“Queen” has historically often been used as a slur against specifically gay men in American culture, the OP’s context is an example of that.
Yeah, as an American (the South, even) I can tell you that somebody angrily calling a gay couple queens if she is not herself part of the LGBTQIA+ community would not generally be something accepted here. It is a term many queer people embrace for themselves, but is still often used as a slur by an aging populace and not something a straight cis person should say.

Now we’ll see if I was wrong about New York voters while in the national spotlight.
