Keeping Company (2021), on Paramount Plus, not to be confused with the other Keeping Company (2021), has a promo that looks very much like an insurance agent trying to sell to a gay couple. Naw -- impossible. The studio suits would never allow it. They must be brothers or something.
Still, it has gay performer Chris Estrada in a minor role, so it's worth checking out.
Scene 1: A drug dealer waits on a lonely corner. Shy eyeglassed Lucas (Jacob Grodnik) drives by, locks him in the trunk, and returns to his middle-class neighborhood. He glances at a photo of the Girl (heterosexual identity established at minute 1.48), opens the trunk, and does something off-camera to the drug dealer.
Scene 2: District attorney Glen Garry (William Russ, left) films a re-election commercial, promising to reduce the "all time high" crime rate.
Ok, the crime rate in the U.S. is at a 30-year low, and you don't elect district attorneys.
Left: William Russ's backside.

The commercial is playing at the home of a newlywed couple (John Milhiser, Bryan Safi), listening to an insurance spiel.
They did it! They really did it! The insurance agents are trying to sell to a gay couple, with absolutely no discomfort or any indication that this is unusual. They are newlyweds like any other newlyweds!
