We Are The Champions Lyrics

Why does everyone assume every song Freddie's written is about being gay?!!

As I noted above, same thing happens with Michael Stipe a lot. Mercury, of course, was not gay but bi, as is Stipe. I think there's at least one bisexual musician who people assume is gay, but I can't remember who it is.

@manic4manics That's over simplified. Certainly not "everyone" stated that. There is at least one youtube video wherein a former claimed lover claimed that was his perception of why it was written. Until yesterday (and I have been listening to Queen since I was 12, so about 38 years)-I had NEVER heard that suggestion. I would only trust a meaning articulated by one of the Queen band members or Freddie himself.

@manic4manics People assume that about every Queen song, regardless of whether Freddie wrote it or not.
