I'm glad Morgan is standing his ground, I'm just scratching my head why he felt the need to do it. Mercury was a polarizing figure at a time when AIDS was being publicly demonized and assigned to a "lifestyle," but we're 25 years removed from that, and history is pretty fond of Mercury now. I'm trying to figure out why Morgan thinks he needs to avoid the appearance of kindness. Maybe Queen playing Sin City? I dunno. Queen wasn't alone in breaking the boycott. About the only thing in his life that I know of that would be somewhat controversial today would be his bi-sexuality, something that is still far less acceptable than being straight or gay. The politics of sexuality sort of demanded he ... declare a team and stuck with it, but he resisted all sides of that argument. I hope that's not the focus of the movie, though. We're talking about one the truly great singers of rock and roll, and in an era when it wasn't cool to really sing (i.e. singers vs. stylists). Dude had unbelievable range and a great ear you usually don't find in that genre. He's universally recognized now, but back in his prime there was a lot of homophobia in rock and Queen was reviled by some critics and peers as being too over-the-top in their music.
We're not talking about Johnny Cash or a pervert like Little Richard and definitely not a creepy pedophile like Gary Glitter. Mercury is just a great rock star, IMO.
