The Golden Girls often tackled topics that were not frequently aired on TV. These included: the coming out of Blanche's brother and his gay marriage, menopause, gun control, impotence, drug addiction, safe sex, Empty nest syndrome, Infidelity, Interracial marriage, racism, homophobia, Organ donation, fixed income, domestic violence, Problem gambling, suicide, cross-dressing, lesbianism, plastic surgery, child abandonment, euthanasia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, pregnancy, homicide, veganism, cocaine addiction, artificial insemination, health care, agoraphobia, homelessness, immigration, sexual harassment, Illegal Immigration, and senility. Perhaps the most controversial episode involved Rose getting tested for HIV years after receiving an untested blood transfusion.
They really ought to use this class to teach a philosophy or college class!!!! I would love it as a freshmen seminar!
