This'll be a short one.

I like to look up music on youtube. I kind of ignored well-known music for the first 15 years of my life, so I've been catching up for the last four. I'd have to place Classic Rock up there as one of my favorite genres. Recently discovered Bad Company (I've got a piece of pixelart coming up soon that was made largely while listening to their eponymous song). I've also been listening to a lot of Queen lately.

And there's something that irks me about the users of youtube. Half of them feel the need to bring up Freddie Mercury being gay in their comment. Either that or something about aids. And it's usually not just a passing comment. It's usually something pretty nasty. Some even try to act as if they weren't homophobic, by appending something like "Oh, but I don't care that he was a fag" to their comment. I see the same shit on most of Elton John's music.

Why the hell do people care? I've never known anybody as openly homophobic as some of the people on youtube. Maybe it's just that I live in a small city in the northeast. Maybe it's just that as soon as somebody jumps on the internet they stop caring what people think of them. I don't know. It just bugs me that somebody should even care, much less ridicule a great singer for being gay. It's, quite frankly, bullshit.

Well, that's it. Just something that's been bugging me lately.
