The irony is that The Imperium of Man is about as diverse as it could possibly get, with uncountable worlds with different cultures, traditions, superstitions, rituals and so on.
And within these cultures you have all manner of ethnic groups, sexualities, genders etc.
The Imperial Creed only discriminates against heretics, psykers and mutants.
So for example, you could have an all-female regiment of the Imperial Guard and it would be completely lore friendly (in fact in the Ciaphas Cain novels, regiments of the Valhallan Ice Warriors were initially gender segregated, before two such regiments were merged, with a woman being designated as their commanding officer)
So Gee Dubya could've shoehorned their diversity quota in without any lore clash or community backlash, either by introducing an all-female Imperial Guard regiment, or simply do what the Eldar and Dark Eldar sprues of miniatures always had: female and male miniatures.
