>>11167229"Gay" is a blanket term you can use for any flavor of queer. I'd never erase a fellow bisexual. Anyway, in Elvira's case this is kind of a moot point though, because she has not labeled herself at all. She just said she is a "member of the LGBTQ community" and that she is with a woman. But in a larger sense, your logic doesn't work anyway. You can call yourself strictly "gay" or "lesbian" even if you have slept with a different gender in the past. This world would be very complicated if you were unable to escape any hookup you ever had and were forced to ID as that orientation forever. Think about all the drunken college experiments! This whole thing is all about what labels you choose to apply to yourself, they don't get like, branded on you lmao. In an even LARGER sense, you misinterpreted that sentence anyway, you can be a "gay icon" without even being gay yourself! There are plenty of iconic actors and singers considered as such even though they're straight as arrows.
On a side note, Elvira's legal birth name is Cassandra Gay Peterson! It was meant to be!
