Also, to Mike Conway (specifically comment #6)
Thank You for shedding that light onto those who read your comment, I had no idea there were polygamist and homosexual betrothals between God’s people in the bible; I’ll have to look into this some more. But once again, very bright and sharp rebuttle c: thank you once again for your insight!

to Johanna, (specifically comment #5)
You’ve managed to gracefully, and wholly put into words what those of us who wish to adequately state our feelings of opposition in an educated and well-conducted manor to mm23; Thank You Kindly for this. No response is needed, just please know that if your excerpt paints an accurate picture of your linguistics skills, than you would make an excellent author, like William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, or Franz Kafka even!
Also, you must be firmiliar with the saying “forgive me for writing a long letter, I had not time to write a short one.” -unknown

Kenn, LWA doesn’t spoil the miniseries — it’s just one alternate future. Since we don’t know as much yet about Kevin as we do about the other characters, they have to take off from what we do know already. I suspect the current-day story won’t be so specific. But interesting point you make about the roles not moving along as fast as some would like to see.

Suzene, I changed the link to another blog with the same cartoon. I didn’t want to lose it because I love it! What a great use of comics to make a point, with humor even. Thanks for sharing it.

Drat, could you break the link above, please, Johanna? I forgot that my Tumblr isn’t always safe for work (that particular post is, but the front page is only a click away).

Darn those intolerant gays! Why can’t they just take their oppression with gentle good humor?

So Kevin will be the first character to marry before ever even dating? If only the Government would get out of the marriage business altogether, we could finally stop seeing gay men portrayed as 1950s characters, with nothing on their minds but marriage and the military. Oh, and thanks, Archie Comics, for spoiling the miniseries for us by revealing the military choice Kevin makes for himself.

Why people dedicate their lives to a book of fairy tales is beyond me… but the Family Research Council are a well known hate group and people should stop giving them the chance to be heard and start ignoring them for being the idiots they are.

Also, mm23, marriage is more than just a piece of paper.

“Marriage is ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN, and that is all it will ever be.” Chapter and verse, please. Show where it states it specifically and explicitly.

Also point out how the Bible reconciles the “one man, one woman” idea with all the Old Testament marriages where a man had quite a few wives and some concubines and God was all right with that. Explain also the marriage between David and Jonathan (covenant is the word for marriage). All these polygamous marriages and a gay relationship, and God called these His people.

Go peddle your bigotry somewhere else. Those same “Christians” who now preach against love and commitment and equal marriage rights, 50 years ago they were telling us how much of a sin it was for blacks and whites to marry. If marriage is “one man, one woman”, you have to write Abraham (two wives) and a bunch of other patriarchs out of your “Christian” history.

It’s a loser argument, too, to tell us we have to be tolerant of your intolerance. Sorry, no. What a forked tongue you have, to speak of your approach being driven by “love” at the same time you’re using judgmental words like “perversion”. If truth is so all-fired important to you, you wouldn’t be trying to harm and condemn those who are as God made them. Or are they supposed to live a lie to make you feel better?

and PS, the states that are still defending marriage are the ones to be applauded, not the ones sliding downhill and embracing perversion.

Standing for the truth is not intolerance. Sin is sin, and it doesn’t matter how you repackage it or try to normalize it. Man doesn’t know more than God, and we cannot redefine what he created. Marriage is ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN, and that is all it will ever be.

And look in the mirror before you talk intolerance. Gays are just as guilty of it. Look at the harassment and mocking and sometimes physical behavior toward those who disagree. If people want tolerance, they must GIVE tolerance as well. It’s not “be tolerant only if you agree with the other person’s view”. Christians speak against the perversion of gay relationships because of an awareness of what the truth really is, the higher dangers of the gay lifestyle and a desire to get the truth out no matter how unpopular it is. It is done out of love and a desire to lead people to the truth of God’s forgiveness, not hate or intolerance or anything of the sort.

I love that monogamous marriage is being described as part of “the sexual revolution”.

If they really wanted to push the envelope, they could show Archie in a poly relationship with Betty and Veronica (and maybe Veronica could have both Archie and Reggie).

Still, it’s great that they’re including Kevin in the marriage stories.
