I'm pretty sure The Jeffersons, Barney Miller, That's My Mama, Soap, Murphy Brown, Maude, Three's Company, Gidget and Are You Being Served all handled those topics well enough before the 90s.
But you are perfectly correct, in 'current year' a big hooha has to be made about these issues. And if that's not pimping out 'eccentricities' I don't know what is.
Once upon a time we could laugh at the only gay in the village, or "I'm a lady". But now, it's "Computer says no!".
To think that the BBC took on us basement dwelling outcasts of society and lost royally in front of the entire world. That's gotta sting.
