Yep. Look at this description of an All in the Family episode:
“Beverly LaSalle, a transvestite and recurring character, and good friend of Edith a few days before Christmas (the result of a gay bashing). Beverly is killed. Edith Bunker has a crisis of faith and begins to wonder how God would allow people to punish one of his children.”
