Arthur wants to close down a gay bar for all the typical bigoted ignorant reasons. He thinks gay people have a disease and tries to explain it to Maudes grandson who puts him in his place. He drags Maude and Arthur to the gay bar to show them how disgusting it is and still cant accept that fact that gay men are human beings . All he thinks about are that gay people are sick , perverted people who have no place in this world. His insecurities are brought to the surface when Maude tries to get a gay man to talk to him. The gay guy also puts Arthur in his place by turning the tables on him when Arthur tells him that people who engage in immoral behaviors should not have a bar to go to to which the gay man replies but where would you straight people go? . the end of the episode has Arthurs hospital administrator friend Mark coming into the bar and when Arthur tries to explain what he's doing in there, Mark says its ok, it'll be our little secret and orders his usual drink from the bartender while a shocked Arthur looks on.
And 47 year later people are still as bad as Arthur with their hatred , bigotry and ugliness. Cracks me up that the same people cheat on their wives, murder people and abuse their kids yet are so insecure over their own sexuality that they waste it on hatred and pitiful bigotry.
