I remember watching that show when I was maybe a little too young to be watching, or at the very least too young to grasp the intricacies. I do remember he and his wife adopting a Jewish girl at one point, and in one episode he gives her a Star of David pendant. I think it was moments like that is where the show really shined. From what I remember I just saw him as a crotchety old man who was afraid of change. I'm oversimplifying this, and now I might watch some on YouTube.
I also remember one episode where he gave his grandson a pistol for his 1st birthday. XD
That quote made me so misty-eyed, and that she's made gay marriage the equivalent of her own struggle is so wonderful.
