Depends on perspective of the person reading the story. For instance people in the real world have been questioning if Bobby was gay or not for years. That is a fact. So if we are questioning it in the real world surely the other characters, even if we aren't hearing their thoughts or reading it must be thinking "there is something there but i'm not quite sure what." But now we know what it is. Some may agree with it and some may not but now you are sure of who he is and that makes others trust him more, that makes his leadership easier to not question and in that way it can make his story better. Anyone being authentic should make their story better it's on other people how they feel about that.
