I have a very similar story to yours actually. It was in a London gay leather bar though in '80 called Subway when I was just 20. It was a great club, slap bang in the middle of the West End with gorgeous guys, brilliant music, sleazy backrooms & the odd celeb was never far away. I was with my best mate, looking cool, having a break from dancing to 'another one bites the dance' again, when I noticed 2 guys stood at the opposite bar checking us out. I soon realised that one of them was Freddie Mercury & was with was his old friend Peter Straeker. I'd been a huge Queen fan since '7 seas of rhye' became their first smash hit in the uk back in '74, years earlier. I had all their records, seen them twice in concert already & now this guy is checking me out. I put my mate in the equation & before you knew it Peter came over to buy us guys a drink. Then he introduced himself & asked if I knew the guy he was sat with at the oth bar. 'Of course', I replied, 'he's Freddie Mercury, I'm a big fan'. To which Peter replied that he & Freddie was asking us back to their place for a foursome. I was in a situation I never expected I'd ever be in, I had posters of the man on my bedroom wall for God's sake! It wasnt gonna happen though. The thought of having to have sex with my best mate was enough to make me wanna throw up yet alone having sex with two guys I really didn't fancy either. I could see my mate was really getting off on the idea but I had to end the chat up by saying to Peter that 'I'm highly flattered by your offer but for one, I don't have sex with my sister and neither do I play with guys that I just don't fancy either, whoever they are. Please do thank him for his incredibe music though & to keep it up'. I don't think they got turned down too often so we lost each other in the heat of the night. Looking back with things I know now I'm glad that I can say I'm not a starfucker & did have some principles otherwise I might not be around anymore if you know what I mean.
What an absolutely story! Thank you so much for sharing! No for the dishy part, but rather for the history and especially gay history which he have so very little of. If you have a facebook account, you should copy / paste this and post it. It’s a pure gem! Again, thank you so much for this! 💋💋💋‼️ Man Parrish
@@manparrishstories I have better things to do with my time rather than FB which I really don't mean condesendingly but I am thinking of putting a book together of my own as I have so many stories of my sordid & fun packed youth.....there are lots of them! I had the option of joining a boyband once but the last thing I wanted was fame to f*** up my life so I politely turned the offer down.
Hello again Man. I don't do Facebook or social media but is there anyway I can send you a private message cos I'd like to ask you something which I think you might be able to help me with, if that is at all possible? Thankyou!
Buddy you are a music god to me , growing up listening to on how to break dance to both of your hits & I listen to the episode on your child abused, man that heavy & super jacked up , but never did I know you where gay which still does not bother me still Rock your 2 & will never get tried if listened to your hits do you still live in coco beach because as I was scrolling through your Facebook page, I came across what I thought. It said you lived in Cocoa Beach but you are a music god to me with your two hits and I never knew the length it took to make hip-hop bebop.
Those days were fun and club or bar hopping at that time definitely ruled. I liked the Eagle and Spike...do you remember the Lure also in the meatpacking area., I was there on their closing night and it was a sea of flesh.....I love your experiences I have a had a few crazy ones to...what's great about you telling these stories they trigger memories for others and myself...love you Manny......
Hey Tony I used to work at the LURE. I did some DJing on all nights and I worked in the co check. Made a ton of money with those heavy leather jackets. I’m planning on doing a whole series of underground New York City in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Places like the LURE, Area club, anvil, bath houses, cruising areas etc. I might have to start a separate channel because the last time I put material up, RUclips took my channel down so I have to protect what’s here and maybe do it as a different channel like “ManParrish underground“ or something like that. The good all days lol
@@manparrishstories I forgot about the Anvil, I wish I knew you were at the lure...make sure the material u put up is duplicated and secure. Looking forward to the underground series...T
Love these stories so much. The life of man Parrish. Certainly one of the most interesting, entertaining and unreal lives. I would have been obsessed with finding Freddie that night. But you were so comfortable being man. I'm so proud of ur ability to be happy in ur own skin. I'm headed to the stage to do something I've thought of and dreamt of my whole life. Please send me psychic guidance. Somehow I have to become like you. Seeing Joey tonight made me understand my life. Of course he is everything to me. He guides my life. I'd love to talk with u. Ur advice would be like words from God. Xxoo #moonfiretower
THANK YOU!! I did, but…. Someone from RUclips banned me because my stories were “not with community standards” of RUclips. I appealed, etc.. they ignored me. I waited 1.5 years, took out the episode on where I was a teen run-a-way and wound up with a pedophile, and reposted the series again. So far they are leaving me alone. I lost all my subscribers… rebuilding… all I can hope for is that people will share! THANKS FOR THE KINDNESS!!!
@@manparrishstories that’s a shame. I’ll be honest I genuinely don’t understand how some content is seen as fine and other content isn’t. I look forward to more of your videos
@@manparrishstories so when a victim can't discuss the trauma experienced which could / will help others and may possibly give clues to help some avoid predators according to RUclipss Community standards? Awful.
I often wondered “water off“… Lol. As you can see by these stories, my life is a crazy turn of events.… What I do it all again… Probably the good and the bad. Because it’s got me to where I am now, which is happy! Thanks for your kind words.
Absolutely awesome story teller you are !! Keep us up to date on all these bangers. They're awesome 👌

Love this story, it shows once again that Freddy was the sweetest
Crazy to think that if you got with him you might have gotten infected

Are you sure it was 90’s??
Sorry it was the 80’s… oops!!!
🥰🥰🥰
I didn’t find him attractive at all Fredy Mercury, not for me.
