A special TV show called "Top Top Gay" was aired by MTV Brazil. It's aim was elect the 10 most famous gay/lesbian singers in Brazil. Freddie is #3. Here is the list:

10 - Pet Shop Boys
09 - Cássia Eller (A dead brazilian lesbian singer)
08 - George Michael
07 - Melissa Etheridge
06 - Michael Stipe
05 - Boy George
04 - Renato Russo (A dead brazilian gay singer)
03 - FREDDIE MERCURY
02 - Cazuza (A dead brazilian gay singer)
01 - Elton John

Apparently the people from the program did not have much acknowledge about Queen, because they said that Freddie composed many "gay anthems" like "We Are The Champions", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "I Want To Break Free", which video features the band dressed as women (but they forgot that John Deacon composed that song, not Freddie...).
