Now lets also consider that straight characters tend to have little in the way of preventing that confirmation. Sure there are plenty of will they won't they stories, but it's often exceedingly clear that both characters are attracted to each other. Gay characters however are often not confirmed and often have comments like "they are just friends" or "that's gross" surrounding them. But that desire for confirmation still exists.

So often what I tend to see is that people are unwilling to accept the possibility that characters might be gay unless beyond shadow of doubt they are, and they usually can't be confirmed to people unless there are overt portrayals like kissing.

For example, I'm strongly certain that Ryne and Gaia are a young gay couple. I don't mind of others head canon them as just friends, however I do take issue with people demanding that my interpretation is wrong.
I'll say you're interpretation is...your interpretation. You want it to be so so to you it is. I've seen many teenage girls act the way those 2 do so if Ryne & Gaia are a young lesbian couple so are most close teenage girls (which I don't think is the case). Has nothing to do with being unwilling to accept. Has everything to do with the signs being shown. And to me and many others that isn't the case with Ryne and Gaia. No one can factually say either or but I CAN say the game says nothing on it. Hell they're both like Thancreds daughters which would effectively make them sisters and that makes far more sense but what do I know...
