I think somebody already mentioned this, but when the character "Beverly Lasalle" appeared on "All in the Family", and Archie - despite himself - grew to like her and see her as a friend - I think that was a milestone for us. If ARCHIE could see Beverly as a person - maybe even a woman........ When he mourned her death - it was a very touching moment. Perhaps that character wouldn't be considered a great portrayal of someone from our community by today's standards, but it was groundbreaking in it's respectfulness at the time.
