This wont change my views on him or anything, because i think he is a fantastic artist, but its just been a question that has puzzled me.
thankyou for all your answers :)

but he had a girlfriend (Mary Austin) and he claims that their relationship was like a marriage and the song 'Love of my life' was written about her.
 
He was gay. He openly admitted this the day before he died. I agree though he was amazing.
 
He had relationships with women and men up until a few years before he died when men played a bigger part in his life. He had meaningful relationships with both though, he identified himself as bisexual.

EDIT He didn't claim to be gay before he died, he claimed to be bisexual and always valued women and sought attention and love from them right up until he died, despite having relationships with men also. He was flirtatious with language and would describe himself as many things over the years.
 
He was frquently quotes as stating "I am as gay as a daffodil, my dear". In an interview with NME in 1974, he described himself as "gay". He had a longeterm relationship with Jim Hutton.

however, he also once admitted to "playing the bisexual thing" and was confirmed to have had a relationship with Mary Austin.
 
If you know the story of Mercury you know that he had a female lover who he lived with for many years.Mary Austin is now living in the mansion Mercury left with over one hundred million dollars. Yes she was at his bedside when Mercury died along with his current husband.Fred's husband received one million pounds sterling. Mercury song love of my life was wrote for Mary Austin.Mary had told Fred she did not want an open relationship.At the end of his life he knew she was his soul mate and the one who loved him the most.He had let her go to have the family life style that she could not have with him As Bowie said Fred died because he was bisexual in the time of HIV.
 
Well i saw his bio few years ago. In the bio they said that mary austin was the love of his life so he when she broke up with that hurt so much so i think that he was bi cuz he was into both. thanks girl that song is one the best song i ever heard from him and thank you again i was looking for this song for the longest thank you.
 
I think I will always remember the day Freddy died. I heard the news on the radio and had to stop driving to cry.
He was openly bisexual.
 
He was gay. He would throw all these big parties where all the men would dress up like women and the women would dress up like men.What little women there were.Buy he was gay and eventually died from aids.Not because he was gay I don't know how he contracted it.He might of done a little bit of drugs I'm not sure.
 
freddie mercury was bisexual he was a very talented singer its so sad that he died of aids he will be missed forever
