He was also made of pure awesome

But he was still gay lol though in this day and age I don't think it matters.
RE: Another One Bites The Dust! - PinkRobot - 10-01-2010
I don't think it even mattered back then. I'm also on the "Queen/Freddie Mercury equals awesomeness" train, used to be a huge fan.

Hey. The thread is now not about using a re-make of Queen's song to create a fun map but about moustaches of the gay. What the fish?

I read somewhere that word 'gay' meant 'happy' or 'jealous' some time ago. Just recently people on YouTube started using this word as if 'you are gay' meant 'you suck' instead of 'you're a jealous guy'. Wrong
I'am into bringing back the old meaning!

And this also even has a specific term: homophobia.
RE: Another One Bites The Dust! - kuniu the frogg - 10-03-2010
i wouldn't call it a "phobia". It's like, when you
say, for example "stupid like a cow", does it mean you must be cow-a-phobic? People sometimes say or write stupid things, that's obvious. But in most cases, no "phobia" involved. No offence to anyone, but in my opinion "homophobia" as a term is slightly overused nowadays.
please some mercifull moderator, move most of those posts to offtopic or anywhere, or just delete them

I can change the topic to "Another One Bites The Rainbow"...
RE: Another One Bites The Dust! - Rage_ATWM - 10-03-2010
"homophobia: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals".
Exact same definition in french and spanish.

say, for example "stupid like a cow", does it mean you must be cow-a-phobic?
But concerning homophobia, there is a "phobia": we talk about fear because homosexuality challenges the sexuality of homophobic people.
And I agree on one point: we are definitely off-topic.
RE: Freddie Mercury was gay - Mr. Bougo - 10-03-2010
"Gay" is not exactly a homophobic word, it all depends on context; sometimes it is in fact a very gay-friendly word.
And while many would say calling something "gay" as a negative quality is often done without anything directly homophobic in mind, the fact is that it does banalize the use of the word as an insult, which is just another way to make the kids think it's okay to associate homosexuality and bad things.
No direct homophobic intent, but it certainly does not help tolerance at all.
RE: Freddie Mercury was gay - kuniu the frogg - 10-03-2010
phobia shouldn't be the same as discrimination, fear is fear, dicrimination is discrimination. But i know that sometimes (usually?) fear is somehow connected with discrimination. Maybe i just look at it from strict medical point of view too much... If that's official definition, then i must live with it.

woaw, I would have never bet on a thread named "Freddie Mercury was gay" on Xono forum...

You've wrote a great thing
I totally agree.Sometimes I can't resist felling that some people around the internet know only two phrases, and use them to describe whatever they encounter in the world:
"awesome" / "fukcing awesome" and "lol this sux" / "this is gay".
Sad.
I have no hate or love for man being sexually attracted by other man. I just haven't met any. And from what I hear - some of them (like Freddy Mercury) are great people, some of them much better than those who pick on them and are agressive to those people.
Another approach is what Bible says on this matter. IIRC there is written something that means a bad thing: those men who take part in sexual act with other man like with women do a very ugly thing and should be killed. I'am not sure if all the law (which contains that rule) was rejected by Christ, and only one thing that decides now is people's faith in Jesus. I don't know... I'd love it to be so, gotta read Bible to find out
By the way: Freddie Mercury wasn't exactly gay. He was bisexual. He have had affairs with both woman and man. And how could he be so sexy on stage if he wasn't attracted by woman?

Wtf, thread split? i guess i deserve this....
Btw: Gay is a philosophy. It means a pro-life attitude, acceptance of every individual and free love (free like in open-source). i was just stating the obvious!
i expected one or 2 witty remarks, but didn't intend a thread-split.
(And i love his Super-Mario-moustache!)

What, i thought it was quite obvious: the cute names, the open-mindedness.... and even the girls have suspiciously strong hands....
