That is a very good point. Recently I've seen in Spain (my country) that 
they are going to create a gay chamber of commerce for enterprises and shops 
dedicated to goods and services of interest to the gay community. I suppose 
that within capitalism it is too much to expect that the gay constituency 
would be treated as more than a market segment.
