Theoretically possible, but I suspect more calculation than that. I think she's spent a lot of time distancing herself from public perceptions of what lesbians are. Perhaps things have changed post-L Word and Girls Gone Wild fake blonde drunk lesbians, but when I last went to the SF Gay Parade in 1989, the only people wearing "elegant" dresses were men. I think that's still the public perception.
