Hollywood has always been over represented compared to the general public.
I don't think this has ever been a issue.
The problem the article is talking about, is the other 20 men for each 1 gay man out there.
They stopped going to the movies to watch movies (at the same rates they used too),
because Disney changed their movies to appeal to other focus groups (mainly women).
Disney is falling for the "modern audience" take.
That everything needs a female focus, and you put a angry feminist in charge of everything, and suddenly not only do your movies sell to men, but also to everyone else at higher rates. This failed. Disney are finding out, that they cannot take male dominated IP, not respect the source material, and change it, and still get them to go watch it.
Basically Disney needs to pick between sticking with what works, or their messaging.
Or just dropping anything male related, if they don't honestly want to try to appeal to men.
(they already are heavily female leaning, anyways, that was why they bought Starwars and Marvel, to win over guys...)
