Because they are people with lives. They live in their lives. It is exactly the same as someone saying "My mom's making me go and bring in the groceries."
My kid's crying got to go.

Making causal statements about the life you lead isn't "going on about" things. It's referencing the life you live in. That seem like a fairly basic human right.

Now imagine that instead of just saying, "Got to go, my husband is home," you had to monitor yourself, and watch and make sure that nothing you said was revealing. That's ridiculous. People should be able to be casually self-referential.

That's why.

I look forward to a day where we don't celebrate gay pride, or gay marriage or gay acceptance, because it's the normal order of the day and to do so would be as odd as a straight pride day. I think it's wonderful that Threshold is a place where the GLTG community can be comfortable. I think it sucks that so many other places are not that it's noteworthy.
