Trump's entrance at the Republican National Convention was as ...What… the... hell... was... that?! Trump is joking, right? Freddie Mercury, a gay man, is turning over in his grave right now. Video by Occupy Democrats, LIKE our page for more!

Donald Trump had the audacity to use Queen's music at the RNC last night. Can someone please stop him????

Incredibly disappointed to hear Trump walk out at RNC Convention to QUEEN music. GOP is anti-gay yet feels free to steal music from a band whose front man was gay :(.

It isn't the first time Trump has played the song at a campaign-related event. The group's lead guitarist, Brian May, took issue with Trump's use of the song last month, noting that "permission to use the track was neither sought nor given."
Trump has also come under fire for using music from Adele, Neil Young, Aerosmith, R.E.M. and the Rolling Stones.
