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?

do you honestly believe that the experience and level of acceptance in and around a gayborhood is the norm in the country?

Absolutely. Otherwise the news would be filled 24/7 with stories of people being beaten in the streets or whatever, and it's not. It's just perceived victimhood. You said it yourself - it's about acceptance. It's a way to bully or guilt heterosexuals into accepting something they do not accept. The idea that homosexuals 'would roll their eyes' at the idea of a Straight Pride parade, as was mentioned in the other comment shows that to be so.

Mo, I never said we have Gay Pride to stop every queer from getting beaten up every time they step outside their doors.

Let me put it like this: Gay Pride gives non-straight people a guaranteed week in which to feel as comfortable hanging out with people like them as straight folks get every. single. day. of their lives.

Gay Pride is not about straight people. Period.

And if you can't understand that, if you can't find a parallel to your own life to help you get it, then you simply won't ever understand. And so I'm done.
