I think that there are no gay characters ON SCREEN is simply because we are seeing so very little of their lives.
And yet everything we do see ON SCREEN is hetero.
Romance/Sex/Sexuality have always been big on the TOS, brother, Kirk the playboy (and great capacity for love), Spock's serial monogomy, need I remind you of the dancing Orion girls and episode Plato's Stepchildren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato%27s_Stepchildren)... it's a part of the world there as it is in ours - represntation is lacking. Maybe focusing on Kirk is has irked so many people here, but Kirk, to me, because of his appetite would seem the best candidate, to me. It really could be anyone of the mains... I'd just like to see it!
