Doesn't that statement mean that you are somewhat against gay people?
Part of the message of how beautiful you are was to encourage anyone regardless of their sexuality/appearance/weight/height/disabilities/whatever and tell them that they are beautiful. The PV reinforces that with a theme of universal love between all types of people (men with men, women with women, people who are into S&M, people who have prosthetic legs, etc.)

Tokyo_R_Pride: Hamasaki Ayumi fans, please spread. As a conclusion to Tokyo Rainbow Pride on 29/4, all participants will sing ayu’s 「How beautiful You Are」. We are considering making an ayu float too. http://t.co/NuGQpsZw #trp2012 #ayu

Tokyo_R_Pride: The PV features homosexual love and praises love of all kinds, and the message of “you are beautiful” goes well with our theme this year, so that’s the main reason why it’s chosen. Please sing it with us!
ayu_19980408: This is a happy story for me, who had learnt my life lessons at Nichome ever since I was a little kid!! Please use my song to make a wonderful closing ballad ♡

I wonder what the Ayu float might look like. Also, Ayu seems like she hung out around Nichome a lot even as a kid. (It's basically a gay district in Shinjuku/Tokyo)
