    Erasure. A bi eraser is the one with a different colour on each end.

    He could have been hetero-romantic, and sexually gay. Or it’s also possible that she was the only woman he loved.

    Sexuality is weird. Anything goes. People get crazy about it when they try to control it. It’s sex. It’s uncontrollable. Just get out of the way of it, and everyone will be a lot happier.

      I don’t know much about Freddy Mercury (or even sexuality), but couldn’t it also be possible that he STRONGLY admired her, just not in a sexual or romantic way?

      Like, could he be saying something like “if I were into women, I would have married you in a heartbeat”?

        He really, absolutely loved her, and he did love her profoundly back. After this, it gets complicated. Maybe she couldn’t bear knowing he was having sex relationships with men. Maybe the issue was the AIDS wave from one or both of their perspectives; Freddy wouldn’t risk her or she wouldn’t risk herself. Maybe she demanded monogamy and he couldn’t give her that. Its complicated.

        …rrriiiggghhhttt, cause that’s something that someone who’s not even a little bit bi in any way would say, okay…

    Actually, he was Zoroastrian.

    source
    • zarathustrad@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Well, too bad his people thought he was a “vaēpiia”, but that actually means sorcerer poet, not a derogatory term for sodomite. Maybe things could have been different, if only the “traditional” religious interpreters actually listened to the prophet, and not the closed minded folks that came after.

      He was an inspired, frenzied poet, one whose emotions, feelings, and poetry resonate with a vibration, swinging rhythm, and frenzy, after all.

      source
  • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Ok…but what made things different? I’m confused on the context.

    Also, I’m sure bisexuality would have been considered obscene in the 80s, but today it’s so natural that I don’t think anyone would be offended that he was bi.

    source
    • bearoftheisle@europe.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Oh there are plenty of people offended that bi people exist. Some of them being plain old homophobes (“bi people are just as bad”), some of them being lgbt+ people who think bi people are just indecisive and can’t choose a side/are traitors to the rest of the lgbt+ community (as ridiculous as it sounds).

        That’s are minorities or even majorities where hypocrisy is what they prefer. Its downright stupid how inclusiveness is advertised, yet moral gate keeping is what occurs.

      Are you thinking of the 1880’s???

      source
      • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        In the 1990s, ellen degeneres had a hit sitcom on ABC. Then she came out as gay. Pepsi, among other advertisers threatened to pull all advertising from ABC.

        So ABC cancelled a show with decent ratings purely because she was gay.

        Now, today we know that ellen is a piece of shit for OTHER reasons, but that wasn’t known in 1996. This was a move based purely on Pepsi and others not wanting to be assosiated with a gay person on their tv.

        Now for the kicker. Ellen had some support, but it was not a majority. The majority of people at that time celebrated ellen getting removed from tv.

        If that happened today? A beloved tv star being removed from tv because they were gay? I think it would have even bigger backlash than CBS is facing right now over Colbert, and 60 Minutes. Back then? America gave the thumbs up.

        Ironically enough, I think being bi would have been MORE accepted in the 1880s.

    That reads to me more like “if I was attracted to women, you would be my wife”

    • SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Could it be “if I wasn’t dying and writing this will, we would have gotten married and lived happily ever after”?

      • Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Especially with AIDS in those days when it was a death sentence and there was no PrEP for partners

        source
      • Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Could be, although you can get married pretty quickly if you’re not worried about a big wedding etc.

    This may be true, but a shitposting community is not the right audience for discourse; hence a lot of these comments being a bit yikes

    Yeah the "mate" in "soulmate" refers to a checkmate, as in chess.

    source
    • Siegfried@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      And the “soul” part refers to the music genre. “soulmate” is when you win a soul competition.
