It's offensive and because you (from my knowledge) are a straight male, you can't exactly see where I'm coming from, but you might be able to empathise slightly. If she is a gay icon as she claims then she should be publicly dating women or be more open about it since the community in general has a biphobia problem, I know this being pansexual myself because apparently I don't really exist, neither do bisexuals since oh there can only be two genders and god forbid you want to date or **** one for one period of time. Being all hyperdefensive about an issue that doesn't affect you is also pretty ignorant and insulting to me.

I agree with the bolded part but I just don't agree with forcing her to publicly date women. It's like saying that being supportive and caring about LBGTQ rights isn't enough and she has to do more but you are right it's your decision to claim if you feel she's worthy of being a gay icon or not.
