Freddie Mercury is Straight Outta China – IOTW Report

Freddie Mercury is Straight Outta China

Newser

Bohemian Rhapsody was released in China last week, but Chinese audiences saw a shorter movie than American ones: The country’s censors axed references to homosexuality in the Freddie Mercury biopic, the BBC reports. The deleted scenes include the moment when Mercury, played by Rami Malek, comes out to his then-girlfriend, two scenes where men kiss, and the entire scene in which Queen dresses in women’s clothes for the “I Want to Break Free” video, reports CNN. The censored version cuts straight to the band’s reaction to the video being censored. In a scene where Mercury tells his bandmates he has AIDS, the dialogue is silenced.

    And tell me again about brave Hollywood standing up for homosexuals.

    If they had any balls, other than the ones in their mouths and slapping against their asses, they would have told China to take a rong rork off a short pier than to mutilate their art.
