In the 1970’s Norman Lear’s All in The Family was one of the first television sitcoms to tackle social issues such as the Vietnam War, women’s rights, abortion, and homosexuality.

CNN has uncovered rare audio/video of former President Richard Nixon and his right hand henchman John Halderman discussing an episode of All in the Family that featured two gay men with Nixon going off on gay, immorality, and how homosexuality is a leftist plot to bring down society.
