One Day at a Time

Finally, the sitcom One Day at a Time gave us an LGBTQ+ moment for the books. When "Elena" comes out to her father as being gay, instead of a wholesome moment we were expecting from the comedy series, her father is shocked, and chooses to walk away from their relationship.

If it wasn't something that happens regularly, perhaps it wouldn't seem too real and emotional, but the scene was raw and hit on a level the show usually doesn't go to.
