This is a cynical ploy to change the face of the company because being anti-LGBTQ+ is costing them money. They want to still be shitty people but for the company to have broader appeal. They wouldn't be doing this if it weren't affecting their bottom line. They're not doing this for the right reasons, (ie: that it's super shitty to give money to homophobic/transphobic organizations), they're only doing it to try and make more money.

Hard pass.
