This ep of All in the Family really is breathtaking -- a culmination of a 3-year (!) storyline involving a rare recurring queer character (!!) in the mid-70s (!!!). I got to interview Norman Lear about the making of those episodes & he talked about how proud he still is of them.

I just watched a 2-part episode of All in the Family in which Edith's dear friend, an apparently gay man and famous female impersonator, is beaten to death by antigay thugs, and Edith loses her faith in God. CBS aired the second episode on Christmas day 1977. Quite astonishing.
