The end result--gay couples being excluded from a part of the game simply because they are gay--is still discrimination. Their intent does not matter at all.
It matters in how you approach them. Because it's possible that they don't understand the thing that you are concerned about in the same way that you do.
Again, Japan isn't America, and in general you just can't expect someone to care about your opinions just because you get loud and obnoxious about them.
Understanding your target audience creates the foundation of a bridge by which you may lead them to understand your own perspective. That's how you change things.
No one is simply entitled to the consideration of another.
