Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara)

Freddie Mercury was the lead vocalist and songwriter of the rock band Queen. Regarded as one of the greatest lead singers in the history of rock music, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. Mercury defied the conventions of a rock frontman with his highly theatrical style influencing the artistic direction of Queen.

Although both Freddie Mercury and Queen actively avoided publicly labelling his sexuality, lest it negatively impact their careers, Freddie Mercury's attractions and behaviour were openly bi. His relationships included Mary Austin, to whom he willed his home and the royalties from his music, and about whom he wrote the song "Love of my Life." Later, Mercury was involved with Barbara Valentin, who is featured in the video for "It's a Hard Life."

In 1985, he began a relationship with hairdresser Jim Hutton that lasted until Mercury's death from bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.

George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver was an American agricultural scientist and inventor who left a lasting impact on the agricultural industry as a whole. Carver is credited with creating and developing hundreds of products using peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans. 

In 1990, Carver was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. In 2005, Carver's research at the Tuskegee Institute was designated as a National Historic Chemical Landmark by the American Chemical Society. In addition, many museums, gardens, and schools have been named after this great scientist. 

At Tuskegee, he rejected the matchmaking attempts of his friends. At age 40, Carver dated Sarah L. Hunt for three years. Hunt was an elementary school teacher and the sister-in-law of Warren Logan, Treasurer of Tuskegee Institute. The relationship ended when she moved to California. He formed a series of long-lasting friendships with his male students, wrote them very affectionate (although not sexually explicit) letters, and was known to enjoy getting "therapeutic" peanut oil massages from handsome men. University colleagues also claimed he would "horse around" with many men.

From 1934 until his death in 1943, Carver and scientist Austin W Curtis Jr. were constant companions. Carver and Curtis would walk around campus at Tuskegee, arm-in-arm on their way to check on their experiments. Carver left all of his assets to Curtis upon his death.

Nadine Angerer

Nadine Angerer is a 36-year-old German player and captain of Germany’s national team.

In January 2014 she won FIFA’s World Player of the Year award – making her the first goalkeeper, male or female, to do so.

In 2010, she came out as bisexual. ‘I am very open about this, because I am of the opinion there are nice guys and nice women,’ she said. ‘Besides, I find it totally silly to have a general definition. I see no problem for me to come out of the closet. This is nothing new for me, so I can deal with the issue in a totally relaxed manner.’

Thandiwe Newton

Melanie Thandiwe, known professionally as "Thandiwe" Newton, is an English actress who has appeared in a number of films and is currently one of the stars of the HBO show Westworld. 

She earned a BAFTA for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her part in Crash (2004) and has been nominated for a Critic's Choice Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and Emmy Award for her role in Westworld. 

In a 2008 interview with The Advocate, Newton discussed her own sexual past. 'I had my rite of passage. I was 16, and I wasn’t really in control of the situation if you know what I mean. It was much more about a male fantasy of seeing two women together. But I loved the girl a lot; she was one of my closest friends. I think falling in love is actually more about falling in love with an individual. We’re all potentially bisexual; it all depends on your circle, your upbringing, and all kinds of things. Or maybe I’m just talking about myself. I could’ve easily fallen in love with a woman over a man.'
