I don't know that the canonical Bertie Wooster could be called "progressive" (or "politically engaged" or "aware of anything that's going on outside of his immediate sphere of acquaintances with funny nicknames") but you can't argue he wouldn't support gay marriage. Bertie Wooster neither likes nor understands straight marriage, but he fights for his friends who inexplicably want to do that.

The hour remained rather on the painful side of ack-emma, but the lark was on the wing, the snail on the thorn, and Jeeves in my room doing the important work of restoring this Wooster to the world, body and soul.
"Jeeves, you stand alone," I said after I had a bit of that.
"If I may be so bold, sir, I think I no longer do."

" Right ho," I said, and started for the door, sauntering at first in a languid sort of way, like a connoisseur a bit bored at having his time wasted.
I say " at first," because I had only taken a couple of steps when I tripped over the cat, and you can't combine tripping over cats with languid sauntering. Shifting abruptly into high, I shot out of the door like someone wanted by the police making for the car after a smash-and-grab raid. The cow-creamer flew from my hands, and it was a lucky thing that I happened to barge into a fellow citizen outside, or I should have taken a toss in the gutter.
- P. G. Wodehouse, The Code Of The Woosters
Bertie and the infamous cow-creamer 🐄
(and bits of Roderick Spode and Sir Watkyn Bassett)
