Everything in [the movie] Bohemian Rhapsody happens less with the thrust of life than the rapid-fire recounting of a biographical history, sometimes rigorously in step with Wikipedia, sometimes taking shortcuts to avoid anything that strays outside a neatly contrived narrative.{{cite news}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 2018-10-30 suggested (help)

Appears that someone misinterpreted the source, making this statement in first paragraph misleading:
“They also stated that he had associated with someone who was recently infected with HIV on the same day of their final US appearance, when he began to exhibit more symptoms.[144]”
Source reads: “It was during the U.S. leg of the tour that Freddie pursued his desire for gay sex in New York and on September 25th, while appearing on Saturday Night Live, he began exhibiting some symptoms associated with someone recently infected with HIV.”
This would mean the symptoms he began exhibiting at that time were like those in someone who was recently infected with HIV, not that he associated with someone who was recently infected with the virus. Erinelyse (talk) 16:04, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The word "Parsi" means Persian. The Parsis left Iran centuries before because of religious persecution and immigrated to India. They generally do not marry outside of their religion (they are Zoroastrians) so their gene pool is less diluted. Therefore in terms of heredity, Freddie was mostly Persian. 92.16.169.112 (talk) 19:55, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
