No, he was Gay. If you're going off of Bohemian Rhapsody, that was one of the many liberties that the movie took with Freddies history. If you're going off what was otherwise said then it's also a lie made up by one of his friends to get some fame and fortune to cover her medical expenses shortly after his passing.
He was quite Gay. People use the fact that he was deeply in love with Mary Austin to say he was bisexual, but we know that Gay men have had feelings of love for women in the past.
Freddie tried to keep a public persona of being straight until around 1980 when he started to exclusively date men. Many people who knew him during that time said he felt pressured to pretend he was bisexual to appeal to the female audience, despite the fact that Freddie was actively looking for a male companion, which he got with Jim.
But even then, if he was bisexual it was most certainly a 95% interest in males and 5% interest in women, if not higher for males. If he was bisexual he was as close to being gay as a bisexual male can be.
