Archie Bunker And Gays

Norman Lear's brilliant "All in the Family" was so far ahead of its time. Carroll O'Connor's pitch-perfect portrayal of the antihero, Archie Bunker (even the last name 'Bunker' connotes entrenched mentality), is one of the 20th Century's great characters. Remember, this groundbreaking television show aired during the 1970s and treats gay rights with compassion and humor. Wonderful, wonderful stuff.
