LF: Steve happens upon a gay marriage demonstration *FOUND*

I'm new to this fandom and I've been mainlining fic like crazy. Unfortunately, that means that I missed bookmarking one that I now want to go back to and I don't remember how I got to it.

I'm fairly sure that it was on AO3.

Steve was out grocery shopping - including picking up some unusual tea from a tea shop for Bruce - and he happens upon a gay marriage demonstration while he's trying to figure out his new phone. A young guy notices his confusion about his phone and offers to help him; there follows a very funny scene of the guy practically humping Steve's new Stark Phone, since it hasn't been released to the public yet. Tony, having tracked Steve down (through a Google alert? I'm less certain of that), comes to the rescue. Steve complains that Tony sneaks into his room and upgrades his phone when he's not looking just to annoy him.

The guy "humping Steve's phone" cottons on to the fact that this is Captain America and suggests that Steve probably doesn't want to be photographed in the midst of a gay marriage demonstration. Steve takes great offense to this and joins the demonstration officially, as does Tony.

The fic was inspired by a quote from Chris Evans on how embarrassing it is for the country to have not universally accepted gay marriage equality.

Thanks - and if there's a fic finders comm I should direct this to, please let me know.

ETA: FOUND!! by multiple people - it's "Phil Coulson is Not the Avengers' Public Relations Manager" by scifigrl47 - thanks, everybody! This is a part of a very funny series called "Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toaster 'Verse. Both this series and the related Toaster 'Verse are a sure cure for depression.
