we can all be a bunch of bitter nihilistic shits about cartoons if we want sure but marceline and bubblegum kissed on a kids tv show and if i saw that when i was a kid maybe it wouldn’t have taken me so long to realize what i am
People are protesting that we must boycott the film Bohemian Rhapsody because, and I quote, “the trailer erases Mercury’s homosexuality by having him flirt with a woman and whitewashes him!” Which is funny, because these people are basically erasing Freddie Mercury’s bisexuality and his relationship with Mary Austin and whitewashing Rami Malek at the same time in order to back their shitty excuse of an argument.
Now, repeat with me:
Freddie Mercury wasn’t gay, he was bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
Freddie Mercury wasn’t gay, he was
bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
Freddie Mercury wasn’t gay, he was
bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
Freddie Mercury wasn’t gay, he was
bisexual. Rami Malek is Egyptian.
This has been a PSA.
When the first snippet trailer was released there were rumors that they were making Freddie straight and ending the movie before the AIDS crisis.
These rumors turned out to only be based on the fact that neither of those themes were in the 30 second clip.
Since then the trailers clearly show him flirting with men and women and the writers have spoken out to say that part of Freddie’s motivation in the movie is he was recently diagnosed with AIDS. So yeah it’s brought up JUST A LITTLE
But biphobes will hate no matter how much googling you do for them so I guess I’ll just have to HAPPILY go watch this movie 70 consecutive times.

ive said it once and ill say it again but if you live in like . california or another state where lgbt shit is decently accepted please be mindful of the fact that others have it worse than you. Indiana very recently tried to pass laws that allow for same sex couples to be banned from restaurants, in lots of states conversion therapy is still legal, and gay people are still beat for simply existing. think about that please
not to mention in lots of countries its still very much illegal and people are killed for being lgbt
yes this is fine to rb. if u live in a privileged place id appreciate it.
lol “privileged place” like sorry to break it to you but white non-GNC LGBT people being accepted doesn’t actually mean those freedoms or visibility apply to anyone else. white gays walking around in SF and LA doesn’t change all the violence LGBT people of color face nor does it change the ostracization that gender non-conforming people/people of color face.
y’all really lack the ability to approach these convos with any nuance. the whole “uwu this entire state is a progressive haven” is garbage.
Also like? I get yelled at often for using the men’s room even though I live in Good Liberal Massachusetts. A good friend of mine got sent death threats because they’re gay and trans. I have friends who’s parents are Devout Christians and believe their identities are phases or whatever. There’s kids in my school who have actively made jokes about wanting to kill all trans people.
Can we not devalue oppression and violence queer people face just because we live in states that arent “as terrible” as others because the idea that some societies are completely accepting of LGBT identities is beyond false.
