I don't see a contradiction here. Facebook's push to make people share more information about themselves [potentially] helps both ad revenue and in this case LGBT visibility. It's not a huge stretch to say Facebook helped a lot. Personally I think they have all the rights in this world to brag about it. In fact what's so great about technology/startups is you can generate great value for the world and make money for yourself.
And actually no you cannot target ads by non-binary genders it seems.

All I had to do was post one little essay and change my gender to "Female" (and my name a week later), and suddenly I'm out to almost 200 people. It was so much easier than coming out to people one-on-one or in small groups, which I only did for a small handful of people. A whole ton of people I don't really see much anymore like ex-coworkers and high school friends found out that way, and I probably wouldn't have been able to come out to them at all if not for Facebook.
