I don’t think it’s meant to be like that. In fact I don’t think it’s that deep.
I think for the cases where the meme actually holds true it’s a mixture between “hey I like this thing I didn’t know before (linux), what else may I like?”, being more likely to inform themselves about topics and probably also a community that is becoming more welcoming with the memes that eventually people try to explore themselves and figure out that they were something they didn’t know they were.
If that makes any sense. They could also be unrelated and it simply happens to be that a lot of needs are also queer
