Whoa, slow down there, twinkle twinkle little tsar!
On the surface, you are correct; the message is love.
Between the lines, the message is an STD spread through "making" love, or "hooking up" as you crazy kids call it these days.
When the song was released (were you alive?) the relevance was clear; Aids was starting to kill people. It eventually killed Freddie.
Forgive me if I don't believe there's anything romantic about:
"Some sleepless nights in wait for you
Some foreign presence you feel, comes
creeping through
Some stream of hope
The whole world through
Spread like some silent disease
You'll get yours too"
Sounds pretty ominous to me. And the "message" gets taken from partner to partner the world over continuing to "infect" people of both genders.
Did you even read the lyrics?
It's okay, though, soon enough, if you stay in school and study real hard, wisdom will come your way!
