Of course there's going to be people that want to be part of the "oppressed, cool, new" minority, similarly to how people self-diagnose themselves as OCD or depressed. But that doesn't do justice to homosexuality as a whole. It leads to misconceptions, and assumptions. I am aware that try-hard gays exist; but that doesn't stop me from believing that they should be accepted like everyone else. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue.
Also, children are impressionable. But this isn't long lasting. Gays are often impressioned themselves to believe they are straight-- sometimes, for most of their lives! Until they realize why it never felt right to them.
I'm arguing homosexuality is normal, and they should be fairly represented in media. But as for a Disney movie, audiences today aren't ready for that-- plus, you only get one chance to make a first impression for this kind of movie. And it would have to have a developed plot that extends beyond its romantic theme.

There's a big difference between pretending to like something and pretending to see stuff a different way. Self Diagnosed OCD is a really poor comparison, being gay simply means that you are attracted to the same sex. Whereas OCD is a disorder that causes your brain to interpret things differently. People will genuinely convince themselves that they are attracted to other men/women, them being convinced that they do is all that matters.
Being OCD on the other hand is much different, most people who self diagnose themselves don't actually know the extent that it goes-- or in some case even understand that OCD is an actual medical diagnoses, and not just a word used to describe wanting little details to be right.
