Being gay IS Important to Holt's character - much of his drive as captain and his strict adherence to rules is specifically attributed to the fact that he faced so much discrimination as a black gay cop, he had to work at least twice as hard and feels his command is going to be doubly scrutinized.

But he also has a personality that makes him a fully fleshed out character that aren't related to these facts - he is serious, deadpan, overly intellectual, etc. He is an example of writing that carefully balances how important his sexuality is to the character, but also makes sure he has traits besides that fact.

Sort of like, there are plenty of jokes revolving around Holt's sexuality, but few to none poking fun AT his sexuality.
