Freddie Mercury and the art of Tom of Finland

Tom of Finland (born Touko Valio Laaksonen) was a Finnish artist known for his homoerotic art of masculine queer men. Called the "most influential creator of gay pornographic images", Tom’s artwork played a pivotal role in both depicting and steering the fashion trends popular among gay men of the mid-20th century, particularly within the Leather community.

Freddie Mercury was involved with the Leather community during the 1970s and 80s, and he was no doubt aware of Tom and his works. Freddie was friends with one of the founders of the Munich Lions Club, a gay leather club which boasted artwork by Tom of Finland on their shirts. Tom of Finland was also known to visit some of the same leather clubs as Freddie, including The Mineshaft in NYC.

Whether Tom and Freddie ever met isn’t clear, but regardless of whether they personally knew each other it’s undeniable that Tom of Finland’s artwork had a direct and lasting effect on Freddie Mercury’s style - as it did for many queer men of the age.

February 18, 1980: Freddie Mercury makes a cameo appearance on The Kenny Everett Video Show

"Hello, all you friends of Dorothy out there..." marks the start of this brief sketch. Though it’s seen a decline in usage, “Friends of Dorothy” was a common euphemism in the 20th century for queer men - a demographic that both Freddie and Kenny belonged to.  As another nod to their sexualities both men are wearing clothing that reflect fashion trends in the gay community at the time. Freddie had already started wearing similar pieces as part of his stagewear, though some of his accessories are different here. Most notable are the addition of a pair of handcuffs and a leash hanging off his belt.
