This topic has been brought up on F!S before. As several people above me have mentioned, Benzaie is definitely bisexual. (Source: http://benzaie.com.over-blog.com/article-benzaie-q-a-5-formspring-resurrection-67891979-comments.html#anchorComment, and several other places.) He also occasionally talks about GLBT topics in his more serious videos, and has mentioned that Family Compo is one of his favourite manga. And in general, the people at TGWTG are very GLBT friendly, you'll find. Hell, they openly cheer when finding fanfic.

But even without Benzaie, I think what you are looking for is a little tricky. Take for example TGWTG; they are a young company. Yes, they do have a slowly growing number of staff, but their employment is based on videos they make being found or posted on the forum, and how much people seem to enjoy their videos (ie. hit count, positive feedback, being featured on Transmission Awesome, etc). I would love for their to be more GLBT content or reviewers, but it might take time for someone of that ilk to emerge and fit the criteria. Hell, some of the recently added reviewers have been posting their stuff for over a year now (and have been featured on TA) and are only now on the site.

Other game companies who are long established most likely have even stricter criteria for hiring. They most likely accept people based on resumes and qualifications as well as the sort of content they would bring. These companies would most likely focus on what is popular, and what will make them money, rather than what will be interesting to GLBT audiences. I'm not saying there won't be people that manage to make it big and talk about those topics, but I don't think it will be common.

Also, there are websites that do offer content for GLBT folk. Just do a google search; they exist. Not as fun as the video sites, but they exist. Hell, have you stumbled into the fandom for TGWTG? Lots of us are Rainbow People ;D I'm sure one or two of us might make it.
