  May’s actual thesis was called “A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud.”

    Which, honestly, sounds like the name of a prog metal album so he isn’t straying far

    My professor mentioned it in the observational astronomy class I took in college. For anyone wondering, zodiacal dust is the stuff left over from the protoplanetary disc that didn’t become a planet. Any observations made along the plane of the solar system is looking through that dust and astronomers need to account for it in various ways.

  Probed on whether Queen would be able to win a BRIT gong in 2021, he was reported to have responded:

  “We would be forced to have people of different colours and different sexes and we would have to have a trans [person]. You know life doesn’t have to be like that. We can be separate and different.”

  Apparently he was ‘ambushed’ and ‘stitched up’ and his words were ‘subtly twisted’ but he never stated what his original words were, if they were different from the quote. I’m not usually a fan of people who use terms like “a trans” or who lament “cancel culture” because gendered categories are removed from awards ceremonies.

    Considering that he’s been in bands with several prolific gay men, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here. People say dumb stuff all the time and the online brain rot can be real, but I don’t think this one isn’t an ally.

      Fair call mate, he might be your ally but sadly he’s not mine. I’m not sure if you’re LGBTQIA+, but if you’ve spent time in the community you’ll know that not even all of those who identify as queer or non-cis support one another. To the best of my knowledge May doesn’t openly identify as queer himself, and thinking that he’s an ally just because he’s been friends with gay and/or bi men isn’t necessarily the best indicator that he’s an ally to all peoples. Personally, I feel like that argument is pretty similar to “I can’t be racist because I have a ____ friend”.

      A post that incidentally showed up just above this one in my feed showing that gay people are not necessarily allies to all queer people:

      And just because someone is friends with a gay person is even less reason to suggest they are necessarily queer-inclusive.
