Archie Comics Introduces Gay Character So It Can Deny Him Entrance to the Riverdale Prom
Actually it's weirder and much kinder than that. The world of Archie Comics -- in Veronica #202, out September 1 -- is introducing a character named Kevin Keller, the new gay kid in school (and, it should be mentioned, happy and well-adjusted and not hiding himself) who manages to stay thin even after trouncing Jughead in a burger-eating contest.
Veronica, boy-crazy, not yet aware of Kevin's other-team status, and smitten for any cute male who can eat an entire cow in one sitting, sets her sights on him. Meanwhile Jughead, annoyed at having been bested in a test of manliness, sits back and enjoys her confusion. That'll teach her to be so pretty. And here all this time we figured the Riverdale gays were Dilton and Moose on the DL.
Also, will little cartoon versions of the Westboro Baptist Church be showing up in Riverdale soon?
After the jump, the Archies rock and jam out with their...daisies out.
