I believe for a large part of the world homosexuality is far less controversial than homophobia, and thus it makes sense that Disney would want to showcase same-sex couples to declare loudly that they are not homophobic. Whether this is sincere or opportunistic it's open to judgement; one could cynically notice that the large part of the world that really doesn't like homophobia is a very high potential market for Disney.
