10. The money people and capitalists have no problem with LGBTQ people

What this incident shows is precisely how much they have to give up to keep their taxes low (by keeping the social conservative loons on their side).

(This isn't strictly speaking accurate. There has been a great deal of fantastic research on how capitalism in fact structurally works against LGBTQ people through a variety of discursive and financial mechanisms, but it's also true that capitalism is theoretically completely devoid of any "values" whatsoever, positive or negative, against anything but profit; for this reason, it appears to be tolerant, since it can tolerate anything but a slowdown of accumulation. Accumulation is capitalism's only value.).
