Following which, many icons came in defence. One user stated that queer identity doesn’t mean someone is strictly attracted to one gender. Fans added that queerness allows for fluidity, and accusing her of queerbaiting doesn’t make sense. They also added that the singer shouldn’t be judged for how they navigate their personal lives or relationships.
