‘Cause otherwise there's no point in saying they're gay, to begin with, like there isn't with saying that straight characters are straight. The thing would just go unnoticed, most people would assume they're straight, other will assume they're not, end of the story.

The only thing that shows a character is gay is a romantic/sexual/name-it interaction with a chacacter of the same sex, 'cause the rest of gay people's lives is pretty much the same as straight people's. And hosnestly, in a story of whatever kind, a romantic/sexual/name-it interaction between two character must always be somewhat functional to the plot, otherwise it's a useless digression.
