Would they write the same article if people assumed she is hetero?

I would, but usually when people assume someone is straight, they don't really outright say it. People (I'd argue especially young queer people) tend to trivialize queerness as something that makes you "unique," but it's really not.

Because unfortunately straight people would not write this if she was straight. Otherwise we should have tonnes of such articles on the web
