The story about the lesbian woman is from the graphic novel, Stephen Fry's character has been added by the filmakers. Since Stephen Fry is gay in real life, I suppose it made sense to make his character gay as well.
They've also removed Finch's speech about how he loved the Black people and the Gay men.
They've also removed Helen Heyer, the scheming woman who manipulates a lot of the events.
But lets leave it to Alan Moore (the creator)
Alan Moore said:
[The movie] has been "turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country? It's a thwarted and frustrated and largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values standing up against a state run by neoconservatives?which is not what the comic V for Vendetta was about. It was about fascism, it was about anarchy, it was about England."[10]

He later adds that if the Wachowskis had wanted to protest what was going on in the United States, then they should have used a political narrative that spoke directly at the USA's issues, similar to what Moore had done before with Britain. The film changes the original message by arguably having changed "V" into a freedom fighter instead of an anarchist. An interview with producer Joel Silver suggests that the change may not have been conscious; he identifies the V of the comics as a clear-cut "superhero? a masked avenger who pretty much saves the world," a simplification that goes against Moore's own statements about V's role in the story.
Also the fact that Moore's stories are about Sexuality in general, and mostly Super-Heterosexuality. (See The Watchmen, King Hell, Swamp Thing)
