That's just a surface level analysis. The moment LGBT people started being accepted, not because of people's benevolence but because of much fighting and struggle to be accepted and recognized, capitalism realized that we could be marketed to, that we were just another profit source, so it started reacting accordingly, that's why terms like Rainbow Capitalism exists.

You can easily see this every pride month were companies will change their logos to pride themed ones, unless it's in a country where being LGBT is illegal. We are only a concern as long as we are profitable.

Furthermore it is not that companies are inherently right wing, but rather that they are a part of capitalism which is in itself a right wing system.
