A few years ago, some groups got in a tizzy about a Cheerios commercial that featured a kid with gasp two dads. Since then, I’ve seen more and more of this in commercials with less and less outrage each time. Currently there’s an AT&T commercial featuring two dads dealing with a terrible babysitter. I saw another one for some prescription drug (I’m thinking for allergies?) But at the same time, I can’t think of any commercials that happen to feature a kid having two moms. Are there any out there?

Kay Jewelers (or Jared, or something) was running an ad over Christmas and they may have started it up again for Valentine’s Day, where one woman gifts a romantic necklace to another.
There was this Starbucks cup about a year ago. Not a commercial, exactly, but still commercial advertising.
I don’t remember a specific one, but Subaru for sure. And even not just recently, though they played coy back in the day.
I JUST read a tweet from a female actress who appeared as a lesbian mom* in a commercial and discussed receiving hate mail for it, but now I can’t for the life of me remember the actor or the product.
*In retrospect, it MAY have just been a lesbian couple in the commercial, but I THINK it was a family with kids
The Cheeriors commercial with a bi-racial couple got pulled after receiving such negative backlash.
The article you linked says the exact opposite of what you said. Not only did it not get pulled, but they made a second one because it got such a positive reaction. The only negative reactions were from trolls in the comments on Reddit and YouTube.
I can’t say I’ve seen any lesbian ads, but I am seeing a ton of mixed-race couples in ads.
Suck it, bigots!

This is what I cam in to say. I’ve noticed this a lot over the past three or four months
