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.

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.
