I thought about making this an off topic entry, but Star Trek has been a trailblazer in terms of support for minorities. Think back to the The Original Series...where else in the 1960s could you find a TV show that featured an African American in Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), an Asian (ancestry-wise) American in George Takei (Hikaru Sulu), a Russian (ancestry-wise) American in Walter Koenig (Pavel Chekov), and a Canadian playing a Scot in James Doohan (Montgomery Scott)? So too has Star Trek been a boon for the LGBT community, so we are on topic punching in a cruising speed of warp 9.975.
