The LGBT community is not having Trump’s use of  Queen’s ‘We Are the Champions’

Trump’s use of the queer anthem “We Are the Champions"—which followed Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Monday—has enraged fans and the LGBT community. And Queen’s surviving members aren’t happy either. 

The band has opposed Trump using the track, which was penned and performed by out-queer icon Freddie Mercury, since he adopted it as a theme song in June. Here’s how guitarist Brian May and current vocalist Adam Lambert are speaking out.

Great and all, but really wish people weren’t erasing the part where Freddie wasn’t gay. He was bisexual. http://www.queenarchives.com/index.php?title=Freddie_Mercury_-_11-25-1991_-_The_Star_-_AIDS_Kills_The_King_of_Rock

Also … not only was Freddie Mercury bisexual, but he was also a man of color. He was also an immigrant. So. Double oops.

A bi, Indian Parsi, Zoroastrian immigrant who died of HIV. A man killed by the epidemic Reagan and Thatcher were complicit in. No homophobe should get to enjoy his music, let alone use if for the promotion of their platform.

Thank you for bring up that he was bi cause that was really pissing me off

I hope queen sues the Republican party
