I graduated high school in 99.

There was a student at our school named Wayne.

Wayne was gay. It was obvious. He was unable to stay in the closet even if he wanted to. To make matters worse, he was also Black. From a bullying standpoint, that was not a great combo. Both Black and white students made fun of him relentlessly. He was ostracized from the only community that may have given him protection. Only us theater kids stuck up for him, but not to significant effect.

Wayne was bullied so much that at one point he finally snapped and attacked his bullies with a lunch tray. I was actually seated in perfect line of sight and just sat there chewing my soggy fries in stunned silence. It didn't even seem real as I was witnessing it. The image of him wailing on his main bully as the food on his tray flew off is permanently logged into my long term memory.

The bully he attacked had blood all over his face and went straight to the nurse. Other than superficial cuts, he was not injured.

Before the attack, Wayne went to teachers for help. He went to guidance counselors for help. He went to the principals for help.

He did all of the things you were supposed to do. No one helped him. They wagged a finger at the bullies and warned them to stop.

Wayne's lunch tray melee was the only thing that worked. His bullies stayed far away from him. But a week later Wayne was expelled and the bullies were given no punishment.

So... no.

No one in my school talked about being trans.

Because the only way to survive being openly queer was to bash people with a lunch tray.

“I met the amazing Freddie and the band in the lift of the hotel they were staying at in Melbourne during their concert. My then husband and I stayed at the hotel for the entire time Queen was there and had tickets to every concert they performed in Melbourne. My husband at the time was 6'7 tall and a very good looking, charismatic person. People noticed him and Freddie turned to him as we were huddled in the lift and said ‘my, aren’t you a strapping lad’? We all laughed. My ex who was Queen obsessed said 'Freddie, we’re going to all of your concerts here in Melbourne’ and Freddie told the guy looking after the band to invite us to the after concert get together. So both of us arrived and had the most amazing time talking with Freddie, Brian, Roger, John and Spike. We even had drinks with them in the cocktail bar of the Regency Hotel another night. Unfortunately my ex got the photo’s of us all in the financial settlement lol. I think Freddie was quite taken with my ex-husband’s physical looks plus he was a really funny guy who had the guys laughing a lot. It was singularly one of the most wonderful things to happen in our lives. Living it up with Queen at Rockman’s Regency Hotel, now another hotel chain runs the site. The entire thing cost us a fortune staying there for 5 nights in 1985 but you couldn’t put a price on the experience.“ - PinkCherry Blossom’s comment on this video

Elton John on Freddie Mercury.

(I’m posting this less to correct the timeline portrayed in Bohemian Rhapsody, which I mostly really enjoyed, than simply to share a beautiful story that shines light on who Freddie actually was, up to the very end, via twitter.)
