Today marks a special day since my favorite comic introduces a gay character. This feels like the time I saw two men kissing on TV in the series “Brothers”, a surprise bi porn or two guys walking hand in hand in Burma. I’m not a huge activist but I get happy and proud when I see a pure real non-opposing action applies.
In order for a voice to be heard, I guess it’s ridiculous if you’re to actually just side one corner and dwell on how bad the other is. That’s what I see of activists lately, so bitter and torn about the past and grudgey about the future. It’s true they must have suffered a lot but don’t they want peace as opposed to war? And why would they say their opposing team is dumb when they themselves seems not as educated as one would expect them to be.
What the people at Archie comics did is smart. Always known as a light reading unbiased good message spreading comics in America, it’s awesome for them to break the majority comfort to welcome a new character into their neighbourhood, Kevin Keller. A hunky blond hair and dreamy eyed hunk and as gay as he could get, YET normal. No Judy Garland liners and nothing about cross dressing, it’s refreshing to see a plain normal gay man for once.
I am not against beautiful gay men out there who can be so different and cool at the same time. But I think it’s about time we all stand up to say being gay is not about cross dressing. It’s not about being non monogamous and promiscuous. Being gay is not about not taking responsibilities. Being gay is NOT about being expensive. Being gay is not about knowing dress sense.
Like metrosexuals making a breakthrough, I would like to see the world with more variety. Why can’t we all be gay and normal? Kevin Keller would be the first dude who would rock the normality of a gay life. With straight friends he won’t end up sucking cocks on and a personality that fits in a normal teenager neighbourhood, I hope he stays for good as one of the original Archie gangs, unlike Jughead’s girlfriend who was around for like a while only.
Being gay is all about knowing what you want in life and sticking to what you believe, to me!
