Even that shitty Bohemian Rhapsody didn’t seem to realize that Freddie was gay.
I remember liking that movie and it seemed they made no bones about him being bi.
Were you thinking his sexuality should have been the primary focus? Because I think the man would rather be remembered primarily for his music.
The film makes it seem as if he was supposed to be with Mary. The gay relationship we see throughout the film is tied to the partying and drugs (and was made up). His actual relationship with Hutton, who he spent like a full decade of his life with, is relegated to the end.
In the film, we see being gay = partying, drugs, HIV. The man he ended his life with, who he loved, receives far less screen time than the evil fictionalized producer. There was an opportunity to show a real positive and loving gay relationship, and the choice was made to prioritize showing up a made up toxic one.
