It just puts more and more focus on the sexuality part, they dont do that with the straight characters cause we already assume everything. This is an extension of the "general" audience being a lil uncomfortable with gay couples. (Or, at least, writers and producers feel this is necessary) that is part of why a lot of shows have those odd moments where, once a character is outed, someone on the show is uncomfortable, but later comes to accept them. It's a way of telling the uncomfortable in the audience that it's okay, and is still somewhat necessary.
