Q: Are there any products that are aimed especially for the LGBT community?
A: Yep. In business and advertising there is actually the use of the term "Gay Market" to aim products and advertisements targeted specifically for the LGBT community.
Aside from the products you find in gay-centered media (I.E OUT magazine or the LOGO channel) which include things from apparel to legal services and gay-friendly hotel resorts, you'll find things on occasion Levi's Jeans commercials showing same-sex flirting, or music collections called things like "Pride Hits". For example, the site LoveandPride creates jewelry specifically for the LGBT community.
If you walk into (almost) any Barnes & Noble, you'll also find the Gay section, which includes a bunch of gay literature. Sometimes, artists also use the gay community as a target audience (some notable diva's include Madonna and Janet Jackson).
