Its because being considered LGBT became trendy, women being into other women is hot to males so straight girls will do it to turn on their male partners. Radfems who are pissed at straight dudes for often being awful partners pretend to be lesbians to escape what they think is inevitable shitty relationships with men. Also people know that gays and lesbians are oppressed and playing the victim is a very powerful force in today's society. Some people treat marginalized status as a "Get out of jail free" card when it comes to responsibility. We see this all the time when it comes to trans people. What I find interesting is that while being LGBT is considered trendy, actually being homosexual still isn't so most of the straight pretenders do so in a way so they won't ever have to have physical contact with the same sex. So they claim to be queer, or bi, or demisexual

I hate how there’s almost an “oppression olympics” where you get some sort of brownie points for being some sort of minority. I’m a racial minority, first generation child, and gay but I don’t let that encompass my whole identity. I’ve had it worse than others and easier than others, that’s the rule of life. What should really matter is what good are you doing for yourself and the world, not mulling over how oppressed you are and how hard you have it.
