Archie Bunker's Place (1979)

Archie Bunker's Place features Veronica, a lesbian main character, whose identity is portrayed with dignity and agency. While Archie initially reacts with prejudice, the narrative consistently critiques his bigotry, framing external obstacles as unjust and affirming the worth of LGBTQ+ lives and relationships.

The series frequently exposes the hypocrisy of Archie's nominal Christianity, contrasting his bigoted views with the genuine compassion and moral integrity often associated with Christian values.
