“Archie" A Comic Character Brings Out Bigotry-Homophobia
It could be called a comedy, funny, distracting and so on and such would be true in all counts but we will be leaving out, ignorant-homophobia-bigotry.
The same type that would have appeared in 1952 if Archie was straight and getting married to a black girl instead.
I’ll give you the quote below of Archie Comics CEO John Goldwater:

Archie Comics co-CEO John Goldwater has a typically classy response to the kerfuffle. He says: “We stand by Life with Archie #16. As I’ve said before, Riverdale is a safe, welcoming place that does not judge anyone. It’s an idealized version of America that will hopefully become reality someday. We’re sorry the American Family Association/OneMillionMoms.com feels so negatively about our product, but they have every right to their opinion, just like we have the right to stand by ours. Kevin Keller will forever be a part of Riverdale, and he will live a happy, long life free of prejudice, hate and narrow-minded people.“
