During his career, Mercury’s flamboyant stage performances sometimes led journalists to allude to his sexuality. Dave Dickson, reviewing Queen’s performance at Wembley Arena in 1984 for Kerrang!, noted Mercury’s “camp” addresses to the audience and even described him as a “posing, pouting, posturing tart.” In 1992, John Marshall of Gay Times expressed the following opinion: “[Mercury] was a ‘scene-queen,’ not afraid to publicly express his gayness, but unwilling to analyse or justify his ‘lifestyle’ … It was as if Freddie Mercury was saying to the world, ‘I am what I am. So what?’ And that in itself for some was a statement.”In an article for AfterElton, Robert Urban stated: “Mercury did not ally himself to ‘political outness,’ or to GLBT causes.”
