I don't really see it that way. If you're still just talking about the lyrics previously discussed, then I took them to suggest how easily misunderstood the concept of homosexuality is by the general populace (as evidenced by a child thinking they were gay because they liked to draw).

Furthermore, I think it was to highlight that its still looked down upon by the general population and that what it means to be a "***got" - in the minds of the low-minded - is both derogatory, effeminate, and severely misunderstood.

I assume this because in the following lines he's talking about how its used in Youtube comments when its probably not relevant to the discussion in the first place.
