Archie Comics Introduces Openly Gay Character
It is unclear who reads Archie Comics nowadays, but whoever the readers are, they’ll notice a new character in coming problems. The comic, which dates towards the 1940s and for decades has revolved around a love triangle between Archie Andrews and Riverdale High classmates Betty and Veronica, is debuting its very first openly gay character.
The new student, Kevin Keller, is scheduled to appear in problem #202, out in September, and will add diversity to a Riverdale community which has been criticized as getting too homogeneous.
