People who say bi erasure doesn’t happen need to realize Freddie Mercury is known as the most famous homosexual man when he identified himself as bisexual. If that’s not bi erasure I don’t even know.

Also PoC erasure, most people don’t know he was 100% Indian

centuries of religious art featuring white-skinned blue-eyed Jesus have made that pretty clear

His real name was Farrokh Bulsara. He was born in Zanzibar.

Okay but why is “farrokh bulsara, from Zanzibar ” more inspiring and better sounding than “Freddie mercury from England ”?

Can I add this tidbit I found?

ID: “During a Queen concert in the 70s, a heckler shouted “you fucking poof” [gay slur] to Freddie Mercury during the middle of their set. Freddie responded by ordering the crew to turn the spotlight on hte man, asking him to “Say it again, darling”. The heckler cowered in shame.
