Bohemian Rhapsody

This film was scrutinised by people from the trailer. People said that it didn’t show the bisexual Parsi performer everyone loves. As someone who just walked out of the theatre from seeing it, the film made it abundantly clear he wasn’t straight and wasn’t white.

People pointed to the fact Mary Austin was in the trailer and so it was only showing him as straight but he loved Mary. He loved her so much. Read anything about their relationship and you will see that he loved her with a deep, deep love. This doesn’t detract from his relationships with people like Jim Hutton, but we need to remember he was bi, not gay, bi.

There were also some people that questioned if the fact he was a person of colour comes up. Yes, yes it is made very clear that he is a person of colour in the film. There is even some of the racist slurs he was thrown.

No one should walk away from this film thinking he was straight or white.
