Bohemian rhapsody fails to address the glass closet in which Freddie Mercury resided for so long. The movie celebrates Mercury's art without doing justice the stuggle of being a member of the gay community in the 80's and dealing with AIDS during the epidemic. Although it was directed by an openly gay director, there is still more the movie could do to address a major part of Mercury's life and threat to his community
