It wasn’t until 1976 that Freddie told his fiancé he thought he was bisexual. Mary later said: “I’ll never forget that moment. I remember saying to him, ‘No Freddie, I don’t think you are bisexual. I think you are gay’.”
“I’m not really trans, I just love dressing femininely, putting on makeup, enjoy when people call me ma’am at the grocery store, aren’t horrified at the idea of getting my nuts removed or taking female hormones, wish I was a lesbian, love going by a woman’s name, and really want breasts and hips. Nope. Definitely not trans.”
And there were people surprised to find out he was gay.
Freddy was bi. He wrote “Love of my Life” about Mary Austin.
I think its more complicated. I think he truly loved Mary - but not in a sexual way, more as a confidante and partner.
She told him that he is gay, not bisexual.
I don’t even understand how anyone makes it out of the closet… getting past youfself to be honest with yourself is very hard.
Fucking real. I still struggle with it.

BI-CYCLE
He loved riding his bike. I’ve never done it, though. I think I’ve always been bike curious.
You should give it a try, you never know when you might discover a new passion!
I didn’t know until his boyfriend told me.
