The only reason why so many companies are openly in support of LGBTQ+ is that right now it costs them almost nothing and effortlessly paints the illusion of a human face onto their public image.

I don't expect that to last. There are many influential countries that are increasingly intolerant of LGBTQ+ at a government level. If one of them just so much as mumbles something about "moral values", expect all of these over-eager LGBTQ-supporting companies to quietly delete all references that they ever supported this.

Big corporations already been doing this to a certain extent with China - it's amazing how gay characters just vanish from works like movies they want to sell there.

My employer, large financial institution, supports LGBTQ rights since I started to work there. That's 14 years ago.

While you may be on to something that it's not purely altruistic there's a much more important reason for that stance.

You lose out on a lot of very well educated, highly competent candidates for your workforce if you don't at least try to provide an inclusive work environment for minority groups.

Smart employers figures that out a long time ago.
