Well, it was after the debate had ended and the scores had already been given out, so at that point it wasn't super relevant. And I know she is gay-friendly - she uses the word cisgender, which isn't a word that most straight people know, and she works in the equity office, so I don't think there's much more to it than just not knowing this school existed. It's a pretty esoteric thing I wouldn't necessarily expect people to know, and either way, after the debate had already happened it wasn't really necessary to point it out, and especially not when she was in conversation with another person about it and I wasn't even part of that conversation.
