[Macie Lightfoot]

The people he inspired were probably casual watchers who saw the good edit that he was getting and nothing more. Lying about his sexuality was pointless and was just a ploy for attention and trying to look like a mastermind (even though he sucked at the game.)

Then once he realized that the First Five was hated by all of Canada, he panicked and strung together a coming out moment to try to gain some sympathy.
