CNN ^ | 04/23/10 | By the CNN Wire Staff

Riverdale High School, the stomping ground of comic book legend Archie Andrews, will open its doors to its first openly gay student.

Kevin Keller will be the new student to join Archie, Jughead, Veronica, Betty and Reggie, Archie Comics publications announced Thursday.

"The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie's hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books," said Jon Goldwater, Archie Comics co-CEO.

Kevin will make his entrance in the comic book in September

Ridiculous. Every one over the age of ten has known for years that Jughead’s the gay one. He spent every issue telling Archie to give up on women and hang out with him at the malt shop.

Indoctrinate the children. Make sure they are programmed early.

An extremely marginal and diseased viewpoint.

They're just now getting around to it? Hell, they started a girl character named Sabrina who is a devil worshipper back in 1968 or so.

Nothing really new here; they just want more kids to not only be devil worshippers but gay devil worshippers at that. :)

And keeping the world of Archie current and inclusive, we should have youth gangs terrorize the school and community. We should see failing minorities in the school, who are falling behind due to the racism and oppression of our society. Heck, Betty and Veronica should have gotten knocked up years ago. Reggie would have seen to that. Or the girls could talk openly about their birth control methods. All in the name of being current and inclusive, we should talk about lots of other topical issues, not just homosexual characters.

I guess when your sales are low enough, targeting “children” of the homosexual 1-2% will increase market share.

You bet. It seems that they want children educated on all sorts of sex acts so they don’t blush and are not surprised when a teacher offers them a deal for better grades.
