Brian May is Incredibly protective of how Mercury is portrayed, IMO much to the detriment of what the man truly represented and was. Like yes, he was a rock god but he was also a deeply troubled man who struggled with his identity and sexuality for decades much due to the work of people hiding queer icons behind rose-colored glasses as May has done.
Not just Mercury's story. All those times the movie had Mercury spiraling into sex and drugs and the movie versions of May and the rest of the group were cuddling with their wives and girlfriends. You know, the way they were famous for doing.
Exactly! Like we would want a rosey Queen. No, we have heard 'tie your mother down', we liked the band because of it!
