Boston Legal, Season 1

Al Sharpton:
[bursts into the courtroom] Sorry I'm late, Judge, I'll make this quick...

Alan:
And subtle!

Judge Harry Hingham:
[to Sharpton] Who the hell are you?

Al Sharpton:
[continues without pause] ...The image of Santa Claus has been crafted for hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of years. We're supposed to be in a different day. Give the world a black Santa Claus, let the people have an African-American come down the chimney bearing joy and good will!

Alan:
[whispers] Gay, not black.

Al Sharpton:
The prejudice against gay people must stop. We all say we're for gay rights. We all say we accept homosexuality. But give a gay man a hug, sit in his lap?

Judge Harry Hingham:
Who is this man?

Al Sharpton:
[continuing] Let the bells of tolerance ring out this Christmas. Let people open their minds as they open their presents underneath the tree. We need your mind, judge, today. Let the gay man be my brother, be your brother, be the school teacher, be the construction worker. Give the world a gay Santa Claus, God Almighty, God Almighty, God Almighty! Leave out the cookies and milk this Christmas Eve for a holly, jolly homosexual, God Almighty!

Alan:
And cut!
