Instagram recommended another guy I never heard of: Riley Polanski. Be sure to include the -n, or you'll get a lot of ladies. I checked the IMDB to make sure he's an actor. But before looking at his work, let's check his Instagram to see if he is gay.
Over 150 posts, a lot of muscle-shots (nice swimmer's build), architecture, design, music. No girl-hugging in the first 100 or so, unless you look very carefully: notice the girl in the top photo on the far left, and just behind him next to the handbags in this photo.
Nicely decorated apartment, but if you look carefully, you'll see a framed 1960 ad from Christian Dior, with a swimsuit lady in the forground.
The last 50 posts display girl-hugging all the way down.
And no guy-hugging. This looks promising, but Riley states that this is his best friend, not a boyfriend, and they're at the Hotel Cafe on Cahuenga, just south of Hollywood Boulevard, near the famous corner of Hollywood and Vine: one of the more heterosexual parts of Los Angeles, a good three miles from the border of West Hollywood. Dudes are straight.
I pieced together a biography from the IMDB, Backstage, Facebook, and Linkedin. Riley was born in Pomona, California in 2000, and started acting when he was 10 years old: the Western 6- Guns (2010), starring 1980s staples Barry Van Dyke and Greg Evigan; Airline Disaster (2011), starring former Family Ties cast members Meredith Baxter-Birney and Scott Valentine; Baseball, Dennis, & the French (2011).
We just had lunch, but I told my friends that it was an energetic hookup.
When he was a teenager, Riley had to put his career on hold due to "family illness." He still performed, in Mulan at the Claremont United Methodist Church (2015) and Xanadu at Claremont High School (2017), and he won second place at the California State Thesbian Festival.

Left: In case you are interested, the first celebrity I met when I moved to Los Angeles was Michael J. Fox, who played Alex on "Family Ties."

He graduated from Claremont High in 2018 and enrolled in Pasadena City College. During the next two years, Riley worked as a production assistant on You're the Worst, with Stephen Schneider, and did a lot of acting, primarily in student films:
Worthless Words (USC): "A world where your words are controlled."
The Cup (St. Mary's University MFA): Two aspiring actors encounter a 1920s flapper.
Paz (Chapman University MFA): An abused girl finds strength in a spiritual connection.
Alice In/Somnia (2020): a girl in the Sleep waiting room has to deal with bureacracy.
More after the break. Caution: Explicit.
