Variety, like my analogy suggested. Fact is, a character’s sexuality can influence their interactions and make them take different roads from you or I, which adds a layer of playing with a viewers expectation within the context of the show.

Just because an LGBT character is added in a show does not automatically mean they are doing it to fish for views…that only happens most of the time. It can also happen because the writers liked how the characters personality and actions plays off of the existing cast.

So to summaries, I will be the first to criticize shoed in characters, but I will not automatically label a character shoed in just because of their sexuality, because that would be stupid.
