Yet he supports financially a car company that has targeted a group that he abhors.

Um, just because a car company has a marketing campaign to attract a certain demographic does not mean that said company is fully supporting that lifestyle or way of thinking!
Do you really think car companies do things based on what they believe in? HECK NO! They do things TO MAKE MONEY! As some of you know, I work for a car company. (US Corp. headquarters) Right now, the 'nitche markets' are hot in the luxo car market. These nitch areas include minorities (Asian & Black) as well as the 'alternative lifestyle' folks. So our company (as well as many other car companies) are developing strategies to sell our product to these markets.
It's not because car companies have all of a sudden decided to embrace an altnerative lifestyle: it's simply that is where the dollars are! Think about it: most gay couples (men and women) and DINK households - dual income, no kids. Most are also pretty affluent. Bottom line: they have $$! In the present economic state, car companies are doing their best to penetrate into markets they traditionally didn't have simply because the traditional 'wells of resources' are beginning to run dry.
To claim that Mull is driving a car made by a company that is 'gay friendly' is simply absurd.
BTW: I drive a Subaru Legacy, and my wife of ten years used to drive a Subaru SVX.
Sorry for the long post,
