Geez Louise.
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.
Wow, those faggots are really taking over.
I thought they were all gay.
“It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books,” said Jon Goldwater, Archie Comics co-CEO.”

An extremely marginal and diseased viewpoint.
Oops, didn’t catch the others already posted.
Nothing really new here; they just want more kids to not only be devil worshippers but gay devil worshippers at that. :)
I guess when your sales are low enough, targeting “children” of the homosexual 1-2% will increase market share.
Giving the Arabs yet another reason to seek nuclear weapons...
In this issue!..Kevin Keller finds out whats “Jughead” ears are for
HAH HAH! I’ve read that comic! They’re ALL gay characters!
Maybe the new character will get himself some JugHead.
I have no problem with people who happen to be gay, if they keep what is properly private, private.
Homosexuality is defined only by the fact that you are sexually attracted to members of your own gender. That’s it.
If the Archie comics keep other sexual topics out (and as far as I know they still do), why do they feel compelled to introduce it when they don’t show Betty and Archie getting down, for example?
Private matters should be kept private, period. I am happy to work and socialize with homosexuals so long as they don’t shove it in my face, just like my husband and I don’t shove our heterosexuality into their faces.
We are what we are, but sexualizing materials aimed at children for any reason is offensive and wrong. Like others said, they could have had a “gay” character for years but never mentioned it. Overt sexuality has no place in the Archie comics in any form, gay or straight.
Like the MSM, Archie’s fall into political correctness probably means there are NO readers left. The attempt to shock and scandalize is their last gasp.
No kids read Archie comics. Not one. I think the only people reading Archie comics these days are the adults that used to read them as kids.
There’s one rather amusing comment—although the poster seems to have managed to post it about ten times:
“They should do a comic where the Prophet Mohammed is gay and beats Jughead in a chitlin eating contest.”
Good idea.
Good Lord. Is nothing sacred any more?
