Tara was introduced at the beginning of Season 4. Willow "came out" 19 episodes later. In TV terms, that is a very long time (22 episodes comprise roughly 'one year' in the Buffyverse). If you in fact did not miss any of those episodes in between, I can only suspect that you failed to pick up on subtext.

I can only suspect you have not watched season four in a while. Oz and Willow are together and happy through episodes 1-5, break up at the end of episode six "Wild at Heart." I can't say for sure when Tara is first seen, but her first credit according to the episode guides I checked is on "Hush" which is episode 10. So my ability with subtext may be suspect, but you have your own problems with text.
