Archie comics to introduce openly gay character

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

I have no real opinion about the matter, but I'm sure some of you might with the injection of the LBGT agenda. Special thanks to The Four Color Media Monitor blog. (For those unfamiliar, it's a good conservative opining site about today's modern comics.)

Update: Our mod, sopdetly, via the Comments, poses a few essential questions:

No, but seriously. I'll ask it here because I trust y'all: What is this gay agenda I hear so much about, from your perspective? What exactly do you think all the gays are getting together and plotting?

And to be specific to the topic in the post, what about a long-running comic series suggests "GAY AGENDA" to you? Is it simply that they've put an openly gay character into the series? Is it that they're making a point to make sure everyone knows?

Fair questions all, so feel free to address them in your own comments, as well. As I type this, Mark Steyn is referencing this on Rush, now. How about that?

Re: the outed bisexual candidate, that was in Philly. He apparently brought it up because he was looking to get an endorsement from a GLBT group, one who happened to be already endorsing his opponent (the incumbent, a straight woman). She also leveled other accusations against him (that he's a trust-fund kid who's never worked a day in his life, both of which he's denied). So maybe his sexuality alone isn't enough to qualify him for office, but if he's planning to support GLBT issues and wants the people who might also support those issues to know it by getting an endorsement from this group, outing himself as bi isn't totally out of the blue.

What really gets me, is that I don't think anyone has the right to assume they know someone else's sexuality. Heck, I'm sometimes unsure of my own. Unless he's stated before that he thinks fags are disgusting, then there's no call to attack his chosen identity. And I would think that someone who gets an endorsement from a gay group would understand that.
