Unless you know for a fact that both members of a couple are gay, refer to them as a same-sex couple, not a gay or lesbian couple.
Huh. My wife’s pretty evenly bi, I’m heavily lesbian-leaning bi. But we’ve identified as a a lesbian couple (just not a couple of lesbians), as well as a same-sex couple. I always read “gay couple” and “lesbian couple” that way. Didn’t know others thought it was odd…

I do too, because I’m identifying the couple as its own entity that is gay or lesbian, not the individuals in it. My bi friends in those relationships have never said anything to me about it–and I have asked, though in slightly different contexts (“Blah blah blah lesbians–wait, does it bother you if I say “lesbians”? I know you’re bi, but I was thinking in terms of how you experience the world and the world experiences you in your ltr with Girlfriend.” “No, ‘lesbians’ is fine–functionally that’s how things are.”).

I think that’s mostly just sloppy, rather than malicious, allthough I agree it can be annoying.
Two women in a relationship are having a lesbian relationship. So calling them a lesbian couple sounds like the same thing, except the latter implies that both of them are lesbian, which they may or may not be since it’s perfectly possible that one or both of them are bisexual.

… “LGBT rights” rather than “gay rights,”…
Please don’t do this unless you actually mean the T as well – consider using “LGB” instead. Countless publications trumpeted the abolition of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell as an LGBT victory, yet trans people still cannot serve openly in the military. Several states offer employment protection based on sexual orientation but not on gender identity. While there is considerable overlap both in people affected and in oppressions faced, we are not identical.
