Prince George, the son of the U.K.'s Prince William and Kate Middleton, recently celebrated his fourth birthday. But the day before, a photograph of him looking out at helicopters in amazement went viral -- in an unexpected way.
Subjects of the twitterverse came out in hoards dubbing the young prince "a gay icon."
While some of the responses were cute, many took it too far, determining themselves for the child that he was gay.
Others came to the prince's aid, reminding us that George is still a child, no matter how royal he may be. A debate ensued:
\u201cIt infuriates me that so many gay men are commenting on that Prince George photo. He's a child, let him be, don't build anticipation.\u201d— Matt Hunt (@Matt Hunt) 1500760437
\u201cI'm EXTREMELY uncomfortable\nseeing the sea of gay men\nmaking a meme of that\nPrince George photo\nWe should be better than that\nHe is a CHILD\u201d— MrAdamnewyeaR \ud83e\udd42\ud83e\udea9 (@MrAdamnewyeaR \ud83e\udd42\ud83e\udea9) 1500755055
\u201cGays: I wish people would stop mocking effeminate guys!\n\nGays: Lets mock Prince George, a child, about his effeminate pose and call him gay!\u201d— MoodyBast (@MoodyBast) 1500816189
