The weekend saw the eightieth anniversary of the birth of Farrokh Bulsara, known internationally as Freddie Mercury. He was born on 5th September 1946. Numerous LGBTQIA+ and general media observed the date and paid tribute to Mr Mercury, the driving force behind legendary rock band Queen, and who passed on to the realm of LGBTQIA ancestors on 25th November 1991, from an AIDS related condition.
