I wouldn't bee two quick to discredit him. I think the reason behind the song's success is the lyric "any girl like deserves a gentleman." See, being the musical and lyrical genius that Shawn Mendes is, he sings it in a particular tonal way where the lyric could also sound like he is saying "any GUY like you deserves a gentleman" thus creating a song that resonates with different segments of the general population.
Millennials are very driven to progressive values and Shawn's subtle queer-progressive song is speaking to the core of their values.
