I know I will get some of you saying they also want to take our money and steal from us, etc., etc., I wasn't coming on to debate this. It was just something I took note of at a Pride event.

There is a belief that gays/lesbians make more money than heterosexuals. http://joeclark.org/gaymoney/marketing/

Subsequently, big business wants to be nice to us.
