GLAAD conduct a report every year on LGBT representation on US television and their latest report shows that, as has always been the case, the most common representation of LGBT characters is gay men. The split between LGBT men and women characters does now skew in favour of women (this only being a relatively recent change) but this is in keeping with the fact that more women than men identify as LGBT in the US now.
I don't know whether gay characters aren't being written as being with gay partners but I would guess that what you're mainly noticing is an improved representation of queer women in fiction.
