People going hysterical over freddie mercury's 80th birthday and the associated release of the song book. Maybe it is me being grumpy, but if he was alive probably most queers would be complaining endlessly about boomers and gay or cis privilege etc. Sometimes i think the only way to not be criticized these days is to be in the same place as freddie mercury (the past). He never outed himself. I think ppl nowadays would not forgive that. For me the world was easier when he was around (maybe because i was barely starting adulting) and back then you could inspire by megatons without outing yourself. Fun fact. Actually some people can still inspire megatons without outing themselves nowadays. You just have to do or say meaningfull things, or, imagine, just be kind. #queer #gay
