There is actually a prominent gay couple at the heart of Come From Away, and there was a likable if minor gay character in Groundhog Day, who the lead character admitted to having liked and fooled around with during his seemingly endless repeat of Feb. 2nd. I believe that last fact was unique to the show and not lifted from the film's script.
"Fooled around" might sound insulting out of context, but I think fans of the show will agree that it did not come off that way at all.
