Actually Archie is known to sell more than most major comic titles. In the direct market, the Archie title sells around 35,000 copies - that's not counting the thousands sold at supermarket checkout's and newstands.

Gay Dog Refused Entry to Restaurant

A RESTAURANT in a northwest suburb of Adelaide that refused a blind man entry because it thought his guide dog was "gay" was ordered by the Equal Opportunity Tribunal to pay him $1500. The (Adelaide) Sunday Mail said Ian Jolly, 57, was barred from dining at the Thai Spice restaurant in May 2009 after a staff member mistook his guide dog Nudge for a "gay dog," a tribunal heard this week.
A statement given by restaurant owners Hong Hoa Thi To and Anh Hoang Le said one of the restaurant's waiters said that Mr Jolly's partner Ms Chris Lawrence stated "she wanted to bring a gay dog into the restaurant."

Seems that Riverdale High is where the gay action is nowadays.

Or rather, it's high schools across the South that have become the center of the gay rights movement this graduation season.

There's the lesbian who wanted to take her girlfriend to their Mississippi prom. The school didn't have any basis to ban them from attending - so they cancelled the prom!. The girl sued, and a judge found the school acted improperly - but didn't award any damages because a private prom was being arranged, which the girls were invited to.

Little did they know that the private prom was a ruse and a trick. When the girls got there, it turned out to be a short-bus prom with only 7 other unpopular and special-ed kids in attendance, while the rest of the senior class had a SECRET private prom that same night at an undisclosed location.

A week or so later, a gay guy in (Tennessee or Alabama? - I forget) wanted to take his date to the prom, and the school said "sure." Wow, what a difference. Oh, except his parents kicked him out of the house for being gay (or rather for getting so much publicity about being gay), and now he's homeless. Nice.

Yesterday, again in Mississippi, a school removed all mention of a graduating lesbian student from their yearbook. She wore a tuxedo in the school picture. They said they would not run the photo because it violated their dress code, but they went further and removed all mention of her in the yearbook - despite that she's an honor's student involved in a ton of activities and teams. Meanwhile, kids who have been found guilty of drug offenses and kids who have dropped out & aren't even graduating remain in the yearbook.

These incidents have riled the gay activist community. We don't like it when kids are picked on. Gay kids have a vastly higher suicide rate than straight kids, so we don't take bullying lightly - and we don't take school discrimination well at all.

Pfft, we should have let the Confederacy go their own way when we had the chance. I'm sure there are millions of nice people there, and the South has a well-deserved reputation for politeness and charm. It also has a well-deserved reputation for bigotry and backwardness. I hope every gay kid unfortunate enough to grow up there finds a way to get the hell out.
