Archie Comics hold their first gay wedding
Comic sells out ahead of threatened boycott
Archie Comics broke ground with their first openly gay character Kevin Keller some time ago. And now the familiar little square comic book is holding its first gay wedding, between Kevin and his fiancee. Despite calls from parenting groups to boycott the comic, it has already sold out, and the Archie Comics co-executive John Goldwater is standing behind the issue.
"Riverdale is a safe, welcoming place that does not judge anyone. It's an idealised version of America that will hopefully become reality someday," Goldwater said, in a thing that made me suddenly love Archie Comics.
