Peter Lewis - the former CEO and now COB is gay:

Who is Peter Lewis? (Billionaire, Founder Progressive Insurance, Major ACLU Contributor)

Progressive Auto Insurance - Leadership

and the company has a commitment to diversity, inclusion and equal rights:

but the company also has a less than stellar reputation in customer satisfaction:

I'll stick with my lesbian agent at Farmer's. Thank you.

My gaydar went off the first time I saw it. I thought it was a little silly to play to gay stereotype behavior and so didn't think it all that, ahem, progressive.

They seemed gay to me, at first, but then the "story line" made me think, ah, not gay. Then again, reviewing the "story line", um, it doesn't really make much sense. --I'm broke, so I pawned my watch, and now I'm draggin the guy that I pawned it to, around with me to show how broke I am, and how he's now wearing my watch? Oh, but wait, now that I'm saving money, it's handy that I have him here with me, so a stranger can point out that I can buy it back now. Oh, double-wait, he's not selling.-- Um... WHAT???

As the last line is clear that he sold the watch to his friend...it negates the gay thing. Without the line, it indeed would have had a nerd gay couple cue
