After Mercury and Austin broke up, it was out in the open that Freddie was gay. He always shot down reporters when they would ask him questions about it, especially when they asked him what it’s like “being bent”? That didn’t go over too well.

Even his flamboyant stage performances led to people alluding his sexuality. He wasn’t afraid to publically express who he was as a person and didn’t really ally himself with any causes such as LGBT. He just wanted a personal life that got out of hand too much.
