It's dumb. Besides, Freddy wasn't gay, he was bi. If your friend is going to be a bigot he should at least get his facts correct.sgtjawa said:I was talking with a few friends yesterday, and the topic changed to music after a while, specifically Queen. One of my friends (An extremely conservative, vocal Republican and bible-thumping Christian- I have nothing against those groups, and he's still a pretty good guy despite how annoying he sometimes gets) said that he used to love Queen, until he discovered that the main singer was gay, and now he hates them. Being a kind and polite kind of guy, I kept myself from bringing the topic up the faults in his reasoning and changed the topic.
Is this an actual reason to hate something? To me, this is a horribly homophobic and bigoted, but I'd like to see some other people's opinions on this.
looks like a bass for a hippieMaster_Spartan117666 said:I'm not a big fan of it too.Aunel said:Yes it's not very humane hating, but people hate all the time for good reasons, but most of the time for no reason at all.
Just like me, I seem to hate this bassI just don't like it, for no reason at all.![]()
I'd like your opinion of the bass I'm getting.

Like Jesus.Jenx said:It's an absurdly silly reason to dislike Queen, plus completely irrelevant, since, as already pointed out, Mercurie wasn't gay, he was bisexual. He loved EVERYONE.
Sorry, but its any conservative who acts on his conservative believes that bothers me. I can appreciate religion but anyone who claims the title 'conservative' is hiding bigotry in his sleeve. That's not to say conservatives are bad people, but you condemn sex, other religions, other races (though this may have evolved as Christianity always tends to do) and so many other things. And do you know for what reason? Social conditioning started from a time when hating such things was 'in'. Some white Christians hated black people, and so they declared it a sin to be black. Racism died down a bit and its no longer a problem, is it?Haseo21 said:Im the same as your friend, but Im not gonna stop liking a band just because one member is gay. that is illogical and people like your friend gives us conservatives a bad name.
I have some enlightenment for you alright! We are all entitled to our own thoughts and word, i dont like what you say but i'll support your right to say it. I cant say im not mad, but it makes me happy that regular people like me are n ot getting in the way of what you beleive and what you wanna say.Kurokami said:Like Jesus.Jenx said:It's an absurdly silly reason to dislike Queen, plus completely irrelevant, since, as already pointed out, Mercurie wasn't gay, he was bisexual.

Sorry, I'm preaching against your beliefs, that's not fair and perhaps I've simply misunderstood every conservative I've ever met (I'm open for enlightenment if you've any light to shed),
yea but iv met a stack of bass players that would rather use a squier and put it threw a pedalAunel said:yeah the thunderbirds look awesome.Jim From Accounting said:i know what you mean about the bass thing i wanted a thunderbird and i finally tried one and just when meh and ended up with a Specter REX4Aunel said:Yes it's not very humane hating, but people hate all the time for good reasons, but most of the time for no reason at all.

and about the jazz bass I mentioned, everyone I talk to refers to it as "the" bass to have.
That's fine logic, but my friend just flat-out STOPPED liking ANY of their music.daemon37 said:Before I answer your question I want to get your opinion on this logic.
1) I really liked Nirvana
2) Then Cobain killed himself
3) I no longer like Nirvana. The music is still good, but every time I listen to it I get mad about Cobain.
