It's because of social stereotypes that regard LGBT people as overattached to sex, and so more likely to look for it anywhere, even if they are in a relationship. Like all stereotypes, you can fight it with communication, by spreading knowledge of what it really means to be LGBT.

Going a little outside the main topic, I have always found that people like listening/hearing/pay attention to the bad news more than the good. Going more specifically, it is a lot more common to find individuals in the LGBTQ+ community cheating on their significant others. It being more common, not being as many LGBTQ+ people as the heterosexual community, and so on.. really leads to this negative stigma in our community. Yet, I don't believe it is in the majority. More faithfulness and purity stigmas should be shown more in the media! Also, I know a lot of gay men in relationships that like to include others in their sexual activities. Some would look at that as unfaithful. I, however, do not.
