I don't think the focus of making it special is as much about profit as it as about drawing attention. Making it special draws media attention, thereby drawing attention to the larger issue, which is the lack of gay rights in a large chunk of this country. I live in Cali and I had friends who lost their rights a few years back when they revoked the marriage law. If Marvel and DC writing these stories helps to put a good spin on the issue of gay rights and helps to get everyone equal rights, then I think it's ok that they make a little money in the process
