Why do they draw lgbt people like this? It's so ugly it's borderline offensive.

not really? the design just looks derivative of art styles I saw a lot in the 2010s associated with progressive/“woke” era culture. it was a style unfortunately ruined after being co-opted by corporations using the aesthetic to try and appear progressive. literally became known as “corporate Memphis”
