π³οΈβπ Happy Pride Month 2023! π
Here's Freddie in all his splendour π It's been a while since I wanted to draw him in his arrow jacket and this was the perfect occasion, also adding some extra colors to represent the rainbow flag! π³οΈβπππππππ
Remember that Pride Month is the occasion to LEARN and get informed about what's happening in the world, to actively support LGBTQ+ associations and small businesses, to speak against homotransphobic and racist laws that threaten people because of their orientation, skin color and self-expression. LGBTQ+ lives are always in danger and during Pride month we want our voices to be heard and respected ππ»ππ
So, if you love Freddie, be always aware that you love a romantic gay Parsi boy who has always seeked stable love and comfort in a time where it was only a mirage for gay men, and always tried to be himself with pride.
If you want to read more reliable sources, infos and quotes about Freddie being gay, with more backlinks in the same posts: here | here | here

Gay Icon Verka Serduchka
Verka Serduchka (aka Andriy Danylko) is the most famous drag persona in the Ukraine.
Danylko invented the character of Verka Serduchka in 1990. Verka is a flamboyant middle-aged woman from a rural family and makes a living as a railroad sleeping car attendant. Since then Verka has rocketed to stardom.
Verka represented Ukraine in the 2007 Eurovision competition with the song βDancing Lasha Tumbaiβ. The selection of Verka was controversial and heavily criticized in local media and by Ukrainian politicians, saying Verka was βgrotesque and vulgar". But Verka got the last laugh - the song came in 2nd in a field of 24 countries.
A writer for the British newspaper The Guardian even called "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" as the "best song never to win Eurovision".
Later Verka was a judge on the show that picks future Ukraine Eurovision representatives, and appeared in Melissa McCarthyβs film βSpyβ (2015). Verka also judged on X-Factor on Ukrainian TV (2016-2019) and The Masked Singer (2021).
Although Andriy Danylko threatened to retire his Verka persona, he continue to perform in drag - especially as a voice against Russianβs invasion of Ukraine. Verka has performed in numerous fundraisers for Ukraine.
Verka sold Freddie Mercuryβs 1974 Rolls Royce at auction in 2022, for Β£250,000. The auction house waved fees and the buyers premium. So that entire proceeds (Β£286,250 or $327,600) were donated to help fund a modern rehabilitation and prosthesis center in Ukraine for victims of the war.
Andrii Danylko was awarded the Order of Merit Third Class in 2022 by the President of the Ukraine.
Danylko has stated that he does not appear in drag outside of performing as Verka. Itβs also been reported he occasionally dates women. But Verka is still an inspirational LGBT+ icon.

πΆ Lover of Life, Singer of Songs π
Freddie sits on the piano, closes his lips and his eyes. The song is over, he thinks, but the music goes on. It can't be stopped and he knows it. And so, he smiles.
It's been 31 years since you left, but we all know you're still here with all of us. Thank you, Freddie!
Please do not copy or repost this! Reblogs and comments are welcomed π I used a photo from Montreal 81 as a reference, his peaceful expression at the piano melted me.
