I held the door open for a GAY pigeon

Yeah, as long as it's not forced then it is OK.
For example, prior to 2015, before those D.I.E rules were implemented, we had plenty of diversity, what that meant was that you can have movies with an all white cast, a black cast, and mixed casts, but now, with forced diversity, you are only allowed to have mixed casts, so less choice.

As for inclusion, I don't know, but I don't think so.
We exclude people all the time. If I'm throwing a party for example, I don't want just anyone there, I want only people that I like, people that I vibe with, that create a good atmosphere, anyone that I don't like for whatever reason, would be excluded. Maybe because they are rude or annoying, uninteresting, or just weird. Or maybe I just don't like the way they look. They don't fit in my group. Whatever the reason, they would be excluded.

So the same goes for TV/movies. Say you want to make a movie about 4 white kids growing up in a white neighborhood in the 60's, this would exclude black people, because it doesn't fit the story, however in the current environment, you would have to make one of those characters black, so you either have to have a story that doesn't make sense, feels artificial, or the writer will simply have to rewrite the story and create a reason for there to be a black kid. So this takes away the writers freedom to write their story the way they want.

Sorry I didn't answer your question about equity.
I don't believe in equity, I believe in equality.
The difference is that with equity you are looking for the same outcome; So for example a person will get paid the same regardless of how much they work. This is obviously not fair. Where as with equality, you give everyone the resources that they need to thrive. So you give them the basics, housing, food, good education, and a job with a living wage. But you will not give them the same house or the same pay as someone who is better than them, who works more, or is smarter, or has more talent, or just contributes more to society.
Both of these are left wing socialistic ideas, but I believe that equality is more fair and just, and equity, while it might sound good on the surface, is actually a pernicious idea.

Aside from that, even when it comes to equality, we don't actually always want things to be equal. Just like in my party example in the other post, not everybody is equal and I don't treat them equally.
My friends for example will take priority over someone else. So my friend and someone I don't know are not equal. I might have respect for my friend but not for someone else. This means that they will not be treated equally. We all do this. And we all want to be able to do this. So there are limits to equality.

As for equality or equity in media, like I said equity is a bad idea, so obviously I don't want that. But even equality has its limits here. Not all actors are equal, some are better than others. Obviously the better actors should get the roles. I don't want bad actors shoehorned in just so we can adhere to some notion of equality.

Anyways, hope that helps.
