Nobody thinks he's gay, it's just wishful thinking by a loud minority of faggots. If anything He-Man was just a gay icon in the 80s, as in he had a gay following who were attracted to him and the few displays of homoeroticism in his show. It's hard to find a cartoon that has fan service for gays and He-Man was the closest thing to that, doesn't mean it's a "gay show" or that He-Man himself is gay though.

It's not just rainbow haired she-hes that call shit gay, conservatards do it to. I can see some mother starting a campaign against Mattel for corrupting her kids with faggotry because they watched He-Man. Some evangelical preacher blasting from the pulpit that The Masters of the Universe are really The Masters of Sin, luring kids into homosexuality and damnation. Faggots start promoting Prince Adam in response, claiming him as their own. Politicians banking on it by using it as an example of the faggot conspiracy to pray on our children. Maybe even some kids get hospitalized after standing downwind of an action figure burning.
