Why is it normal to create hetero couples without development in fiction, but it's strange if they are LGBT? ?

Why is it ok to create heterosexual couples in a fictional story without having to explain why they are heterosexual, but is it necessary to explain why a couple is LGBT?

I'm not talking about character development or story development, I'm talking about the simple fact that they are who they are. I always see people asking why a character is homosexual. Which I find strange, because the answer is obvious, he is homosexual, because he was born that way in the same way that heterosexuals were born heterosexuals. Why do they require an explanation for the character being homosexual (I'm not talking about personality development) but don't when the character is heterosexual? If they see a heterosexual couple, they don't question anything, but if they see a LGBT couple, they demand that there be a past, a trauma, etc., that justifies the character being homosexual. Why does this happen?

It seems the same with black characters. It's ok to create a story where the protagonist dies and is reincarnated in another universe and, coincidentally, everyone there is Japanese or white, but if they created a universe where everyone is black, the same people would say it's unrealistic for all human characters to be black in another universe.

If they want people to create their own characters, why do they attack when they do it the way they want?

Its not strange because they are LGBT, its strange because LGBT-ness tends to be "in your face" about it. Take Hvem ska trösta knyttet. A book made by Tove Jansson, the creator of the Moomins.

Norwegian translation

13 homos with red baloons, riding a merry-go-round. And thats all the info we get about them.

The Moominfamily’s maid Misa, in the book Farlig midsommar, she ends up with a homo if I remember correctly. Okay.

The homo Tofte is the main character of Sent in November. I didn’t need to read that she is homo almost every time her name is mentioned, but other than that she is fine as a main character.

All these examples are fine. There is nothing wrong with them.

is this really an issue?

Apparently yes. Since no matter how they are presented, they are always called woke.

[Sasahara]

Asker, they are not always called woke. People who complains about wokeness have no issues with the lesbians in for example Valkyrie drive.

@Avicenna No, its not really an issue. Unless you are working for Disney and complaining about not being able to write your characters as gay as you wanted (Owl house, modern DuckTales.)

Why? There is no why. People are or they aren't.
