First Archie Comics got its first gay character, Kevin Keller. Now, it’s about to show its first gay marriage. “Life with Archie” depicts Archie as a 20-something; and in issue #16, coming in January, the whole gang attends Kevin’s wedding. 
According to reports, Kevin returns from the war to Riverdale to marry his male partner just as Archie is separating from his wife Veronica.

- The ceremony will be performed by Jughead, who became a minister over the Internet in issue #9.
- Veronica’s good friend Barbie has offered to host the reception at her Malibu Dream House.
