I think this is pretty plainly untrue.
If you mean at best irrelevant for the company, that’s certainly not true — friends of mine (and myself!) absolutely make purchasing decisions based on the moral reputation of the company.
If you mean for the world, this also seems patently false to me. You can’t tell me that constantly seeing ads featuring gay couples as happy families doesn’t have a measurable impact on normalizing and aiding acceptance.

Sure, but people like you may make up a small or negligible part of total revenue. And, like the Hollywood actress who was astounded that Nixon won because "nobody I know voted for him", you may overestimate how many people are like you. I've heard the phrase "go woke, go broke" thrown around.
