I think because gay doesn't mean homosexual male. It just means homosexual, which is also an adjective. Although it can be used as a noun, as can gay but it sounds wierd. Being a lesbian is specifically being a homosexual female.

Maybe I'm wrong and it does actually mean homosexual male, and it's just been used otherwise. But to my understanding it is mostly used to refer to men, but does not have to be.
