The point is that nobody calls Cinderella a straight story. Yes, it was great representation and the reason it was great was because it wasn't cliché or leaning into stereotypes for characterisation.

It was certainly a gay story, but it was first and foremost a love story. The only people who would choose to name it a gay story first and foremost are saying so to minimize it or demean it.

You can be technically correct and still call it wrong.
