Bea Arthur RIP

Just learned that "Maude" has died.... The actress Bea Arthur was an icon of my growing up years; as the acerbic matriarch on the TV sitcom "Maude." Not simply for her feminism, but also the way in which that persona advanced gay issues.

Maude was real. Maude was now. Maude took no prisoners. She was one of my few adolescent heroes.

Bea, may all you did for kids like me illumine your crown in the here-after!
