Just because it is not an issue to you, does not mean it is not an issue to David Laws or to other people.
Even if "most wouldn't have given the fact a second thought", it does not mean all wouldn't have given the fact a second thought.
Given that he kept quiet about his sexuality all these years, it suggests that he did certainly think that some people at least would have given it a second thought. Not all family members are accepting when someone comes out, not all friends are, not all colleagues are... He went to a Catholic school, & spent years working in the City, so you can see why he may have preferred to keep quiet regarding his sexuality.
