Also in order to establish the level of diversity in the company, they need to count how many of each kind of person there is.

Many companies ask the information optionally (https://www.thehrcfoundation.org/professional-resources/self-identification-of-lgbtq-employees https://www.thehrcfoundation.org/professional-resources/self...) in order to provide appropriate benefit plans, as LGBTQ individuals may have specific health concerns that non-LGBTQ people don't have.
