The most common option is always left out. We say Thai food or Chinese food but no one says "Lets have some American food tonight" when living in the US, because it's implied if no other type is mentioned.

I don't think there's anything wrong with calling it a gay love story or just a love story, one just offers more information.

... But we do? When deciding whether to go for lunch, everyone I know very much will say, "Do you want Mexican, Thai, American,..." and so on.
