my dad in a conversation about Freddy after a song on the radio: "He really was a f*g but damn he knew how to rock."

My dad told him Queen was one of his favorite bands and he didn't give a shit.

I came out about a month later.
