I guess the writers decided Archie didn't have enough gay sexual tension.

Lol @ some of the moronic comments on the news page.

edit:
For a minute, I thought this was going to be about Rotor the Walrus from Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. This isn't the first time Archie has tried to put a gay character in one of there comics.

I skip over it when I see it in the papers. At least, I think that's what I skip over.

But seriously, who reads this comic still?

 

[yiffytimesnews]

When I first heard this I wondered was Archie still being published? I guess I was wrong.

What. Are you serious? How is Rotor gay? Keep in mind I haven't been following Sonic that closely since, oh, '96-ish

I've never read the Archie comics but I'm aware of their existence

 

[CrispSkittlez]

Heh, it's been years since I've read any Archie comics.
Nice to see they're moving ahead.

It never surfaced in an actual comic. The creators had plans to do so, but later shot down the idea. Sorry I don't have the link anymore. Found out about it on sonicretro.org.

So "officially" Rotor has not been portrayed as gay.

Now if they decided to make Archie fall in love with the new gay character...that'd be rather odd, now owuldn't it?
