How would you translate this term in this context?

Bowie was propagating this man-love imagery, but he was
doing it in such a brave way that Arsenal’s mob really liked
it. Football thugs liked the audacity of it, and the toughness,
and suddenly outrageous gay people became warriors,

Además de extravagante, creo que "excéntrica" también podría representar la idea en este caso.

alocados


Explanation:
Otra opción sería: "de repente los alocados homosexuales parecían guerreros."

Creo que "parecían" es mejor aquí, no tan literal.

Saludos!

O mejor, en este contexto, "de repente los alocados homosexuales eran vistos como guerreros".
