I don't know. I think that one was featured once (I cannot give supported evidence, but I think that if there hasn't been a featured studio about things like that for a long time, one of them was probably featured a few years ago, and they still think that that was enough).

A project which involved a simple animation of a rainbow flag meant to promote LGBT rights. It became unsurprisingly controversial, resulting in many homophobic comments and remixes, which were later removed. It even lead to people questioning whether or not the Scratch Team was making political stances on subjects. In response to the topic, the Scratch Team released a statement:
“ We think it’s important to explain why we chose to feature a project supporting Pride Month, and why Scratch Team members sometimes share projects or icons related to LGBTQ+ issues. The Community Guidelines say, “Scratch welcomes people of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.” We believe Scratch should be a space for people to express themselves and share what is important to their lives such as race, gender, religion, etc. We feel respectful comments, projects, and studios about LGBTQ+ are appropriate for the Scratch website. When someone shares their identity, or celebrates their friend’s identity, we want to support that. When someone shares something that is against another person’s identity, we see that as unfriendly and unwelcoming. As members of the Scratch community, Scratch Team members create and share projects about topics important to us, and for some of us, that includes sharing LGBTQ-related projects. And we hope this will inspire other Scratchers to create content about topics that are important to their lives. ”

There definitely was a project with a pride flag featured a few years ago and there was controversy and a lot of people asking that the scratch team keep politics off of the website.
Here’s what the scratch wiki says about it:

Oh. Is there anything about support studios?

I think you've already got your answer, haven't you? :P

Adding on to that, I think some already were featured, perhaps more than once, and they'd like to feature other original studios?
