People didn't "realize" it. She announced it after the series had been completed without ever mentioning it in the books or portraying it in a scene. Imagine if D&amp;D announced today that Danerys was actually a lesbian with Misandei, and that's why she went into war crimes mode. It feels like a desperate attempt for continued attention, doesn't actually represent lesbianism in popular media, and it wasn't actually "before it was cool". Gay rights had become largely popular before she made that announcement, particularly amongst her target demographic.

people were speculating that Dumbledore was gay and hating on her for it back when i picked up my first Harry Potter book, around when book 5 was coming out.  ill stand by my comment above
