It's just nice to know there was someone out there he was able to trust beyond the bounds of a sexual relationship...I've never understood the appeal of rock stars since I've never found any of them really "hot" and the serial marriages of Jagger,etc just left me cold. This story was new to me and a side of him that's fascinating to find out about after all these years.

[> [> [> [> People find labels reassuring and don't like something that "does not fit in" -- Chani, Sunday, January 08, 02:31:02pm (81-65-157-129.rev.numericable.fr/81.65.157.129)

I have known about Mary and Freddie for many years because my big sister belonged to the official Queen fan club in the 70's and was friend with one of Roger Taylor's girlfriends, but Mary is a very private person -- she never wrote a book on Freddie or her relationship with him unlike so many of his so-called friends and lovers(but to be fair unlike them she didn't need the money since Freddie made her a very wealthy woman!)and only gave in to the journalists once, giving an interview in 2000. Perhaps Freddie managed to protect her from the media too. Apparently he was very private too, despite the stage extravaganza and "bohemian" lifetsyle. It's only when he died and left her his estate that her existence became known.

Why did he trust her above anyone else? We'll never know, but the fact that they met and were a couple before he became a rock star might be one of the reasons.

Freddie had a few other affairs with women in the 80's, hence many people calling him bisexual(those labels again!) but it's quite obvious that he was more attracted to men, sexually, and he settled in with one male partner at the end of his life, yet he said that he could never be in love with his male lovers the way he was with her, as she was his soul mate. Ah the mysteries of love...

I don't doubt that there was a deep bond between them, a true love and real caring relationship (he was her son's god-father), but I also think that being an artist type, Freddie needed a muse, and Mary was his.
