Why do gays love Pokemon?

Okay so every gay guy (which, not including myself, is only two) who grew up with Pokemon still loves Pokemon. Even I still do, even though I don't have much time to play it anymore. I'm wondering if there's a trend here, because even the one lesbian I know also loves Pokemon. Is there a thing where if you're LGBT, you love Pokemon as an adult, or am I self filtering my data because all these people I'm using as examples are my friends and will therefore have some things in common with me? It can't do with being sciency because (counting myself) two of the four LGBT people who play are not science/engineering majors.

I would love to figure this out, so if you have some examples either way, comment below. The only contraint I would put on this is to have the LGBT person being used have grown up with Pokemon. My question here is why, in my experience, does Pokemon keep the attention of LGBT people who grew up loving it?

I suppose it could also be the reason straight adults love it, but I actually do not know any of those in person.
