    There are likely a number of very different takes involved, which may look the same at the surface level:

    • Gay women crushing on her

    • LGBTrenders latching on to someone popular

    • Pro-LGBT activists who make everything they see about their cause

    • Trolls stirring the pot

    • Foreign powers stoking controversy

    • Social media promoting anything and everything that drives engagement

    • Anti-LGBT activists promoting it as another example of the gay agenda

    I’m sure there are more, but the point is that people tend to feel a personal attachment to anything they agree with that becomes popular, using it as an example in their own mind proving that the world agrees with them, without actually knowing anything about what’s really going on.
