Annoting that Freddie Mercury never really confirmed being bisexual, but was notoriously dating men and women.
He loved his fiancée Mary Austin and wrote her the song Love of My Life Queen - Love Of My Life (Official Video) (youtube.com) and finished his life romantically involved with his hairdresser Jim Hutton, that he would often call his husband.
Okay so I'm back for Pride Month with this Queen song from 1978, written by Freddie Mercury echoing his Bisexuality!

[ID: Screenshots of two tweets. The first one is by Dolly Parton and it says "I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song #Jolene. I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it's really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I'm honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @LilNasX". The second tweet is Lil Nas X responding to the Dolly Parton tweet by simply saying "HOLY SHIT" in all caps. End of ID.]
