Personally I'd accept as canon proof any of the following (just examples, could be more):

-character mentions on-screen that he/she is gay/bi/lesbian/etc.
-character is shown on-screen to display something that commonly qualifies as sexual affection (a peck on the cheek or a hug is not, prolonged kissing is)
-character refers to a current/ex acquaintance as girlfriend/boyfriend/romantic partner/any other name that doesn't leave room for questioning in a way that is not a part of a joke
-character is shown to be sexually or romantically attracted to someone of the same sex in a way that is not a part of a joke

I think a good basis is honestly holding them to the same standards as straight relationships. My main fandom has a very particular way of expressing pairings and is very light on marriages, engagements, and explicit declarations of love. But when a same-gender couple hits all the tickboxes that the considered-canon straight ones do, I feel like it's fair to put them on the same footing.

I don't need explicit "we're an item" for a man and a woman, so I don't feel I should need it for two of the same. I won't touch creator intent, because who even knows, but that's how I treat things.
