Saying they're black or gay when it has no bearing on the story doesn't tell anyone much. You didn't choose to say they were loving, outdoorsy, not super-physical, middle-aged, wealthy, blonde, family-oriented.... Noone is coming out to crucify me here - talking about race isn't taboo - but the non-relevant aspects of the relationship you choose to highlight for reasons tells plenty about you.
