It seems as if every white person on a commercial now is gay (not that there is a problem with that)

It's noticeable how much commercials are trying so hard. Most of it doesn't bother me, but some of it does (like the trans people all over commercials now). That one may be difficult to explain to kids at some point.

Yes.

I don't even watch a lot of TV, but yes.

The percentage of actors in Los Angeles who are gay is probably astronomically higher than the gen population.

The burglars in the Brinks commercials are cis white males

You know, because where most of us live people breaking into houses look like French art thieves

I hear you, but I don't think kids pay attention or care about that stuff as much as adults.

My 9 year old daughter use to watch the "The Loud House" alot, one of the friends has 2 dads. I never said anything, just patiently waited for her to ask me or her mom about it. She never did. Doesn't really watch the show anymore either.

Just by watching commercials one would think that half the world is queer and the other half is in a interracial relationship..

They trying to normalize it to the population that you can be gay or couples can be interracial.

My 11 year ole was under the impression that half the population was black due to commercials. Had to clarify that to her.

There is one commercial advertising a radio shower head. There is a trans getting out of the shower in full lady makeup with a towel wrapped around him like a woman would.. WTF?

Straight white women, but always in a "mixed" setting.

Nah. I liken it to the geico lizard that talks or the lion “Easter Bunny” on the Cadbury commercial. I tell my kids it’s a joke and some jokes aren’t meant to be understood by children, but it’s funny all the same. As if two men would kiss, hahaha. Then they crack up.
