On Monday, the It Gets Better Project announced that Archie Comics had joined the campaign. The comic series has been making headlines for adding a gay character, Kevin Keller, and including a storyline about same-sex marriage. Now, the project and comics are dedicating an entire day to the character, all of which will be revealed via social media.

Don’t all these characters go by one name: Archie, Veronica, Jughead? Why does the gay character have to go by two names: “Kevin Keller”?

@yaoming: Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Reggie Mantle, Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, Dilton Doiley, etc. They all have last names. š
