Bisexuality
Bohemian Rhapsody
So I wanted to talk about that moment in the movie where Freddy says to Mary "I think I'm a bisexual" because I don't think that Mary was right in correcting him. I also heard a lot of comments about it in the theater and online, saying different things about his sexuality or behavior. I understand that Freddy may not have been well adjusted to his life as a rock star and have been most notably with men rather than women but I don't think that that changes anything.
Personal experience
Now I would like to start talking about my own experience here because I know for damn sure what I am, what I feel, and what I have been told about bisexuality.
At first I come off as real self assured by those who I take interest in, then when they get to know me they learn that I am really just being a flirt and that my confidence is how I try to get their attention. I have often confused my partners because they don't understand the attraction I feel towards other, and I think that it's just because I don't change myself for someone I feel attracted to.
When I am in love I am fun, I am energetic, I am confident and outgoing all because I am fearless in love. When I gain someone's affection it's not enough for me to prove my love once but to continue to prove it so I act gentlemanly, kind, and lighthearted because when I am like that I am easy to love which is all any of us want isn't it?
So given all that, even if I am in love, those traits persist and I cannot turn it off because that becomes who I am. So I get that it is hard to tell when someone like me is really is in love with one gender or another. I believe that I am not alone in being a bisexual who actually just wants to be with one person at a time. It's that love and one person at a time kind of persona that makes it hard for people to tell that I am bisexual. If I was with a man I would seem gay because I would really love him to be with him, and straight if I was with a woman because I would really love her to be with her. Although I have had those moments of weakness that has made my partner doubt my sexuality, because I think its not just thought that I could love a person and have that be that. I think it just became normal to assume that you had an interest in only one gender. So when Mary heard Freddy say bisexual she just knew that he had a more pronounced interest in men because of his affair in Rio as well as feeling it when he was trying to get Bohemian Rhapsody on air. So as far as i'm concerned, I am certain that Freddy was bisexual and not gay.
That's just me, if you think otherwise you are welcome to you're opinions I just needed to put my opinion out there
