Okay, how stupid were girls in the 80s?

Getting ready for bed and they're doing a "Wham" thing on VH1. They're talking about teen girls in the 80s thinking of George Michael as a sex symbol. Dude! I was as naive as they come in the mid-80s, and I was well aware from his first video that the boy was gay. He was clearly gay. Did most girls in the 80s NOT realize that he was gay?
