The "role model" position is about sending the right message- in this case, it's that you should be comfortable with who you are, that we're all different, and that uniqueness collectively make us better, which has nothing whatsoever to do with hetero- or homosexuality.

Are you trying to say she'll turn "Sara Hetero" gay just because she looks up to her as a good, positive influence?

Oh my God, a lesbian role model! The race will die out from an entire generation of straight girls turned queer by the lesbian basketball player! Lock up your sons, too! We don't want education and tolerance getting to them, either!
