I think it is done to try to let other lesbians know she is gay and maybe available. Because most women are not gay, it is not easy to find a girlfriend without sending out signals. Also, if she is involved with someone, it might just be a sign of solidarity, as when people wear yellow ribbons to show support for the troops. It makes life easier to know there are more like you out there.
