When Archie goes gay, you know you’ve won
Theocratic haters, you don’t wanna miss this:
Archie Comics Character Comes Out
What does it say about progress when the most mainstream, Middle-American comic book introduces a gay character? Barbara Spindel on Archie’s cool new heartbreaker.
A teenager has come out in Riverdale, and no, it’s not noted “woman-hater” Jughead Jones.
If ever there was a sign of changing attitudes toward homosexuality, Archie Comics, the aggressively mainstream and relentlessly wholesome comic books featuring redheaded Archie Andrews and his friends, will introduce gay teen Kevin Keller in Veronica No. 202, on sale September 1.</em>
Amazingly, this will probably stir up a controversy. Ijits just cream their whities to be offended by something that effects them…not at all.
