I’ve seen the ad - my “gay” antennae didn’t go up at all.
I just figure it’s two guy friends and one drives a hard bargain.... or likes the watch!

I vote no due to lack of evidence.

I think they’re supposed to represent two buddies hanging out, but “gay couple” was my first thought when I saw the commercial. Maybe Progressive meant for it to be ambiguous.

Were their names Ace and Gary???

Knowing the company was founded by a flaming Liberal, I would go with Yes!

It’s certainly not as blatant as Quizno’s ‘Tasty Torpedo’ ad.

I don’t know if they are gay, but they certainly are queer.

What kind of couple (hetero or homo) sell each other things? I thought it looked a little strange at first, but decided it wasn’t what if first appeared because he sold the watch, he didn’t give him the watch as a gift. And apparently I have thought way too much about this.

Chairman Peter Lewis is more libertarian than liberal, but he is good friends with George Soros (matching his several multi-million dollar contributions to MoveOn and the DNC. Aside from his love of ugly modern art, his primary political cause seems to be marijuana legalization.

I’m curious about the 2 guys in the Sonic commercial. I think they are gay.

That company has a history of producing ads which are apparently designed to turn people's stomachs:

‘Gaydar’ did have a slight reading.....tho not an obvious one. The guys were rather effeminate.

Of course they’re homosexuals. I am sure this ad is part of the conspiracy to turn America into a homosexual nation. They are all around us, in our schools, in business, in government. There are even homosexuals who claim to be conservatives. Of course, we know that is impossible.
