wait, the Golden Girls were allies irl? That's awesome!

Yeah, all 4 of them were amazing ladies who championed progressive causes throughout their lives.

Estelle Getty (Sophia): Was a huge advocate and ally during the AIDS crisis. She personally cared for her gay nephew as he was dying of AIDS and later opened up an AIDS hospice in his hometown in his honor. As of 2023, the hospice is still operational. She also just outspokenly supported the gay community in general during a time when it wasn't popular to do so.

Bea Arthur (Dorothy): Another outspoken supporter of queer rights and even left an endowment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Ali Forney Center (an organization for homeless LGBTQ+ youth in New York City).

Betty White (Rose): She was not only an LGBTQ+ icon and ally, but also an ally to the black community and an animal rights advocate. Like Estelle Getty, she was very active during the AIDS crisis trying to spread awareness. She also told off racists in the 50s when they cried about her having a black dancer on her show (she literally told them to "live with it" which is ICONIC).

Rue McClanahan (Blanche): Another outspoken LGBTQ+ supporter. She advocated for same-sex marriage in the US.

Additionally, a lot of the writers for Golden Girls were young gay men, and there are stories of how open and accepting the actresses were towards them.
