Brian telling Adam that he thinks Freddie wrote In The Lap of the Gods about being closeted is wonderful for several reasons, two of them being:
1) It hammers home the fact that Brian cares so much about Freddie’s sexuality that he’s willing to consider the subtext of his songs to this day, and
2) It hints at it being important for Brian that their current gay lead singer can identify with Freddie’s experiences and lyrics, even though they never met and they are of different generations.
