The Queen has signed onto marriage equality in England and Wales.
I’m not sure who came up with this image (I’d love to give credit), but I adore it.
A reference to the Queen and gay people obviously leads me to think of Freddie Mercury. (Am I right?)
I imagine he would be happy about the pronouncement, so to celebrate, I’m posting Queen videos today.
I did an informal poll on Facebook and Twitter of my friends’ favorite Queen songs. I got about 18 responses with 20 songs, but there were two that were named repeatedly.
Everyone, of course, loves, Bohemian Rhapsody:
Although there were some people who prefer the Muppet version:
The definite favorite, however, was Under Pressure:
Personally, though, I was a bit disappointed that no one else shared my personal favorite:
I also blog at Engineer Blogs, home away from home to some of the best engineering blogs.
I don’t believe I saw this poll when it came around. My two favorites are still “I Want to Break Free” and “Save Me”
That puts both in a tie for 3rd place with about 8 other songs. :-)
