(For reference: I am cishet, but have family & friends in the LGBTQ+ community and consider myself an ally.) Usually just lurk, but I feel you so badly.
I've been saying it forever as well. They're spending millions, to specifically target/advertise/appeal to the community... out of the goodness of their hearts? Right.
Then as soon as its "over", the facade drops and its on to the next big event/target market. Rinse and repeat.
As a cishet I saw it what was as soon as they started it. It was about 10-15 years ago. It was sleazy then, and it's sleazy now. They are just trying to milk the population as much as they can. They don't give two fucks about inclusiveness or equality. They know a large portion of Americans want equality. So it's a cash cow.
