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.

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 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.

"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."
