All representation is positive. Honestly this just feels of privilege from people who have never had to live in a world where their real identity would get them fired or worse.
Not necessarily, these same companies will turn around and fire trans or queer people the moment they come out or allow homo/trans phobia to happen.
So no, not if it leads to exactly 0 material improvement to people’s actual lives and is just a cynical way to make more money (which 9/10 times it is).

Corporations feeling comfortable enough to support LGBT+ people is a good barometer of how we stand in society as a population.
It demonstrates profits from performative diversity outweighs losses from bigots.
Yes, and while that doesn’t mean things are dandy, that’s still better than the alternative.
To state the unstated, “comfortable” for a corporation is defined as what stakeholders believe will not damage them financially, boycott vs marketing.
If they think the boycott outweighs the positive sentiment, they don’t print the ad.
And it is people more like the comrade in this meme than the capitalist wearing a rainbow token who got us here, and there is still work to do.
