wath do you think about Freddie Mercury?

Question

Do You think that he is gay?

Answer 1

He is dead and he was gay.

Mercury died from complications of AIDS, greatly increasing public awareness of the disease.

Although he had a very close girlfriend named Mary Austin for many years, Freddie Mercury had always been fairly open about his sexuality. In a March 12, 1974 interview for New Musical Express, he told the interviewer: 'I am as gay as a daffodil, my dear!'[19] Beginning in the mid 1970s, Mercury began a series of affairs with men, which ultimately resulted in the end of his relationship with Austin.[20] However, the two remained close friends through the years, and Mercury often referred to Austin as his only true friend.[21] In a 1985 interview, Mercury said of Austin, "All my lovers asked me why they couldn't replace Mary (Austin), but it's simply impossible. The only friend I've got is Mary, and I don't want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other, that's enough for me. I couldn't fall in love with a man the same way as I have with Mary."[22]

In 1983, Mercury found a new lover named Jim Hutton. Hutton lived with Mercury for the last six years of his life, cared for him when he was ill, and was at his bedside when he died.[23] According to Hutton, Mercury referred to him as his husband, and died wearing a wedding band that Hutton had given him.[24]
